I think this book is a must-read. Chip Zdarsky fills this one issue with more action, character moments and story than a lot of full trades. I cant wait to read the next issue because I havent been this excited about a single issue in a long time! Read Full Review

An incredibly strong debut issue from a killer creative team,Invaders has all the makings of a modern classic. Read Full Review

Great start to what will hopefully be a great series of books, and coming off of his hugely successful Spider-Man run, it looks like Zdarsky is the right guy for the job. Read Full Review

An excellent start to a promising new series. It's a little lacking in presentation as far as some of the characters go, though it ultimately isn't a detriment to the story. Read Full Review

Marvel's latest Invaders relaunch succeeds in casting Namor as both villain and protagonist. Read Full Review

Despite being a team-up book, Namor's narrative occupies the bulk of INVADERS #1. I appreciated the subtler points of the story more on the second read-through, such as the theme of war and how it affects Namor. This is a promising first chapter in a new ongoing story. Read Full Review

Invaders is one of those books that could overlooked on the crowded stands but I'd give it a good recommendation as being a solid book. Good writing and art with a good look at a character that's destined for bigger things. Read Full Review

Invaders #1 successfully sets the stage for what the first major story arc of this series will be. Chip Zdarsky catches us up with where all the original Invaders are in the present and how important their history with each other from WWII is. Namor taking a key role provided the hook needed as Zdarsky positions him as the protagonist to follow while simultaneously being presented in a villainous role. If your a fan of Captain America, Winter Soldier, Namor or the original Human Torch I recommend checking out Invaders #1. Read Full Review

Invaders #1 is a strong first issue for the series. The team has a compelling, character-driven reason for coming together, made all the more urgent by the fantastic twist at the end of the issue. The creative team is firing on all cylinders right out of the gate, and I can't wait to see what happens next. Read Full Review

A solid look at Namor as an antagonist, "Invaders" #1 finally manages to inject the WWII team with purpose. Read Full Review

A very strong first issue! Loved that reveal around the photo and the focus on Namor

Namor is so great omg, someone protect this precious crazy sea-angel.

Chip Zdarsky is on a hot streak...no not that kind...the other one. The good kind. I'm sucked in and want to know what happened. Guice and Magno work well together for their perspective sequences. Great start!!

Fantastic first issue!

A strong first issue. The tone is noticeably different than Zdarsky's typical comic. It's very serious. This issue deals with Namor's recent turn in Avengers and why he's doing what he's doing. And there's something seriously wrong with him. Namor is a surprisingly complex character. He's often reduced to his battle cry or his infatuation with Sue Richards, but he has depth and can be a really cool character and this issue shows that. I wonder how much can actually be done about the Namor situation in this series because this plotline started in Avengers and is an ongoing problem for them, and I feel like it will only really be resolved in Avengers. I'm hoping, even with that handicap, that this comic can tell a great, interesting and character-driven story. Much like Marvel Two-In-One. I'm not sure how I feel about the art, especially the present day art, but I see that the artist can do action well, it's just that the faces look a little odd at times. more

Great start of the new series, with Zdarsky once again proving that he's more than capable of writing serious stories.

OG Human Torch Jim Hammond starts the ball rolling toward handling Namor's current antagonism as an Invaders problem rather than an Avengers problem. Strong character work - particularly the complex portrait of Namor - and some well-above-average art make this a fun read all by itself. And the many mysteries still to be revealed do a great job of fulfilling the prime duty of a #1: Making us interested in #2.

THE GOOD:

-The opening to this was great. Dark, dramatic and effective, and it really does pull you in.

-The flashback art was great, same I can't say the same for the main art.

-The flashbacks in general were the best part.

-I think it's interesting to revisit the Invaders and where they are now. This issue does that effectively.

-The characterization was very good here. Everybody felt like themselves.

-I really liked this issue's war themes. Chip Zdarsky feels like he knows war and what it is and does.

-Jim's scene with the former bystander was really good and intriguing.

-This issue really pulled me in. I liked it.

THE BAD:

-I don't know why, by the main art really didn't jive with me.

-Namor's story was the least interesting for me. I wasn't very into the underwater part of this issue.

-Generally speaking, I wish more could've happened with this issue. I wish the plot could've progressed past what was mostly setup. more

The dialog and plotting can be cliche, but I prefer attempts at emotion than none at all (which is becoming more prevalent with writers like Donny Cates).
