Rated T+
I love this book and can't wait to read the next issue already. Chip Zdarsky brings the action, the character moments and the clever twists without making you wait for six issues to get them. Outrageous! The story and art combine to make this book feel so important and I give this my full recommendation. Read Full Review
A really great mystery series that is surely going to be worth following. Read Full Review
Editor's notes remark about this building off a recent Avengers arc, but prior reading is unnecessary as Zdarsky puts the work into showing what the team was like in wartime compared to now they're at odds, and in demonstrating the mental effects it can have on one's psyche. Read Full Review
The book may have faltered slightly from the first issue, though there is surely much more over the horizon that will excite fans. Read Full Review
They really don't write 'em like this anymore. It takes a strong talent to put a fresh spin on old material without deviating from the source material and our creative team does it with flying colors. I never thought an Invaders title, which I only slightly enjoyed during the original run, could catch my attention and hold it like this has. Our heroes battle inner conflict as well as an outward enemy and we're left wanting more as this story progresses. Loyalties will be tested and friendships strained, perhaps to the point of no return. We can see the motivation for each character and this makes for a compelling issue as the inevitability of war seems to loom! **** 8.8 rating Read Full Review
Namor you’ve been one of my favorites for years but if you kill that family I’ll fucking hate you :)
This was really good.
Man, this has so many complicated feelings in it, poor Namor.
Very compelling story with plenty of mystery involved. Great art as well. Looking forward to more of this.
Cap, Bucky, and the OG Torch ferret out more of Namor's present-day plans. Wartime flashbacks continue to illuminate and complicate the story. The prose is decent, as is the art, on average (some highs and lows). The plot is the real draw here; it's an outstanding spy-thriller tale that is enough to hold my attention all by itself.
