From a Golden Age: The Invaders Appreciation

[Chief Jon]

Actually, it's the Kid Commandos vs. the Invaders. Golden Girl, the Human Top and Toro. I wonder if Brubaker's retconned trained killer Bucky was also a part of it. The Kid Commandos were mostly supposed to be a PR stunt.
Something else I wish Robinson would soon adress is the V-Battalion. Most WWII legacies were, at some point or another, members of it.

Peace

Thanks for the correction. I could feel my foot entering my mouth with that one, but I knew enough to know I didn't know enough.

Have we seen Jack Frost or Blue Diamond show up elsewhere in the MU? All the rest have appeared a few times in books and various incarnations of the Invaders, but I don't recall seeing them.

I think Blue Diamond was in All-Winners Squad: Band of Heroes, but that was basically in the past.



I remember he was in this back in the last century:


And did Jack Frost make any modern-day appearances since this issue of Captain America?

Maybe this month's Original Sin tie-in will get a few more people buying issue #6 and #7?

I do love that cover. I wish it were by Pugh to match the interiors, but it's a great image of those three making mincemeat of zombie-t-800s.

[MajorHoy]

Well, at least we know they're planning to go through issue #10 . . . hope we see more World War II-era scenes within those issues as well.

[Chief Jon]

Looking at that Deathlok war cover it occurs to me that this title is the closest thing Marvel has right now to a straight, non-black-ops military/war comic. And this got me thinking . . . would anybody else want to see an Invaders/Thunderbolts (current version) and/or Invaders/X-Force story? because since I had my little epiphany there I REALLY want that to be able to happen. While we're at it I wouldn't mind seeing a tie-in or guest appearance by former mercenary Marc "Moon Knight" Spector either.

I'd love Marc to show up. I'm a huge MK fan and would like to see what James Robinson would do with him.

I like your ideas Chief Jon.

Not if it meant having to buy Thunderbolts or any X-books to get the full story.

Which title is Doctor Nemesis in? Strikes me an Invaders/X crossover with present day action flashing back to that missing wartime Dr Nemesis/Invaders post Nazi phase reconciliation story that explains why Namor didn't kill Nemesis on sight when he showed up in recent times, might be a good boost.

I definitely appreciate the sentiment, but there's part of me that thinks a readership boosting exchange between titles might benefit our beloved ANI's sales numbers so if we got a boost from the buyers of those books I guess I would, personally, be willing to play ball and pick up another series or two for a month or so. It's likely a moot point anyhow since Robinson has, historically, not been one to involve his titles in direct cross-overs with anybody else's series.

I don't believe he's in anything since Cable and X-Force ended (though I didn't read that, nor am I reading the new X-Force series).

That's the spirit CWM! I hope you all like the ideas I lay out in the column I'm working on now over at Marvel 616 Politics. It's a bit along the lines of my Namor/Superman essay except this time I'm delving into Jim "The Torch" Hammond. Oh! and the next piece I wrote for my [more] regular column focuses on Moon Knight too. Good timing I guess.

[Moriarty]

i'm very curious as to what they're gonna do with Toro.
