From a Golden Age: The Invaders Appreciation

[Captain Wessex]

Agents of SHIELD is shown on Channel 4. Channel 4 has indicated that they have no plans to show Agent Carter.

as for the source of my above post, re: Hayley. It comes from her twitter account.

Well, that suxs. I hope Atwell is successful and soon.

I found this funny.

Yes, I'm easily amused.




And now, I'd really like to see this in a comic.

LOL! That's great! Thanks.

Invaders in next week's Fantastic Four preview! Though this must actually take place after the next issue of Invaders, since Falcon Cap is with them as an Invader?

I thought Namor was dead, being recently killed by Black Panther for a number of reasons?

I just caught up with the current series. It's definitely got an old-school feel to it, but there's something to be said for how the book is paced and how it can keep so many threads moving. (Or maybe it helps that I read it all at once?)

I really liked seeing the status quo evolve. For a series about the past, at least in a sense, rooted in the history of the MU, there's a lot of tying in to the moving parts of Marvel continuity. Iron Cross makes a joke about it— Steve is old, Namor's in trouble, Bucky's doing space stuff, but it's not just them. Toro's an Inhuman now and Iron Cross herself is a product of that crossover, Jim's job is changing… but their attempts to make their old dynamic work play off all this in an interesting way.

You do know that the Avengers books 'Time runs out' takes place after those FF scenes right?

[Hrist]

Yeah, the Avengers books are skipped ahead right now.

Right.

But it's Falcon Cap who is out of place storywise / chronologically.

Welcome aboard! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

I found the pacing a bit slow in the first arc, but I was probably impatient. But yes, it's amazing how many threads Robinson crammed in and kept going. I think the last issue, the one without any Invaders, was the only one I thought was more of an info dump, then his usual adept plate twirling. Of course, knowing that was one less book with the Invaders appearing (we've only got two more), may have had something to do with that.

I agree entirely with your last paragraph. I love the old school vibe, and how Robinson makes the book feel part of the MU with nods to events in other books. You don't see that much any more.

What did you think of the art? I loved Mukesh Singh's covers from the first arc, as well as Steve Pugh's art. Marc Lamming does a great job too, though his art is less ... superheroey? And if you've read this thread, you know I can't say enough good things about P.Craig Russell's work.

True but he joins in 14 this month so not too much out of place. After all there's only two issues of Invaders left

No, I can't keep up with everything and when something goes out of synch with yet is linked to more prominent titles I catch every now and then I can get thrown off.

Yep, in the long run, it will seem simultaneous and fall into place, but week to week, it's a little confusing.

That's on Hickman and his 8 month time jump for the Avengers books.
