Whoa! This was EXCELLENT. This might be my favorite thing Chip's wrote, and I enjoyed a lot of his stuff.

So Namor has had enough. He's going through a phase (emo eyeliner and Gothic feel) and he's ready to set his plans in motion. Cap and Sam, the original Human Torch, are working to stop him alongside them is Bucky Barnes. These are the original Invaders. Not sure who that is? Don't worry, this book will fill you in but won't bombard you with so much Exposition you'll hate yourself. On top of that Namor moves to conquer, but in a different way than you might expect, and the end results give us a truly thrilling adventure.

Chip has really outdone himself here. Creating each character in an amazing way, interactions I always wanted to see, and a truly "holy shit" twist I didn't see coming. On top of that there's a ton of history here with the Invaders but the book smartly fills out in so you understand 99% of it without reading anything prior. On top of that the art is great with some thrilling action scenes and somber moments to match the grim tone at times.

Overall, this is a fantastic mini-series that might only be 12 issues in the end but the first half so far is truly amazing. A 5 out of 5.
