It's been almost a year since I had a look at one of the original
Invaders books and being that they've become my favourite Marvel team, I shall check out another one now.
Captain America and
Bucky are incognito in a movie theater in London England, watching highlights of their own adventures. Evidently
Namor is not the only character on this team with an ego.
As the pair leaves the theater, there's a blackout in the city. In the time it takes for them to suit up, a scream for help caches their attention. It leads them to the scene below.
The heroes make short work of the Nazis but are taken by surprise by a sudden heel turn.
Ah, she was with Ze Germans all along! She, and the hooded Nazis in the preceding image, escapes her hostage.
Captain America and
Bucky let them go to ensure that the Germans do not harm the young soldier.
Instead, they head to their headquarters to meet with the rest of the team. When Cap tells everyone what just occurred,
Bucky and
Toro recognize the name of the private who was snatched (as they should, since his first name is Biljo"). They remember him as a comic book writer/artist so they check his material for a clue.
Fearing that Hitler may be attempting to use "Biljo" to duplicate the super soldier formula which created
Captain America, the team heads off in
Namor's Atlantean airship to Fortress Europe, apparently the fuhrer's hiding spot, to rescue the young man. As they near the castle, a projectile knocks out one of the wings on the ship.
The projectile was actually an old foe named
Master Man.
Namor's pissed that his ship was wrecked so he wants the get the first shot in.
Namor is stunned by
Master Man's super bosom.
MM wrecks the rest of the team single-handedly. They are restrained in the fortress and get a visit from the boss.
Meh. I love Nazi villains but I hate when Hitler shows up. Mind you, the next issue will introduce a character named Warrior Woman, so we get to look forward to that and hopefully a decent scrap between
Namor and
Master Man.
