15. The All-New Invaders

Y’know, I coulda put the classic Invaders on here, but I wanted to give some love to a title that got cancelled too soon.

James Robinson is one of my favorite writers ever, and his work on stuff like Starman and Airboy puts him firmly at the top of his tier. So when I heard he was getting an All-New Marvel Now book, I was pretty excited. And when I heard this book was gonna be about the Invaders, my excitement only grew.

Robinson writes golden age characters like no one else, and his take on Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch, made a character that bored me into one I have a strong personal affinity for. Seeing the Winter Soldier tagging along with Cap, Torch, and Namor was pitch perfect. The reintroduction of Toro, the creation of Radiance and Iron Cross? All great! And the fact that The Invaders start their story by battling an alien invasion? Brilliance.

Near perfect book, awesome team.
