Quick Summary

Commentary

The vile Merrano lays bare his plans this issue. Flood the earth in concordance with Atlantean folklore. Using the Necromancer from last issue, Thin Man, Peter Noble and Nia have discovered this tidbit and are about to set plans in motion to stop the disgusting Merrano. Then Captain America, the real one, stops by to give Thin Man the boyscout routine. Having learned of Merrano's plans, Cap decides to take the Invaders and stop him.

Afterwards ensues a great battle scene, but the most interesting facet of the issue was Thin Man and Noble's conversation. Thin Man's mind contains more twists and contortions than Kalahian body could ever be capable of. He's one of those characters who's always a dozen steps ahead, and this is a huge improvement over the goofy Dr. Dickson we were treated to in the original Invaders series. If for nothing else, Jacobsen deserves a hearty commendation on the transformation he's given this character.

However, that's not the only praise Jacobsen is worthy of, even with sugh a large ensemble, he gives each character a bit of time and development, from increasing the Blazing Skull's level of cartoonish insanity, to widening the rift in Spitfire's and Union Jack's relationship. Even Peter Noble and Nia, who together only appear for a little over a page, recieve further growth and characterization. There's so much more I could comment on, Jacobsen really packs the action and development in, he tells in one issue what others would take an entire story arc for.

Highly recommended, I give it an A.
