This is the first Marvel comic I've been really excited about in quite a while, due out next week (merely a one-shot, alas, but I'll take whatever I can get). The old guys have still got it! Figured some of the members here would also be interested, so... Preview pages here:

Thanks for the link.  Even jaded old me can get excited about this one.

Yes, I will definitely pick this one up.

However, I am still peeved at Marvel for cancelling James Robinson's run, 'The New Invaders'
He had a great complex story, bringing together several new characters, a retro superhero World War 1 group (with some surprising inclusions) the Kree and The Eternals [via a Female version of Ronan the Accuser and Makkari], the Inhumans and KillRaven. And what was linking all these together was 'The secrets behind the [HG Wells] Martian invasion.' He was obviously setting up a 'cosmic' story which would have made 'the martians' a central plank in the MCU. What he had created is well-worth reading but the rug was pulled out and it was never finished. Don't you just hate that?

cheers!

You and I can appreciate Robinson's finely-honed sense of continuity and history, and his artful weaving of obscure threads into new patterns of interest, but nothing good really lasts for long at Marvel or DC these days; I've grown to expect that, and take what is offered with a sense of its expected eventual demise. Ample proof (as if it were needed) that the current marketplace for mainstream comics has no sense of comic book history (or any other sense of history -- period pieces seem like a virtual death-knell for any title, regardless of whether some editor really appreciated it).

Robinson did some interesting work on Wonder Woman a year or two back, but of course that didn't last either. The only time the title has been readable in years, IMO. As with most stuff of this type, if we can get 2 or 3 trade collections out of the run, count ourselves as lucky.

The only one that completely baffled me was Robinson's revival of AIRBOY for Image -- clearly he was working out some issues of his own with that one, and trying to be overtly 'experimental' and 'alternative' against his usual writing style.

How many issues did All-New Invaders last? We had some of them in France in a magazine called Avengers Universe (which basically published solo series from the Avengers), and when this magazine stopped only to relaunched as Avengers Now! (because Panini did A LOT of relaunches, even when they were not justified) which was where the same series after the Axis event were published, minus All-New Invaders. Today, there's no collected edition available for this series in French, whereas we still have regular collections of Civil War (8 different formats to date).

It ran for 15 issues (and was later collected into 3 trade paperbacks). You can find all of the issues in stock at mycomicshop.com (or just browse the covers).
