This story follows the major events from the Civil War conflict, which is a little different in the comics than portrayed in the movie. There were a lot of characters I didn’t know beforehand but it was fairly easy to follow along, even with most of my knowledge coming only from the movies.
It’s definitely not necessary to read this before seeing Namor in the new Black Panther film but I liked that I had a little idea of who his character is. I do like the way they developed him in the movie best but the nods to his personality from the comics were interesting to pick up on.

La historia, sin ser original, resulta interesante y entretenida. Hay varias subtramas metidas con calzador, pero aún así ayudan a mover, pero sobre todo, alargar las cosas. Hay algunos personajes que no me gustó como fueron interpretados, y sobre todo me molestó que Spiderman hiciera bromas mientras pelea, como es su costumbre, pero siempre haya un Avenger que tenga el tiempo de darle un sermón.
Sin embargo lo que más me mató fue el arte, los dibujos simplemente son horribles. Las portadas sensacionales de Alex Ross hacen que el comic se antoje mucho, pero en cuanto lo abres y ves la primera página la decepción pega como balde de agua. Lo terminé por curiosidad más que por gusto.

This is very well written. Admittedly, my knowledge of the Invaders is rather limited. I know of Namor, Cap and Bucky of course. My knowledge of Jim Hammond and Toro is very limited but, from what I saw here, I'm intrigued. The creators clearly loved this team and it shows. Honestly, after reading this, I love this team, too. Sorry but, in a world where standards have started to shift, it's a joy to read about characters who know Nazis are the bad guys. It shouldn't have to be said but: Nazis are the bad guys.
The premise is interesting enough. There's a lot of heart and complex character work done here, not only with the Invaders but with the current Avengers, as well. We get a lot of Tony doing his best to not hurt Cap and dealing with grief over his Steve's death. There's some great stuff with Namor, Jim, Bucky and Toro, as well. It's one of the reasons I love time travel stories (when they're done well). I love seeing these characters learn about what their lives become.
The covers are beautiful. The writing for Namor and Jim is just really powerful stuff. Honestly, Namor talking to his future self was really moving. As was Jim speaking about his creation being solely intended to destroy the oppressors.
Honestly, this is one of the better books I've read this year. By far!
