YES, WHAT IF YOU DID THAT, BUCKY

I'm not sure what reaction this panel is supposed to have to evoked?

"DON'T LISTEN, BUCKAROO, WHAT WE NEED IS MORE CHILD SOLDIERS"

anyway it's obvious why readers wanted bucky and toro written out of this comic

Sidekicks are so antithetical to Marvel house style

And I am pretty sure they all meet terrible ends

always posting mongoose blood

I can't remember if I saw this before when you posted it or when I read it in a comic tbh

maybe both

the whizzer

golden age names are the best

remember when wanda and pietro's parents were supposed to be miss america & the whizzer

didn't he give her away at her wedding or something

wow I've had to look up dumb maximoff lore so many times and I somehow never came across that

idk if it was ever like made official canon but it was definitely strongly hinted at

what is this posing

PRAISE THE SUN

jack frost is a character I forgot all about:

"I hate humans but for some reason I'm here to join your superhero team I saw in your classified ad"

at least they gave Namor a reason to hate Nazis

that's the bucky content I live for

red skull's talking points here presage the weird anti-Lincoln libertarian cult

(though Lincoln was a racist, so?)

my random tour through invaders comics continues and:

i feel the rational for more than 50% of modern invaders team-ups is just "no one else will deal with namor"

it's true of 100% of the past four years or so of invaders comics… which, not sure why marvel keeps trying to make invaders happen but they have

why would you kidnap namor, what kind of masochist would do that

and yet namor has been on more teams than probably anyone else in the marvel universe

cap: no one would agree to help
me: [gestures at the f4 and the x-men]

well, it's the kree

DOOM

yeah he probably does blend right in, given the average kree level of assholishness

omg i want the cap/doom team-up to rescue namor

cap: you'd better appreciate this, he lectured me on imperialism the whole trip out

anyway tbf that's very characteristic of captain america to come off like a douche where the x-men are concerned

lmao as we were saying:

namor, everyone's been an avenger. you were an avenger for like five minutes.

if you found out about the kree, it was from the four

you know, the people you've been stalking since the 60s

anyway yeah, invaders books are never good, those are just the rules

this one is less bad than I remember

okay unsure if I meant that

this also is dumb, dumb things to say for 400

the classic invaders trope of "villains ignore useless bucky"

also pretty stupid

remember when tony stark installed magnets on the shield because in the 60s magnets could explain anything

unless you're fighting magneto

I feel like part of the reason Invaders comics aren't good is b/c they're kind of obsessed with nit-picky continuity details

did we really need to go here, marvel?

siiiiiiigh

i'm not sure they should have done the japanese internment camp arc either!

kid commandos is a dumb name, on this he is correct

unsure that "learning to be men on the battlefield" is what happens but, go on

namor does ditch his other superhero teams to hang out with this one

tbf the illuminati-era new avengers was a team of assholes
