Invaders #12

Invaders ends as it began: one of the strongest books on the shelves, and a powerful meditation on the bonds of wartime brotherhood and whether or not they're strong enough to prevail when one brother goes off the deep end. This book has absolutely been not only one of Marvel's finest in 2019, but one of the medium's best books, period. Read Full Review

I wish this book wasn't ending, but I also wish it got a little more time to end. A lot of this finale felt crammed in and forced to a rushed ending and that is a shame. When given the space and time, Chip Zdarsky had a special thing going, but unfortunatley, not enough people jumped on. I jumped on and am so glad I did, but that makes the way it ended that much harder. Read Full Review

Yes, the relationship between Cap and Namor feels well-considered and a single guest page by Butch Guice is smile-inducing, but these are rare exceptions in a comic that reads like the local roller coaster that only lifts about a dozen feet off the ground. Read Full Review

This wasn't the best issue, as it was mostly playing clean up, while making sure not to upset the status quo too much so that Aaron can return to the conflict in Avengers. But the emotional core of the book remains, and that's really good.

Invaders 12 did it’s job: the world was saved, Machan was defeated, the Sunken are human again, and yet Namor hasn’t changed too much so much so that Aaron can still use him in his Avengers book

Zdarsky's writing is solid as usual, but it's Carlos Magno that gets a chance to shine in some impressive splash pages for this fitting finale.

Cut way too short and it shows as Zdarsky rushed to put a bow on it. Great series and I'm glad it went on as long as it did. Magno and Guice were great!!

I feel like it was a teensy bit rushed and I would have like more of something, but it was a solid ending.

The Invaders rush to defeat Machan and save the world, with Namor mostly on board. The series really needed another issue to tease out Machan's plans organically; instead, we have to make do with a clumsy expository summary. Speaking of clumsy, Carlos Magno's Big Fight Art draws its fingernails across the chalkboard of my soul with stiff figures, poor focus, and a distressing lack of motion. This script needed spectacular art to work, and in my subjective opinion, it absolutely did not get it. (Also, are readers supposed to forget that Machan body-jacked a dude to get into the real world? How do you punish Machan without punishing Roman? Or was there something said about Roman being dead forever?)
