All-New Invaders #6

The Watcher's eye gives her visions of some unspecified connection between the Invaders and the dropping of the atom bomb.

Heh. He got to understand the score, and acclimatized to the modern day, but he obviously hasn't been reading up on the field of psychology.

Part of this feels like a reference to the mid-90s HEROES REBORN Captain America or even that ICE story from right before Brubaker's run.

I'm expecting Cap to say something like "See, this is why there are conspiracy theories about me being deliberately frozen so I wouldn't protest the use of the atomic bomb."

So, far ORIGINAL SIN seems to be less "Character A did a bad, bad thing" and more "Character A made a mistake and lied to his friends about it," with said friends being angrier over the lying than the mistake.

It amuses me that I'm pretty sure that Horn's appeared before...

[q99]

Wow, that was a sudden betrayal! :D

[burkeonthesly]

Yet inevitable.

[lieut_kettch]

Curse it!

[halloweenjack]

OK, that "Ha-ha! I'm the master of the world!" panel is pretty hilarious.

Here's the uncropped version,

TOOT

Didn't the horn first appear in his first 'modern' re-appearance in FF #4?

[icon_uk]

It's appeared a time or two, including IIRC, the "Atlantis Attacks" annuals crossover in 1989 when we were introduced to Rob Liefeld's Atlantean super-teens SURF when Ghaur uses "The Horn of Doom" to summon monsters

Nothing I hate more than a character saying they're going to unveil the secrets.... right after this month long interlude, see ya next issue, folks!

It's neat though that Captain America's old "Commander Steve Rogers" seems to have become the standard uniform for important SHIELD characters. It's good design.

[chrisdv]

I was gonna say. I like that the Torch has his own variation on it, too.

[big_daddy_d]

Seconded

[deepspaceartist]

Agreed on the uniform part. Having that uniform or variations on it become standard issue for SHIELD superheroes is one of the best superhero costuming choices I've seen in a long while.

Heck, this may be the first time that the Hammond Human Torch is sporting a better costume than the Storm Human Torch.

I like Radiance as a character, but I hate her Psuedo Japanese name. It's usually "Adjective Noun Name" for super characters in Japan. I mean, just take a quick sample:

"Space Sheriff Gavan"
"Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon"
"Space Knight Tekkaman"

And so on.

"Supreme Radiant Friend" just doesn't work -- unless it sounds really cool in Japanese.
