Uber: Invasion #12

[laughing_tree]

Our first time back to spend any proper time in Germany, and things continue to be fucking horrible. Also, a key character reveal which was set up in issue zero, which means it's been in my head since 2008. An entire decade before I got to share a twist. That's almost George-R-R-Martian. Almost. -- Kieron Gillen

The story might be going in a different direction, but it does put in perspective how desperate of a situation Nazi Germany is if they are trying to utilise Zero as a weapon. And the Siegfried reveal was cool in that it does put a lot of his actions in the series in a different light.

Hoping you get hanged in this timeline Speer.

I'm guessing Scheele is gay and they met through whatever community existed between the LGBT in Germany and became friends. Which makes her fate a bit more unfortunate.

Liked the subtle build-up with Scheele's decision to try to end the war. Lots of silent panels of her calculating.

Liked the exposition at the beginning, Germany's infrastructure was wrecked in the beginning of the series. I like how even though they took Britain and France, not having enough people plus winning by using the equivalent of atomic bombs to blow up everything ruins most of the benefits.

Still surprised they think it's possible to win. Even if they discover a powerful new Uber-type they lost their best forces in America and are going to be hard-pressed to find more men with Uber potential... Which makes me think there are going to be alot more Markus's... that's a terrifying thought...

I think that's the reason a lot of the battles in Ubers have been victories for the Nazi's. There's a storytelling problem in that once they suffer a major loss, their position is pretty much screwed.

Siegfried was 14...? More likely that they goofed on the date on the stone and added 10 years to the birth year by accident.

Given that we get that right after a panel with his mother(?) talking about him playing with toy soldiers, I think that the suggestion is indeed that he was fourteen.
