Avengers/Invaders, Vol. 1

Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The original Invaders (Captain America, Bucky, Human Torch, Toro, and the Sub-Mariner) return, courtesy of the award-winning team behind Earth X, Justice, and Project: Superpowers! The greatest super-team of World War II finds itself transported from the battlefields of the Second World War to a future they never imagined! Now, the Invaders must face two teams of Avengers who want desperately to believe these heroes are who they say they are, while Tony Stark confronts his greatest challenge since the Civil War as he must deal with the "return" of Steve Rogers. Confronted by a world they barely recognize, the Invaders will have to show Earth's Mightiest Heroes just what kind of power, courage, and sheer determination it took to defeat the forces of unrelenting evil in the twentieth century. In fact, they may just have to do it again in the twenty-first! Collects Avengers/Invaders #1-4.
