From Avengers/Invaders #3Someone on the internet already displayed the greatest panel from this issue (and, incidentally, the week) and the art in this series is established too dynamically for me to break it up through bad cropping. So instead I present you with a page of James "Bucky" Barnes being an efficient and scary sidekick. Not a bad runner-up. I'm really happy that Alex Ross and Jim Krueger's characterization of Bucky can line up so well with the changes Ed Brubaker has made to the Cap mythos since he started on the title. Unlike, say, a new series coming out soon that seems to be regressing the Cap 'n Bucky partnership past even Mark Waid's version from Sentinel of Liberty.
I'm probably one of three people on the internet enjoying this series, but I never let a thing like the majority's criticism keep me from a series so geared toward my tastes it reads like candy. I was skeptical at first that a maxiseries could work for this conceit, but this issue established an arc for each of the Invaders that could well last through the end. Namor fighting for Atlantis. The Human Torch liberating robots. Captain America making Iron Man cry. Bucky wailing on everyone. And Toro...well, Toro's time can come in another issue.
