Retro Review: All New Invaders #1 (2014)<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

The comic opens in a prologue, in which we see several Kree soldiers and <\/span>Fang<\/b>,\u00a0 a dead member of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard.\u00a0 The Kree are looking for something they call the <\/span>Gods’ Whisper<\/span><\/i>, or at least the part of it that Namor hid, they say. They find this Gods’ Whisper and the prologue ends and the main story picks up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch<\/b>, is living as a human mechanic in the small town of Blaketon, Illinois. He is attacked by <\/span>Tanalth the Pursuer<\/b>, of the <\/span>Kree Pursuer Corps<\/b>, who is seeking something from his memory. \u00a0 During her battle with the Torch, Tanalth says that by probing his memory, she did indeed recover the last piece of information she needed.\u00a0 During her mind probe of Hammond, he experiences a memory of his time with the Invaders of World War Two, though it is a memory of an event he did not recall participating in.\u00a0 In the memory (served as a flashback, the Invaders (<\/span>Sub-Mariner, Bucky, the Torch<\/b>, and <\/span>Major Liberty<\/b>), along with U.S. Army troops, are battling Nazi troops commanded by <\/span>Baron Strucker<\/b>.\u00a0 Also, Strucker has a device with which he is able to control the Norse Goddess of Death, <\/span>Hela<\/b>.\u00a0 Hela kills Major Liberty in this flashback memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end of this comic book shows Hammond being defeated by Tanalth, but then saved from death by the intervention of <\/span>Captain America<\/b> and Bucky, the <\/span>Winter Soldier<\/b>. In the course of Tanalth’s pursuit of the Torch, she kills Hammond’s boss and destroys parts of the town of Blaketon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final page shows a scene on Hala, the Kree homeworld, where we find Namor, the Sub-Mariner, a captive of the <\/span>Kree Supreme Intelligence<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n
