What can I say? Alex Ross, Jim Krueger and Steve Sadowski . . . I think these guys motivate and inspire each other. Seriously, I think there's something about each of them that motivates the next. The story and plot is fantastic. The character development and interaction is perfect. And the artwork is near infallible. Add to that the iconic cast of characters that we're dealing with here, and I think we have a masterpiece in the making. I hope you're picking it up, because, in the future, you're only going to be able to get this in TPB or ultimate editions. But here . . . here you can get it as it's made . . as it comes out . . as it develops and grows. There's not many times where you can recognize that is happening as it happens. This is one of those times. Things start to come to a head this issue. Tony has called the Avengers aboard the helicarrier to try to contain this threat to space and time. Meanwhile the renegade Avengers have also showed up to try to help with the Invaders rescue. And Bucky, who is now Cap, has popped on board to try to stop himself from making further mistakes. This book is truly amazing. Unfortunately, this is the last issue. What? Psyche! Sorry, this is just the last issue of chapter one. I guess they're going to take a 2 month hiatus. Can't say I blame 'em really. Alex and Jim are also doing the Project Superpowers series, and Alex is contributing regular covers to JSA, Batman and Action Comics right now. Man that guys busy. Anyways, issue #5 is supposed to be coming out in October. That's a pretty short wait, and I'm absolutely sure that it'll be worth the wait. If you haven't already, you definitely need to go back and pick up the first 4 issues. That way you'll be ready for #5.
