Thanks to the machinations of Captain America, Hydra has finally conquered the Earth in Marvel’s Secret Empire event. But as you can probably imagine, Cap’s teammates in the Invaders may have hard feelings about watching their friend take up the same fascist ideology that they fought so hard against in the second World War.
Next week, the Invaders will come back together in Secret Empire: Brave New World # 1, a new five-issue anthology series that tells different short stories from across the Marvel Universe. For the first issue, writer Paul Allor, artist Brian Level, and colorist Jordan Boyd have joined forces for a five-part adventure that brings the original Human Torch and Toro down to Atlantis, as they seek the aid of their former teammate, Namor. But as you can see in CraveOnline’s exclusive preview, Namor has problems of his own…and he’s not exactly thrilled to see his old friends show up on his doorstep.
