Marvel Universe #3

The Invaders are outnumbered and fighting for their lives in this third issue of Marvel Universe, as Captain America deflects enemy fire with his shield, the Sub-Mariner dives into the fray from above, and the Human Torch blazes at the bottom of a swarming assault by green-uniformed soldiers. Paul Smith's cover crackles with wartime energy, capturing the Invaders' trademark dynamic of three very different heroes working together against overwhelming odds. With Roger Stern writing and Steve Epting and Al Williamson handling interior art, "The Eve of Destruction!" promises the kind of sharp, character-driven action that makes this team so compelling.
