ALIEN INVASION BOOKS SERIES SERIES
This relentless, page-turning tale of apocalyptic dawn is the first in the Alien Invasion series by masters of story Truant & Platt, authors of The Beam, Robot Proletariat, and many more. For years Meyer has been preoccupied by a dreamlike sense of coming peril and knows where he must take his family … if, that is, they can make it before society eats itself alive with fear.
They are on an approach vector toward Earth … and they will arrive in six days.Įntrepreneur Meyer Dempsey is in New York, realizing the time has come to act on all the preparations he’s made without ever consciously knowing why. The objects are enormous spheres numbering in the dozens, maybe hundreds. Most is unknown, but thanks to the popular Astral space app, everyone knows the few facts the government has tried to hide: The discovery of objects approaching from Jupiter orbit sets humanity on edge, sending cities into panic. But please don't worry, you still have more than 500,000 other books you can enjoy! Invasion - Alien Invasion #1 Johnny B. The action in this book is definitely a lot of fun, but the hints at a larger force at work is what will keep me coming back for the next issue.We are sorry! The publisher (or author) gave us the instruction to take down this book from our catalog. In a meta twist on the “one and done” premise, none of the heroes can quite seem to remember why they’re there! Couple that with a strangely morose omniscient narrator and you’ve got a story that definitely has more layers than the creative team is letting on. Speaking of which: The most interesting piece of this narrative may be one that’s hardly commented on.
Sure, this is an apocalyptic scenario, but I can’t help but wonder if this attitude toward taking lives might have something to do with whatever is going on in this story behind the scenes.
I’m used to seeing Blade being cavalier about chopping an enemy to bits, but the brutal beat downs seem to go mostly unnoticed by some of the lighter heroes in the team. I will say that, as much fun as the action is here throughout, and as well-choreographed as it all is, it does feel a bit odd to see the lengths to which some of the heroes will go here in service of saving the day. Between the bright superhero costumes, creepy hues of the alien armada (which seem to have poisoned the very sky), and Leisten’s thick line work, every panel of this just pops. Bringing it all together are Frank D’Armata’s colors and Jay Leisten’s inks. We’ve joined the Avengers at the very end of a difficult battle, so the book has to feel heavy right away. This is a book where every punch feels like it hits hard, because it has to. Greg Land draws the heck out of the action, giving us high-flying and explosive action from the jump. Your mileage may vary when it comes to how much patience you have for non-stop action, but it’s hard to deny how great this book looks.
