Synopsis for "Old Soldiers, New Wars"

December, 1943:
Bucky keeps a war journal chronicling the adventures of his teammates the Invaders. The Invaders go to Monte Cassino in Italy in order to retrieve the Ordnung Zeitgeist before Hitler's forces can lay claim to it. They encounter a group of Nazi soldiers and begin fighting. U.S. forces arrive to give them back-up. During the firefight, Union Jack is injured. Suddenly, a strange green mist envelops the Invaders.

Manhattan, the Present: The Thunderbolts have been assigned to bring in the unregistered super-human Spider-Man. They engage Spidey in combat, but Spider-Man manages to evade each of their attacks. A green mist rises up from below and begins floating across the city. Spider-Man is not sure what is going on, but snidely asks if somebody pulled Radioactive Man's finger. Suddenly, the Invaders appear in the middle of Times Square. They are startled by their surroundings and have no idea where (or when) they are. Spider-Man sees them and is shocked to see Captain America, apparently alive and well. The Invaders suspect that this is some kind of Nazi trick and attack the Thunderbolts. During the fray, Spider-Man escapes and hijacks the Thunderjet.

News of the incident quickly reaches the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Maria Hill briefs S.H.I.E.L.D. director Tony Stark. Tony stands somberly before his computer display terminal and mutters a single word, "Steve".

Solicit Synopsis

LEGENDS LIVE AGAIN.

The original Invaders (Captain America, Bucky, Human Torch, Toro, and the Sub-Mariner) return in a twelve issue maxi-series by the award winning team behind EARTH X, Justice and Project Superpowers. The greatest super-team of World War II finds themselves transported from the battlefields of the Second World War to a future they never imagined! Now, the Invaders find themselves confronted by two teams of Avengers who want desperately to believe these heroes are who they say they are, while Tony Stark faces his greatest challenge since the Civil War as he must deal with the "return" of Steve Rogers. Confronted by a world they recognize, the Invaders will have to show two teams of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes just what kind of power, courage and sheer determination it took to defeat the forces of unrelenting evil in the Twnetieth century. In fact... they may just have to do it again in the Twenty-First.
