It's good to see amongst all the banal stuff being turned out by Marvel, one of the old guard, Mark Waid is holding the fort, with this simple abut effective Invisible Woman Limited Series, focused solely on her, her past and the tricky situation that her past gets her into, today. With some interesting guests, some new insights into Sue's powers and some OK art (Mattia de Iulis), this is worth a read for Fantastic Four fans. 6.5 out of 12.
I thought this was a nice little addition to the Invisible Woman's backstory. On occasion, she would run undercover ops for SHIELD. When her old partner disappears, Sue goes on a rescue mission. Sue Richards is definitely the most underrated member of the Fantastic Four and arguably its most powerful member. I liked all the inventive uses of Sue's powers Waid came up with. They were well illustrated by the artist too.
Quick and fun espionage story with gorgeus digitalized art, but since when is Sue Storm a spy, felt a bit out of character, the abundance of flirting was a tad creepy as well.
I love the Invisible Woman; she's definitely in my top three female Marvel characters; so any chance I get at seeing her in solo action (see what I did there?) I'm going to grab with both joyous hands. Especially if it's written by Mark Waid, who is one of my all-time favourite comicbook writers. He does a great job with Sue in this mini-series; totally nails it, as you would expect. I'd definitely give the story 5 stars.So now we come to artwork... Sigh. Well, it's undeniably very pretty but I'...
It’s about damn time, Invisible Woman finally gets a much deserved solo outing and it’s fantastic. Invisible Woman paved the way for all the Marvel heroines to come and out of the rest of the FF she typically gets the short end of the stick rarely appearing outside of the main FF book. Sue is hands down my favorite member of the FF so it made me happy seeing her finally get her own mini. This book does a great job showing who Sue is, it focuses on her career as a spy. I think spy stories like th...
4.5 stars. This was so good!! A nice espionage caper with Sue Storm and some really cool cameos. Mark waid definitely built up some suspense in this. This easily could have been a 5 star rating once you throw in the dope artwork. I dropped it a half star because the end was too abrupt. It’s like, the story has you so into it then it just ends. Turn the page for a quick convo between Hill and Storm and it’s over. But all in all this is definitely worth checking out.
A fun little spy thriller. Invisible Woman likes to go on missions every once in awhile. With her power set this is pretty easy and she's also badass, so that helps. However, what happens when her past comes back to haunt her? Do you ever really know someone? The twist upon twist keep this refreshing and fun, and the art is pretty cool photo-realistic style. I personally enjoy Invisible Woman's point of view on things and the pacing was nice and quick. The ending was good too. While nothing blew...
3.5 stars (rounded up.)Full disclosure; I'm a long-time FF adherent, and I think Sue Storm is one of the most under-rated characters (and HEROINES) in the entire Marvel pantheon.That said, this was an enjoyable read, even if it plays a bit fast and loose with canon and Sue's backstory. Seeing Sue Storm be the focus of a book is LONG overdue, and seeing her get to kick ass pretty unrepentantly is a nice change of pace for a character that was milquetoast for FAR too long!
The artwork is so beautiful if hurts. Susan Storm is especially sensual, expressive and feminine. It's just a joy to see such gorgeous art. The story is fitting for a James Bond movie with plenty of shootouts, more twists than I can count and an indestructable main character. It's a fun ride, though I still wonder why this level of bombastic action is viewed as spycraft. I guess 90's action movies live on.Susan is contacted by the CIA for a mission. Her former spy partner needs help when the Mor...
That was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
As far as the quality of the story goes this is more like 3 stars, but I'm going to round up. I enjoyed a familiar, simple story with one of the classic characters of my childhood. I enjoyed the attempt to have a weighty conversation about the morality of "superheroes don't kill." The whole thing was just an exercise in comfort and nostalgia. Less chocolate. More like vanilla ice cream.
Solid spy thriller. Being new to graphic novels I didnt realise Sue did this type of thing.
I am not generally a FF or Waid guy. But this is a fun, brisk and different story that does a great job highlighting Sue.I'm kind of sad that it ends here.But why would one wear a FF costume spying?
Solo books for the Thing or the Human Torch are one thing, but for Sue (or Reed, for that matter) to have one feels somehow odd in and of itself. It gets order: turns out that Sue used to have a sideline in espionage, which may or may not be a new development, but does make a lot of sense given her invisibility and force-field powers, and the fact that she's always been the Fantastic Four member you'd least like to end up on the wrong side of. Now, a loose end from that has lured her back into t...
Public library copy. An unusual start and quite a different way utilizing a character as a spy, it's almost as if the author was trying to find a way back to doing the great spy stories that he and Sam née did with Black Widow. I enjoyed the work as a free item to read borrowing from my library but I don't think even the great Adam Hughes and his covers can convince me to buy the book or reread anytime soon.
Massive espionage fun with super sexy and beautiful art. Really good to see that Waid still have good stories in him.
A fun spy jaunt starting the Invisible Woman. Definitely worth a read.
An interesting exploration of an often sidelined character. While the Fantastic Four aren't quite as prominent in Marvel Comics as they used to be, Sue Storm is even further from the foreground. It's tragically ironic that the power of the Invisible Woman is rarely ever admired.This miniseries seeks to address that, giving Sue her own solo adventure. With powers that can render both herself and other objects invisible, it seems obvious that she would be an asset in the world of espionage. Accord...
Love the idea of Invisible woman finally getting a solo outing and Mark Waid is a solid writer.Unfortunately, I really dislike his idea that Sue had a part time job working for SHIELD.It was a cute one off story, but he's gone back to it a couple times and it feels like a bit of forced retconning.And on top of it, Waid does not miss a spy thriller cliche, so it's a wildly predictable take on an idea I don't like.So, much potential here and it all feels wasted.Reeks of, 'We can't just show her be...
'My name is Susan Storm Richards, and I am a kaleidoscope. [...] When you look at me, you see an adventurer...a mother...a wife...a big sister...a friend. [...] As one of the Fantastic Four, I've spent years touring the wonders of the multiverse.'She prefers a perfect cup of coffee on earth.This woman is anything but invisible.I came into 'Invisible Woman: Partners in Crime' with little knowledge of Susan Storm, aka the Invisible Woman - or what little I did know wasn't positive - and I at least...
