[Silver Surfer]

Wolverine, Stormbreaker, The Hulk sounds great. I love the action of the New Invaders but what's this cr@p about the Torch, Sub-Mariner and Captain America together for the last time. While I haven't seen issues #4 or #5 yet they still haven't even bothered to showcase the Torch yet and now I get the feeling that he is the obvious choice to get killed off again. If it happens its just bloody blasphemy.
