All-New Invaders #2 (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

Robinson does such a great job of walking us through the plot here that it's easy not to notice it as it's happening.  Bucky and Jim explain to Steve that they and Namor decided that the God's Whisper was too powerful for anyone to wield, so they broke it into three separate pieces and hid them.  They then had the original Vision erase their memories of where they each hid a piece.  Since Steve wasn't part of the mission, it feels less like exposition and more like them legitimately giving him a briefing.  By the time that they're done, the mysteries from the first issue are solved and we're ready for the Invaders to launch into space.  It's a pretty simple issue, but Robinson reminds us that those sometimes are even better.

*** (three of five stars)
