FREE: MARVEL The Torch #4 OF 8

The listing, MARVEL The Torch #4 OF 8 has ended.

The Torch is an eight-issue miniseries commissioned as a pseudo-sequel of sorts to Avengers/Invaders for Marvel Comics for its 70th anniversary. It is a thoughtful and intimate look at a classic Marvel character, the original World War II Torch. Writer Mike Carey fleshes his characters with definition and care, with detailed artwork by Patrick Berkenkotter, drawing the title character in the Golden Age style. The fourth issue makes things more frantic and the scope becomes more sweeping as Prince Namor and his Atlanteans ent;er the picture. This is what happens when you pair a good writer with a good artist and give them the freedom to handle their material. Sparks fly and flames burn bright.
