I was a bit disapointed with this TPB after the excellent first two. It goes back to the first invasion of the Earth and explains a lot of plot points; namely why Heath and his wife broke up and why he left Earth, mainly. It also shows where the orange jumpsuits, rock packs, and spaceship come from.
The thing is, I never asked those questions. I figured Heath’s reasons for leaving his wife and Earth would be eventually explained in a short flashback and I took everything else for granted. There’s so much old-school sci-fi technology and weird alien races that aren’t fleshed out that I took it for granted.
Instead we get four long issues showing the minor details. It seems like Remender is throwing a bone to the fans that demand explanations for every mundane detail instead of just getting on with the story.
To be fair, there is plenty of action, some comedy, and lots and lots of glorious monsters. There’s also a huge shock that explains Heath’s drinking. Tony Moore is back drawings and the art is glorious.
