This publication is also known as: The Invaders in Marvel Universe #1. Based purely on the title, one might think the title of this issue is The Invaders in Marvel Universe #1. The proper series title, however, is simply Marvel Universe. After issue 3, the Invaders are no longer featured in the series, as the Monster Hunters take over.
