This is mostly a collection of done in one stories with an undercurrent of a bigger story growing, which comes to a head in the final issue. Each individual issue delves nicely into the team members of the Guardians of the Globe, and it's nice to get some insight into some members of the Invincible Universe. Everyone's favourites are here, like Brit, Wolfman, and Robot, but there are plenty of new characters around too who are all unique and interesting. The thing that lets this story down is th...

Actually 2.5 points.Invincible is one of m favorite comic series. The mixture of super heroes, soap opera, parody and humor creates a very enjoyable series. Guarding the Glode is a spin off of that series focusing on the other superheroes of the Invincible verse. I felt that in Guarding the globe the soap part which I liked so much in Invincible took second seat for the action and parody. But other than that this was a fun,old school style superheroes team book. Lots of references to things like...

Meh, no es tan entretenido como me habría gustado.

An old superhero team needs new members to fight global threats. This book is all about putting that team together and introducing the characters. All of them have their own quirks and its fun seeing them interacting with each other. It also sees an order of bad guys expanding which makes sense to combat the new team. A good read.

I liked this Invincible spin-off quite a bit. I liked that a couple of twists that I thought were "obviously coming" totally didn't come and that when events crossed over into or referenced the main Invincible story it was brief and didn't require the reader to be up-to-date on Invincible. So, in theory, I could suggest this book to someone without suggesting 12 volumes of Invincible first. I don't know that I would, but I could. There might be someone out there that matches this exact story per...

The pacing on this was all wrong; the beginning seemed too slow and the rest of it too fast. It took me awhile to figure out why, and I realized it's because I never really cared about most of the characters. Too many of them are lazy stereotypes--e.g. Kaboomerang, an Australian who eats Vegemite and says "mate" a lot and and throws boomerangs (exploding boomerangs, but still).At any rate, this is basically the Alpha Flight of the Invincible universe: mostly C-list characters in D-list stories.

While Robert Kirkman has done an impeccable job of creating heroes and villains in the Invincible Universe, this series didn't seem like much more than an excuse to make more characters. The plot was very rudimentary and not up to Kirkman's normal fare. While some of the creations were interesting, almost none are given enough time to be fleshed out. The art by Ransom Getty and Kris Anka was really good and creative. Overall, there wasn't enough to hook a reader other than tying into the ongoing...

Just an all-around fun book with some great familiar characters from Invincible (Cecil Stedman, Bulletproof, and the Shapesmith stand out) and a whole lot of new ones! Plot-wise, there's not too much going on: the Guardians of the Globe goes recruiting after losing a large number of its members in the pages of Invincible, this time setting its sights on being truly global with small response teams located all around the world; meanwhile the world's villains are also teaming up to... something so...

La verdad, no me gustó.Objetivamente creo que el guion es bastante pobre y me extraña que Kirkman haya escrito algo tan alejado del espíritu tan disruptivo de Invencible. Supongo que delegó mucho en Cereno y bueno, no salió demasiado bien.A nivel gráfico también se nota la falta no solo de coherencia estética, sino de un buen artista que acapare los focos como Ottley o Walker. Puntualmente, con qué nos encontramos al leer este cómic: Para empezar vemos la reestructuración que Cecil realiza en el...

The team of ripped-off heroes are having ripped-off adventures. This time around Kirkman is trying to copy 'Batman, Inc' run by Grant Morrison. And even Morrison's run wasn't the best of his work.

Underwhelming Invincible spin-off which sadly feels the need to continue the old tradition whereby any non-US superhero will be a national stereotype of some sort - hence characters like Yeti, El Chupacabra and Kaboomerang, and a young Parisian whose sidekick is a flying French bulldog. The art is wildly inconsistent, Kirkman only co-writes, and the plot runs through the familiar, depressing 'the heroes scale up and organise, so the villains do too' scenario - if ever there were an incentive for...

I am a fan of Robert Kirkman's Invincible, and this extension of the Invincible universe is good, but not great. The Guardians of the Globe had been established as a JLA pastiche in Invincible, the difference here is Brit and Cecil are literally taking the Guardians global both in scope and membership.Which brings me to my issue with the volume (which has just started volume two in monthly issues)by Kirkman and co-writer Benito Cereno. The new characters are are poorly defined. Cast Iron looked

Mostly recruiting, but still fun.

Guarding the Globe Vol. 1 Under Siege collects issues 1-6 written by Robert Kirkman with art by Ransom Getty and Kris Anka.Guarding the Glibe spins off from Invincible during the Viltrumite War. The Guaedians of the Globe have been decimated with recent team member deaths and two members being sent to another dimension. The team is forced to take on new member to protect Earth while a new threat makes itself known. There are some fun moments in the book with returning favorites and some new char...

Image does a lot of good to great titles in all kinds of genres. But their mainstream super hero titles, with the requisite events and crossovers, doesn't stand up as well to the comparisons with the big two. Guardians of the Globe is a case in point - this attempt for a Justice League/Avengers team suffers from a couple issues - no real standalone heroes to support the team (you've got Bulletproof and Brit, everyone else appears to have basically been created for the title), and no strong rogue...

Invincible spinoff. Not bad. 4 stars.

I couldn't get in to this. The tone is different than the main Invincible book.

Usually when you read the "spin offs" of larger stories in comics, they tend to not hold up as well as the main title. Especially if it is not being written by the same writer. However, I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. I would describe the story as smaller stories with an overall theme of "building the team". For the most part it works. The art is awesome, and the characters still have their "voice" from the original series and it keeps up the pace of invincible, which is no eas...

Very good spin off mini series from the Invincible comics series. Good art and storyline make this a good supplemental read to the main series. Recommended

Love the view on the other not quite superpowered heroes on the team.
