This book starts to deal with the fallout of the shocking twist at the end of the first HC. We do see a fair bit of additional character development. I need to review these soon after reading so I remember what is and isn't in a particular volume.
Now I'm hooked on this series. This is clearly turning into my favorite superhero book. Starting to get attached to character I didn't think I would care about and reading story's other superhero books don't really focus on anymore like alcoholism and even simple things like homework.I think my favorite part of this book is yes it a superhero book, but it's also a book about the everyday life of the superhero. Kirkman nails both in one issue usually. Oddly I'm interested in Mark Grayson's person...
I'm still enjoying this as much as any other comic I've read recently, and certainly a lot more than Kirkman's far more famous title, The Walking Dead. There are, however, similarities: Kirkman does seem to like to have characters doing stupid things or just being generally obtuse. In The Walking Dead it got to be irritating as a literary device, exploring the ordinary pettiness of human nature and the idiocy of daily life with the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse, which I found aggravating and f...
I didn't care much for the first volume, but seeing the fanfare and love for this series from so many others, I decided to try one more time... and I'm so happy I did! It's a nice break from more serious reads, the story and subplots are growing, I've started caring about the characters and I'm really looking forward to seeing where things go!
This was certainly much better than volume 1 of the ultimate collection. I admit I was impatient, but that's maybe because the story moved so fast that I thought the characters development would move to suit. In this volume you get much more character development. Mark not only has to deal with his family losses, but he has to deal with his mothers' grief and a new love. You'd think it would all be too much, but he copes well.I really love the crisp sketching and inking in invincible and the bes...
OKAY SO WHEN IS THIS SERIES SUPPOSE TO WOW ME?????!!!!!! Because the first book was alright. I had problems with Kirkman's pacing and unnecessary dialogue, but the book ended pretty solid. This time around, we have the same bullshit only its getting worse as we go on. The plot is all over the place and the book does not move smoothly. Again and again Kirkman is just messy with his pacing and crams so much in, at times it doesn't make sense. The world and characters he creates are interesting and...
I read the first volume of the Ultimate Collection and then watched the Amazon Prime TV show. At first it was a hard transition - I found the TV show to be too low budget for me (which means too low framerate). But I gave it another chance and after episode 3, I was hooked. Now I am having a hard time differentiating between what happened in the first graphic novel collection and what I saw in the TV show. So far, it seems like the production company took all the good things about Invincible, th...
The second volume of Invincible was as fun as the first. Collecting issues 14-24, it shows the development of Mark as he graduates high school and goes to college.Following the events of the first volume, Mark now works closely with the Pentagon. There is even a super-hero team that exists to fight major threats. No threat is more pressing that the Viltrumite Empire's expansionist policies. As Mark makes an impression throughout the galaxy, news of his actions have reached the Viltrumites.While
Brief Introduction: After reading the first volume of Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker’s classic superhero comic “Invincible,” I just had to read the second volume of this fantastic series and see more of Mark Grayson and his family after the explosive and tragic revealation at the end of the first volume! “Invincible: Ultimate Collection Volume Two” is definitely one volume you do not want to put down! What is the story? After the tragic events in the first volume, Mark Grayson is starting
Volume 2 picks up where volume 1 left off. The larger story starts to take shape here, with delving deeper into the characters and introducing some new. This is a well written series, with good art work.
A great comic. It excited me knowing all the ways the TV series can adapt these stories. Seeing the aftermath of Omniman was great. I also enjoyed Amber more in this version. Allen the Alien's story was an unexpected plus. I know I will devour all 144 issues.
This second volume continues the fun-to-read adventures of Invincible. Unfortunately, it also continues the trend of having exhaustingly huge monologues by characters about the most mundane things that do not further the plot in any way. Check out the conversation between Mark and his mother about her wanting to get a job. Or, the two issues where Amber recaps her relationship with Mark or where he tells his story to her are completely craptastic filler. And don't get me started on the Allen the...
Excellent 2nd collection!This story arc is about growing up and taking on new relationships and responsibilities. There's also all the emotions that come along with the spoilery thing that happened in the last collection. Shock, anger, betrayal, grief...How Mark deals with the fallout from that starts to mold him into a more adult character, and I think Kirkman does a great job showing Mark (and the other characters') growth.It's still fun, uniquely interesting, oddly touching, and humorous look...
When I read the first volume of Invincible back in 2016, I loved it! Yet, it took the awesome new animated series on Amazon Prime Video for me to dive back into the series. In this volume, Mark aka Invincible and his mom are dealing with the fallout from the reveal that Mark's father, Omni-Man, was actually a bad guy who was planning to take over Earth for his alien planet. His disappearance has left a void and Mark is struggling with his grief as he also tries to keep up with his senior year of...
This is a solid collection to help grow Mark up in a mature way. With him finally dating Amber, Mark is trying to balance school, superheroism, and dating. He's not very good at it as he is called on A LOT to save the world because...well he's a superhero. In doing so he has a lot of his relationships straining from his drunk mother, to his girlfriend not trusting him, to his best friend being a dick (Though he always is) to just trying to be a better man. What I did enjoy is the slow burn of hi...
I don't know if it was because I didn't read the first few issues first or what. But I found this story to be very scattered and it seemed to skip around a lot.
Ah, Robert Kirkman, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:1. Invincible;2. Invincible;3. The Walking Dead.Lame, I know. Sorry. But honestly, Robert Kirkman knows how to pack a punch in both Invincible and The Walking Dead. But this isn’t about TWD. That’s all over the place. Let’s talk about my beloved Invincible. As you can see, I’m way behind in this series. I’ve just finished volume 2 which encompasses issues #s14-24 (with a few extras), while the series itself is up to issue #108? I’m no...
Still good. Actullay getting better if anything.
My library doesn't have the others...(grumble grumble) soooooo it looks like I'm going to have to buy the rest. This series is totally worth it anyway :D
This volume features a lot of great stories involving Mark becoming a hero in the wake of the tragedy from volume 1. Everyone who reads this: pay close attention to the characters Robot and Monster Girl. They will become extremely important years / volumes down the road. There is a slow burn in their sub plot storyline. Robot takes some very important steps in his development here. The origin of the villain Angstrom Levy is also told, he will give Mark great challenges later on.
