It really is a relaxed and fun read!
Solid read with nice spins on standard teenage superhero tropes. I’m continuing to love the realistic feel of all the characters. For those who haven’t read this, there is a HUGE plot twist here which turns everything you thought you knew on its head, and what is even better about it is that it’s so unexpected.
four stars! ❀ man, reading this makes me wanna rewatch the show. i’m pleasantly surprised that the show has followed so closely to the comics, and i’m really excited to continue on with this series!
Fun little nod to DC and a sign of things to come.World: The art is solid, pretty much the same as the last arc, I like how grounded the art is for this book. The world building here was pretty fun, a nod to the Justice League and all the characters there (that’s Barda more than Wonder Woman which I like that nod). The pieces of Mark’s works is coming into place and the quirky additions that Kirkman makes to the superhero world are making me giggle. Story: The heavy stuff is a sign of things to
Re-read!: OH I FORGOT ABOUT ALLEN THE ALIEN'S FIRST APPEARANCE. He's my second favorite character after Mark! Ohhh, I missed ya red little alien. Original Review:**Warning: this text may contain spoilers** 4 Stars!I liked this volume so much more than the first one and I really enjoyed Family Matters. I wasn't expecting to read this volume so soon after volume 1, but I started reading the first couple of pages and then I couldn't stop. This is a great sequel and things are starting to get dark a...
Okay, it's catching.
Re-reading this years later gets me so excited for volume 3. Volume 2 is like the calm before the storm. So we get a little bit more of Mark's life. How he's balancing being a teenager who just got his powers and his school life, and maybe even some of his love life? Yeah buddy, this is a coming of age story with lots of cool powers and fucked up twist. So if you haven't picked up on that yet you probably should. The big moment in here is the "Justice League" wannabe team gets slaughtered. No b
Here it starts to take a turn. If you've managed to avoid any spoilers about this title up to this point, you're in for a treat. I implore you, don't do as I did and flip through the book ahead of time. Sit down, start at page one, and content yourself with flipping through panel by panel with no idea of how your life is about to change. Volume 1 set the stage. It created a world with these characters and began establishing rules and relationships. This volume changes everything. The first major...
Amazing! Audacious! This series built on a charming first volume into a sensation second.I guess "Walking Dead" guy can write a decent superhero title, too, eh?
Teen superhero Mark Grayson/Invincible is called upon to protect the Earth from an aggressive alien - but what does it really want? Elsewhere something terrible happens to the Guardians of the Globe. But that’s not all - Mark’s gotta look at prospective colleges to go to while helping his friend Eve through a personal upset. Gee whizz it sure ain’t easy being a superhero! ... zzz… Two volumes into Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker’s Invincible series and I’m not seeing how it’s had nearly the same
Unfortunately the second volume continues in much the same vein as the first. Everything here is an clear rip-off of established conventions, but Kirkman doesn't even attempt to use this for any kind of commentary, they are simply there for the reader to spot and for the occasional funny line. Throw in some random teen drama and a little bit of budding romance and your about done.There are a few entertaining scenes (I loved super-powered catch with dad), and the beginnings of what could be a ver...
More of the same as the last collection, as Kirkman expands the story and the world and delves more into Mark's (aka Invincible's) life. Some parts are somewhat compelling, such as the Guardians of the Globe and Teen Team storylines, and we even get cameos from other superheroes in the Image Universe -- fun to see Superpatriot and the Savage Dragon -- but artist Cory Walker was taking a lot of shortcuts in this one and obviously burned out (two pages of the same repeated panel of the main charac...
As Mark Grayson gets a better hold on his powers, alongside Eve he is on the track of bombers! He gets to go face to face with an Alien called... Allen! The introduction and fate of this reality's Avengers, the Guardians of the Globe and leader Immortal, is up for grabs! A slight improvement as the superhero as a teen angst drama is lessened to give way to more sci-fi and the stunning twist in #7, that I never saw coming! Savage Dragon guests! 6 out of 12.
I will never tire of the twist in this book. I’m amazed at how funny and serious Robert Kirkman can be simultaneously. Invincible is the best superhero comic you’ve never read.
This is where the series begins to turn. While Mark deals with typical teenage things like picking a college and girl problems, the Justice League analogs, the Guardians of the Globe, are wiped out. It's your first indication that this may be more than your average teenage superhero book. There's also a great issue where Allen the Alien first appears. Ryan Ottley comes on the book part way through and the art gets a whole lot better. He was just supposed to get the book back on track and ends up...
To think that such a comic like this could be so charming at first, give us just a little taste of blood in the middle, and then throw us for a slooooooow loop... I'm honestly rather impressed with the writing, but it is only in retrospect that I'm completely smitten. So far, I've watched the tv show twice and am now just reading the comic. Some major differences/additions to the tv show. But honestly, NOT that much. The core is still the core.Loving it.
What I lIked : So having read what happens in the next volume , I think I am a bit overzealous with my rating ... Sue me !There's just a pure sense of entertainment and fun in this comics , breaking the stereotypical superhero tropes and making fun of it all but also making entertaining adventures and daily live struggles of a teenager plus the obvious growing up story for Mark aka the titular Invincible for the reader to enjoy .Simply said it's fresh , its funny and it's unique and it's o
Ruh-roh, Raggie! They decide to be edgy!I love the first book in the series, but this is a letdown. Why? Deciding the feel-good charm needed undermining certainly doesn't help.The first couple issue are still awesome, and the art compels throughout, but the brutal murders and twist at the 3/4 mark left a sour taste in my mouth. I realize that the brutality was meant to be jarring, but it felt unnecessary. The killings sans gore would have the same effect, but that wouldn't be hardcore enough, wo...
The comic starts using some proper humor in this volume. I'm starting to like Mike's mom Debbie because this time around she has a better presence and puts both her boys in place. Her husband is berated for forgetting Mark's birthday and Mark gets a slap on the wrist for bringing the newly-single-and-grieving Eve to his room. Gee, are they going to date now? Like, no way!Dear old dad isn't sheltering his superpowered son in this one. Mark gets a mission to protect Earth while his father is away....
