It's entertaining enough, about a teenage hero trying to balance his world-saving activities, school, and personal life in the style of Spider-man. Unfortunately, I thought it was simply.fine. And created by Robert Kirkman of Walking Dead fame for Image comics, it had a lot of prestige going for it. It's just fun.įor years, I've been wanting to read this series and was constantly being told that it was one of the best superhero and best indie comics that you should read. The original artist, Cory Walker, leaves after issue 7, and Ryan Ottley comes on board for almost the entirety of rest of the series.
Those of you who have read The Walking Dead will know what I'm talking about.
Plus, Kirkman really knows how to drop those mind blowing cliffhangers. Kirkman's focus is on character driven moments as Mark grows into being a superhero. When he does, it's the typical Spider-Man type story until the story twists on its heels around issue 10. Mark's been waiting for the last few years to get his powers. Invincible's dad is basically the Superman of this world.
Invincible begins as your standard teenage superhero story. I read the original trades and used these compendiums as an excuse to read it again. This is my second time through the series if that gives you any indication of how much I enjoyed it. I would recommend reading this digitally because a physical copy is going to be ridiculously hefty to lug around. It's the first 9 trades plus a couple of odds and ends. But that is only the beginning of Mark's problems."- of cover.If you've never read Invincible, this is a great way to start. The only difference between Mark and everyone else his age is that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and as of late, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. He enjoys hanging out with his friends and sleeping late on Saturdays (at least until the good cartoons come on). He likes girls quite a bit, but doesn't quite understand them. He has a crappy parat time job afters school and on weekends. He's a senior at a normal American high school. "Mark Grayson is just like everyone else his age.
