Kirkman has cleverly satirized and commentated on mainstream superheroes. Good, sometimes great, but still waiting for the "wow." Just pretend that I'm just sitting on the couch with you, flapping this book in your face. I loved this! Markus, his family, his friends.everything about this entire world! Loved it all!īut I'm so scared that I'll spoil things if I start going on about it. This one is sooo worth your time! It's exciting, touching, and unexpectedly funny. You know, he moves pretty fast for a skinny white kid!īut the point is, the little turd was right about Invincible. Kid: Would now be a bad time to ask you to Make Me a Sandwich? Me: *snatches Invincible out of his hand* Kid: If I grow a vagina, I'll come back for it. Me: It's a retelling of Rapunzel on the moon. Me: Look, I'm just getting to a really good part in this other book. Kid: Well, you gotta read it! Right now! It's really good! Here!
Me: No, you little shit you stole it from me, remember? So imagine my surprise when later that evening that same kid jumps onto the couch with me, and starts obnoxiously waving Invincible in my face. I've learned over the years that it's easier (on me) to just find something else to read than to try to get my comics back from a teenage boy.Īlso, I guess the neighbors think you "look odd" if you curse and throw your shoe at a kid over comic books.Īpparently, that sort of thing is "frowned upon".Īt any rate, I didn't think I'd see this one for a while. So I was only a few issues into this when my son grabbed it and took off. I saw Robert Kirkman, and I was like, Isn't that The Walking Dead guy?Īnd, yeah, I've read (and liked) TWD, but I'd rather read about capes 'n tights.Īnd everyone knows that indie titles suck when it comes to making superhero comics, right?
The five star rating stands because this was just as much fun the 2nd time around! I was recently gifted with a set of these Invincible Ultimate Collection books, and I gave this volume a reread over the weekend. All 5 stars, because it just doesn't get any better!
