Invincible

Invincible 66-96

Invincible Returns 1

32 issues in one night.  Robert Kirkman can write some addictive comics.  There were a number of last page cliffhangers that had me immediately reaching for the next trade: 





Things that happened:


The Sequids return.  Mark murders their host, which makes him reconsider his whole “murder is justifiable” stance.  I like the moral debate he goes through.  I’m not saying that Batman should kill everyone in his rogues gallery, but there are certain people who’ve lost their right to live.  Eve learns she’s pregnant and doesn’t tell Mark.  The Viltrumite War, which is pretty bonkers, but not as insane as the Conquest fight. 



Yeah, they blew through the planet.

Mark returns to Earth.  Eve got an abortion.  Dinosaurus completely destroys Las Vegas. 



Reduced to glass.  So cool.


Mark tries to find an alternative to punching his way to a better world, and starts working with Dinosaurus. 


Insane visual with the snapping teeth.


Allen almost kills off the entire human population with a virus in an attempt to eradicate the remaining Viltrumites.  Mark’s incapacitated for a while, and Bulletproof puts on the Invincible costume. 


Kirkman loooves his callbacks.

53 issues ago.

Fourth reference to the Burger Mart cult!


Rex Robot and Monster Girl spend a very long time on an alien world.  


Plus, you know, a ton of other stuff.
