About this deal

Invincible (Compendium One) is a grounded, vivid, and at times graphically violent young adult’s coming-of-age story that juggles the young hero’s everyday life with superhero duties requiring him to save the world. Overall I'd say I like Invincible. I don't love it, but it is an interesting take on familiar comic book storylines.

Publication history [ edit ] Ryan Ottley, Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker at Lucca Comics & Games 2018. Collects Invincible Presents: Atom Eve #1–2; Invincible Presents: Atom Eve & Rex Splode #1–3, Guarding the Globe (Vol. 1) #1-6, Guarding the Globe (Vol. 2) #1-6, and Invincible Universe #1-12. There were many times I found myself laughing out loud. Kirkman has a very fun way with how he writes. All of his characters were relatable, and there wasn't one issue I read that I didn't like, so kudos to you Rob!! At first, I just thought this was the typical superhero story but as I read I found how different Invincible is from all the other superhero stories I've read. There were many twists and turns I NEVER saw coming, especially in Volume 3! This is definitely a comic I'll be rereading next year, and the year after just because I'll miss the characters if I don't.

[18] El guión de la serie en general es bastante sencillo, incurriendo en todos los clichés de las colecciones de superheroes, pero al mismo tiempo el tratamiento de esos clichés hace de ésta una serie única. Es uno de esos casos en los que puedes elegir qué tipo de lectura quieres hacer, se puede ver como un cómic ligero de fácil digestión o se puede encontrar una mayor complejidad argumental según se van sucediendo las tramas y las relaciones entre los personajes.

Invincible Compendium Volume 1 By Robert Kirkman | New

Invincible begins as your standard teenage superhero story. Invincible's dad is basically the Superman of this world. Mark's been waiting for the last few years to get his powers. When he does, it's the typical Spider-Man type story until the story twists on its heels around issue 10. Kirkman's focus is on character driven moments as Mark grows into being a superhero. That's what makes this series. Plus, Kirkman really knows how to drop those mind blowing cliffhangers. Those of you who have read The Walking Dead will know what I'm talking about. D.A. Sinclair: A young and reclusive scientist at Upstate University, is the creator of the "Reanimen", who is hired by Cecil to build Reanimen out of the corpses of extra-dimensional Invincibles. Oliver Grayson: Mark's alien half-brother. The result of a relationship between Nolan and a member of an alien race called the Thraxans, who have short life spans, growing at a rapidly increased rate compared to humans, though his father's DNA is slowing his aging over time. Although his mother is an insect-like humanoid, he resembles a Viltrumite/human with purple skin (later fades to pink). His mother tells his brother to take him to Earth, so that he can have a life with the people there, because their lifespan is longer than her people's, and he gets adopted by Debbie. He first takes the sobriquet of Kid Omni-Man and then Young Omni-Man as he attempts to rehabilitate the memory of Omni-Man in the general public. George Gene Gustines (July 14, 2008).

If you've never read Invincible, this is a great way to start. It's the first 9 trades plus a couple of odds and ends. I would recommend reading this digitally because a physical copy is going to be ridiculously hefty to lug around. This is my second time through the series if that gives you any indication of how much I enjoyed it. I read the original trades and used these compendiums as an excuse to read it again.Of course, there are also plenty of times where Kirkman's writing is emotional, rich, and wildly creative. But then there are times where it feels rote, like Kirkman's going through the motions a superhero story is supposed to go through, but without the excitement or conviction to make it all that memorable. There are exceptions, obviously, but for the most part, these nine volumes do a lot of narrative worldbuilding and significantly less character development. I certainly care about the cast Kirkman's put together, but not as much as I should (or want to), especially after spending this much time with them. Also, it's worth noting that some of the vocabulary used has aged very poorly, with characters sometimes dropping a casual slur that was relatively commonplace in the early 2000s but is rightfully off-putting today.
