Invincible remains a fun, fast-paced comic that delivers
everything I want from a superhero comic. But I also have to admit that the
history and continuity are getting daunting. I don’t remember where we left off
with Angstrom, the mad teleporter. Robert Kirkman gives us some background and
helpful dialogue with Dinosaurus and Bulletproof, but man, when the Guardians
show up; a new reader wouldn’t have a chance. There are a lot of folks who pop
up and don’t get name-checked.
That said, I love seeing the Guardians showing up and being
so effective for the bulk of the issue. Did anyone else notice Shapesmith
signing autographs and saving hot ladies in the background of a couple panels?
Nice work, Ryan Ottley!
Speaking of Ottley, seeing the two costumes on the cover
really lets me appreciate both. The “Dark Invincible” suit Mark is wearing is a
great look for his current proactive attitude. But I can’t be alone in thinking
Bulletproof is in trouble during this story, right?
Seriously, everybody dies is looking like a mighty accurate story
title. I’ve got to think this is going to end with Bulletproof dead and
Invincible reclaiming his heroic mantle. At least, that’s what I’d expect in a
normal comic from Marvel of DC. This being a Kirkman book? I’m just looking
forward to the next issue.
Good
