What I know about Invincible before reading: It’s by Robert Kirkman who also wrote The Walking Dead (which I love). And I thought it was canceled…apparently not. Right?
Thoughts after reading the first issue: It’s about a family with a normal mom, a superhero dad and a nice kid in high school who is coming into his super powers. He gets his superhero suit and calls himself Invincible.
It didn’t seem all that awe inspiring. At this point I’m not sure why my husband and his buddies are all “Invincible is awesome. You’re going to love it!” I’m guessing all that comes after the first issue.
If I were to have bought this in an issue I probably would have stopped there. The art is kind of plain and the story, while nice, just isn’t epic or deeply gripping. But since I have the whole volume…
Thoughts after reading the entire first volume: Wow. That was not at all what I was expecting. After reading a few of the complied issues I thought this was going to be a sort of slice of life super hero story because it just seemed so…normal. But it’s not. It’s very thought provoking and leaves you completely stunned. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next volume.
I really hate what happens in the story and because of that it makes me love it so much more.
