Invincible

[Invincible]

here on hype (and on many message boards), sometimes users form 'groups', which are largely arbitrary and just for fun (I see you're a member of Lost Souls, which is another one). In this case, Shadaloo is the longest lasting group on Hype, started by the poster E. Bison in early '04 based on the fictional organization from the video game Street Fighter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadaloo
I Just always wonder what your sig was about

[Lazarus440]

yup, there're two different editions of Invincible #1. The original, which is worth $50 and upwards right now (in perfect shape) and the reprint, which has the Larry's Comics stamp, which is worth $15, topswell it looks like that 1.50 i spent on the first ish wasn't that much seeing as people now are spending 50 bucks for it now.

[The Watchman]

I call it good investing :up:

[Lazarus440]

I call it good investing :up: you wouldn't you? :mad:

[The Watchman]

yes :(

[Aging Fangirl]

I don't think so. Back when Nolan first revealed his true nature, he specificly stated that his race's blood was so pure, any offspring they have with other races are almost 100% them anyway (the name of their race is escaping me...) that's why he was able to concieve with the bug people and still have a human looking kid

I had a lot of questions about this. I would think there must've been some sort of genetic adaptaton to allow for what would have to be an accelerated gestation. (Nine months and Andressa would be toast) Come to think of it, with the Viltumite life span as long as it is, Mark's mom's nine months was probably greatly abreviated when compared to the Viltrumite norm.


... don't even want to imagine being preggers for hundreds of years. :eek:


On another related tack, the upcoming covers make me wonder about the fate of this child.

[KingOfDreams]

Hey, has the preview for the Marvel Team-Up featuring Spider-Man and Invincible been posted yet? If not...

http://www.newsarama.com/marvelnew/Nov_previews/nov_2nd.htm

[Anubis]

Man, 27s gonna be good. Tech Jacket!!!!

[Aging Fangirl]

I was flipping through my hardcover again and picked up on a sight gag I'd missed before. In issue 6, when Mark and William take a day trip to Upstate U to check out the campus, William looks around at the female population and wonders aloud why "...none of the high school girls are this hot..". Anybody else notice that every single girl in that panel comes directly from prior Reginald Vel Johnson HS hallway scenes? Heh!

Lots of nifty stuff to be found in re-reading. :)

[Lazarus440]

where can i order Invincible? since i f'ed up my knee i can't get to the store when it comes out and they keep selling out.

[Aging Fangirl]

Try Midtown Comics. (Whoever recommended them to me, thanks!) I needed issue #14 and they had a great selection of back issues at regular price. Shipping wasn't cheap, though it might not be too bad with multiple issues.

[Elijya]

don't you have a subsciption folder at your local store?

[Lazarus440]

don't you have a subsciption folder at your local store?no, because i had wendsays off and i could get there when i they came in.

[Lazarus440]

thanks i just ordered 26.

[Elijya]

no, because i had wendsays off and i could get there when i they came in.
would be a good idea though, for weeks when you may not be able to get their. also, most stores offer some sort of discount or other benefit to their subscribers you may want to look into. Mine offers 10% off all comics and new tradepaperbacks, plus 10% off anything ordered from previews, and 20% off supplies. But stores differ

well the only reason i don't (or didn't) get one was i would be between jobs and so i couldn't pay for the comics.

[Lazarus440]

well 26 came to day, now i can't wait for 27.

[The Watchman]

Kirkman really needs to be put on a main Spider-man title, or DC universe hero book...

[Invincible]

Kirkman really needs to be put on a main Spider-man title, or DC universe hero book...
I would love to see him working on amazing spider-man

[Elijya]

Lazarus, you know a mod's gonna jump on you for that sig the moment they see it, right?

[Lazarus440]

i take it that its late? because when i talked to the lady at the shop today she said that 27 would becomeing out this week but when i checked image.com they had 29 as the newest ish.

so i hope its just late and i haven't missed the past 3 ish.

[Lazarus440]

well i got 27, and again it was great.

so what did every one think of it?

[The Watchman]

amazing, I love how the comics feel more like an experience than just a comic, it's one of the best monthly buys witht he awesome letters page, back-ups, and extra art. I love Kirkman for continuing to write this book.

[Lazarus440]

even if the ish sucks (witch they haven't) the letter page makes up for it. this is what it must have been like back when stan lee was writting comics.

[The Watchman]

More people need to be buying this, it's the best superhero book out right now.

[Anubis]

I gotta wait until Monday. Tuesday probally because of the holliday. :(

[The Watchman]

It's really just a character development issue, works on sooo many levels though, next issue is going to be huge.

[Lazarus440]

I gotta wait until Monday. Tuesday probally because of the holliday. :(
why where do you live?

[Elijya]

good issue, great to see Brit and Tech Jacket again

[Anubis]

why where do you live?


Chicago, and yeah I know there are plenty of comic shops I could go to, but I'd rather order my stuff online. And UPS sucks.

[Lazarus440]

Chicago, and yeah I know there are plenty of comic shops I could go to, but I'd rather order my stuff online. And UPS sucks.
why would there be an extra day if the holiday is after the due date?

[Invincible]

I went to my shop to pick up Issue 27 today but they were sold out :(

[Anubis]

why would there be an extra day if the holiday is after the due date?


Well, it begs the question, does UPS ship on Thanksgiving? Were my comics still on a plane, or a truck? Or did it just sit in the hub because nobody was there to sort it, and send it to it's destination? I figure I might get it on Tuesday, but, I've been wrong before.

[Invincible]

http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/?column=19

[Anubis]

Yep, I got it on Tuesday. Good ish. But next one should be pretty sweet. The kids probally gonna end up looking older than Mark by the time his aging slows. If it slows that is.

[Elijya]

nice cover

I was wondering when they were gonna get that love triangle going

[deathshead2]

Well sorry to be late to the party but I haven't read invincible yet only looked through vol 5. So I was wondering I have heard many of good things about the book so is this book in mid story arc and when will this story arc end so I can jump on the invincible bandwagon.

[Anubis]

That Walking Dead dust jacket cover is going on my desktop right now. (Sorry She-hulk :( )

[Invincible]

That Walking Dead dust jacket cover is going on my desktop right now. (Sorry She-hulk :( )
LOL the Invincible HC vol 2 cover is on my desktop

[Elijya]

[Invincible]

no clue

[Invincible]

http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/?column=19

[Elijya]

hehe

last time somebody did that (afik) they got fired

[Anubis]

hehe. funny.

[Da Docta]

Wow, I can't seem to find Issue 1 anywhere. Anyone know where I can get it?

[Elijya]

ebay. For like $50. Or you can get the second printing for $10-15

[Elijya]

whoa, Lazarus got banned.....

[The Watchman]

Wow, I can't seem to find Issue 1 anywhere. Anyone know where I can get it?
you could come to my house and touch it, but I'll make you wear gloves and then give me handy...

[Elijya]

give you handy?

[The Watchman]

hand....er....job.

[Elijya]

oh yes, that sounds so much better....

[Dr Doom]

THIS BOOK GOOD

[The_Mystery]

Can someone update me on the most current issue of Invincible. I missed it and my LCS doesn't have anymore issues.

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

is it me or is the next one late again?

[Invincible]

is it me or is the next one late again?
it's coming out next week
http://www.diamondcomics.com/shipping/expected_020106.txt

[Anubis]

Anybody get Kirkman's contribution to the Pact mini? It's like what? five months late, but it was still pretty good. Funny stuff, especially the public survice announcements at the end.

[Invincible]

I pick it up when it first came out 1-3 and saw the last issue last week but didn't get it because i forgot that i was buying the series

[Anubis]

I almost forgot too. Been so long scince the last issue came out.

[Elijya]

I pick it up when it first came out 1-3 and saw the last issue last week but didn't get it because i forgot that i was buying the series
same. but I didn't forget I was buying the series, I just wasn't sure that I wanted the last issue

maybe I'll go back for it

[Unleashed]

I'm going to buy both of the HC and start collecting with issue #25.

Is it worth it?

[Elijya]

AB-SO-LUTELY :up:

you can get the HC for 30% off here www.dreamlandcomics.com

free shipping too if you just buy one more trade

[Unleashed]

yeah, thats where im ordering them from.

but it says i cant get the free shipping cause the second hc is a pre-order, or they can hold my entire order until the second one comes out

[Elijya]

just order the second HC when it does come out

or make two seperate orders

[Anubis]

So, issue 28 came out Wednesday. And from the end of the issue, You can see that Omni-Man is pissed. WIth only a few minutes those bastards wiped out everybody on that planet. Next issues gonna be intense.

[The Watchman]

...

[The Watchman]

Can't wait to see where this is going, probably my most anticipated read every month, hopefully Kirkman can get this thing back on schedule like he said in his letters column. I'll tell you one thing though, I always feel like I get my money's worth with this title, love the little extras included monthly. :up:

[XwolverineX]

I am thinkin' 'bout jumpin' into this series. Th' only problem is I really don't have that much more to spend.. So I have lot's of decision makin' to do.

[Elijya]

Xwolverine, what're you reading right now?

[XwolverineX]

Infinite Crisis
Batman
Nightwing
Detective comics
Action comics
Superman
Teen Titans
JSA
Fables
Y: The Last Man
Amazing Spiderman
Captain America
Young Avengers
New Avengers
Fantastic four
Astonishing X-men
Wolverine
Cable/ Deadpool
The Incredible Hulk
Ultimate Spiderman
Ultimate X-men
Ultimate FF
The Ultimates 2
Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine
Conan
Spawn

That be all, and I have been lookin' to drop, so I just don't know if I can afford pickin' more up. :(

[The Watchman]

if you decide to , you need to get the trades, don't just jump on, its too damn good.

[Elijya]

agreed. You should get the first hardcover. Yes, get the hardcover! it's actually cheaper than the softcovers that collect the same issues if you buy them from the right source, plus you get a whole ton of extras. Buy from www.dreamlandcomics.com - they offer 30% off all of their trades, and you get FREE shipping on trades if you spend $30


let's see, you've got a pretty good pull list, xwolverine. If you want my suggestions, I say take alook at spawn and all the batman, superman, spider-man, and x-men titles you're buying. Alot of people fall into the trap of buying all those family titles because they really really like the characters, but they don't take a close look to see how truly bad the stories are sometimes. I remember when I was a teenager, I had 100 issue runs of x-men, uncanny x-men, x-man, cable, x-force, x-factor, generation x, and wolverine. Then one day I just realized how much I hated the way those books had been being written for the past few years. I loved the characters, but who cares if they're in bad stories? And I'd just been buying them out of habit. When I realized how much money I'd wasted on these years of stories that I didn't care for in the least, I just dropped all the x-books flat out. Take alook at what you buy, and see if you really like the book itself and not just the lead characters


another good trick: when you get home from the comics shop every time you go, put the books in the order you want to read them. Put the one's you're REALLY looking forward to at the back, so save the best for last, and the books you're not so looking forward to at the front. Read them in this order and DON'T CHEAT! You'll find after a little while of using this technique, you start to actually STRUGGLE to get through the first few books in your pile in order to get to the good ones at the back. This is a big hint that you're probably not enjoying those titles in the front as much as you thought you were, and you should probbaly drop them.

Haha, that sounds cool. I have been thinkin' of droppin' ASM and UXM but I just can't seem to. I think I will Def. drop Spawn. I really don't like it at all. And I guess I will start gettin' Invincible, and I might go only trades like I do for Conan, Fables and Y.

[Elijya]

yeah, I don't understand why people still read spawn. Every time I hear that somebody does, I just say "Why are you still reading spawn?" and they just go "huh, you're right, it does kinda suck, guess I'll drop it" and it's that easy :D

[XwolverineX]

Yeah, it seriously does. I just realized that is is a HUGE waste of my money. I should be gettin' somethin' like Invincible or DD instead. :up:

[Elijya]

lol, see?

[XwolverineX]

lol, see?



I do, I just have to actually think about th' money I am wastin' and then it hits me that I have been buyin' crap. :(:down

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

UXM is being written by robert kirkman and his first two ish. were good. he knows how to build a story and i would ask that people at lest read it if not buy it.

[XwolverineX]

UXM is being written by robert kirkman and his first two ish. were good. he knows how to build a story and i would ask that people at lest read it if not buy it.



I do have both I have it on my pull-list. Sabretooth is Wolverines son, LMAO.

[The Watchman]

UXM is actually awesome right now, Kirkman is the man. Bru and Lark's DD was freakin' amazing too, never thought someone could take up after Bendis and Maleev and actually write something even better.

[The Watchman]

Oh yeah, buy Walking Dead too...

...I just can't stop pimping Kirkman stuff. :(

[Elijya]

I'm a big fan, too, Watchman. I've gone back and got all his obscure stuff from befor ehe was big, too: Capes, Brit, Tech Jacket, Battle Pope, Cloudfall, Tales of the Realm, The Crossovers. All gold :up:

[Assassin]

Elijya said if i dnt buy this, he'll ban me..so i'm a new reader...you'll see more of me here.

[Unleashed]

Elijya said if i dnt buy this, he'll ban me..so i'm a new reader...you'll see more of me here.
Sad thing is, I believe this is something he would do.

[Anubis]

Hell, I even bought a couple of Kirkman's He-Man: Villians issues. All the ones he did were good. Trap Jaw, Beast Man, Murman. I didn't even know he wrote em until I had been going through my miscilanious comics that I had just lying around. I was like, that explains why they were so good, f**king Kirkman wrote em.

[Elijya]

Sad thing is, I believe this is something he would do.
:rolleyes: I said no such thing

[The Watchman]

:rolleyes: I said no such thing
I'll back the "if you don't buy Kirkman" ban policy :up:

[Orko Is King]

I can't wait for my Invincible vol. 2 HC!:up:

[HNutz]

What did you think about his Marvel Knights 2099 and Captain America?

[Elijya]

which cap issues did he write?

I tried ONE of his 2099 books, and it was only so-so

[The Watchman]

29-32, it was pretty damn good, fun stuff.

[Anubis]

His Cap stuff was ok. Good to see Cap get back to the superhero aspect of his character after all that time of polotics and terrorists. (And lets not forget Chuck Austin's Ice arc.)

Didn't really like his 2099 stuff. I thought the Black Panther and Daredevil ones were good though. The Inhumans sucked. and the Punisher and Mutant stuff was just avarage.

[Unleashed]

I can't wait for my Invincible vol. 2 HC!:up:
I just ordered one also

[Assassin]

whens it coming out?

i just bought vol 1 today, im on 4 issues, im hooked..i ****en hate it when eliyja's right...

but thanks bro, this is the best yet

[Elijya]

no prob :up:

wait'll you get to issue 7....

vol 2 comes out soon, you should be able to pre-order it now

[Elijya]

March first, according to Amazon

[Assassin]

Read all of them, i read the last 7 in one sitting, i still have that red rig around my ass :p

Great Book


I lik eall the Nods to other books, The JLA, Iron Man, Jarvis, The kid with the red son T shirt and the Superman Curl, Gotham and batman, Watchmen (hurm lol)

That was awsome, and they made the WW rip off a lezy!

[Elijya]

heh, yeah, I appreciated the WW lezzie thing

don't worry, you haven't seen the last of all those JLA characters, or at least their mantles. You already saw Immortal come back

[Assassin]

who is immortal a knock off of?

[Assassin]

sad to say that Aquamarine is cooler than Aquaman

[Elijya]

He's also a Superman analogue, just like Omni-Man. at least as far as the basic power set of strength and flight. Immortal has a very different origin, though, at least so far as we've seen. His origin has more in common with Uncle Sam.

[Elijya]

sad to say that Aquamarine is cooler than Aquaman
oh, dude, that was the coolest idea ever :up:

Dave Johnson came up with that design

I also love how in his sequence, he's just sitting there, bored, until he gets an alert call, then he's as giddy as a kid at a toy store :D

[Assassin]

which makes more sence than aquaman lifting a city block

[Elijya]

heh, the whole Aquaman-lifted-a-city-block thing reminds me of that scene from Mystery Men :D

"Roy, you once lifted a city bus!"
"Um, actually, it was a car"
"But still, that's damn impressive!"
"and it was so much lifting, as, um... pushing"

[Anubis]

I swear, nobody gives aquaman any respect..:(

[Elijya]

"If Rodney Dangerfield made Super Friend jokes: I tell ya, I tell ya, this guy, Aquaman, he gets no respect. He gets captured so often, he started paying supervillains rent. I said he has to PAY SUPERVILLAINS RENT! Oh, I tell ya, he gets captured so often, the villains keep cans of tuna on hand so he'll always have a cellmate. "

[Anubis]

lol :D

[The Watchman]

haha, Abe Lincoln:up:

[The Watchman]

Everyone go here for some Kirkman goodness :up:...

http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/?column=19

...I loves him :(

[Unleashed]

I loveded you!!! -G.I.R.

I wonder what the new series is.

[Elijya]

DAMN! That looks like a rough fight

[Elijya]

wonder what that new title is? the cover art is Phil Hester, but he's been doing covers lately without doing interiors. He's an incredible writer, if he is in charge of it, whatever it is will be good

[Assassin]

i just rememberd i have the free comic book day invincible..it starts right after Vol 1 ends

[Elijya]

do you mean the 25 cent edition?

[Assassin]

no, free comic book day!

its all image comics into 1 comic, only 5 pages of invincibl ein it, its also gonna be in the vol 2 hardcover

[Elijya]

oh yes, now I recall. That's where he fights Furnace the first time

hope they include the original Furnace sketch in vol 2 :up:

[Anubis]

I think I missed that issue.

[Assassin]

what you like invincible? i thought i had bad taste...

[Unleashed]

you do, this is your only saving grace

[Anubis]

Lets face it Assassin, when you eat nothing but s**t, you're bound to run into some corn every now and again.

[Assassin]

says the guy who reads only marvel

[Unleashed]

Anubis reads only marvel?

[Assassin]

Lets face it Assassin, when you eat nothing but s**t, you're bound to run into some corn every now and again.

huh?:confused:

[Assassin]

Anubis reads only marvel?

i was talking about you

[Unleashed]

Uh, okay :confused:

[Assassin]

exactly

[Unleashed]

I don't know where you got that from

[Assassin]

me either, want a beer?

[Anubis]

I don't know why it took so long to get to this, but good God did anybody get issue 29? I mean, man. :eek:

[Elijya]

haven't read it yet, think I'll pick it up now....

[Elijya]

yeah. ok. wow.


that was alot of blood....


loved that two page splash shot

[yenaled]

Anyone help me out.

The ultimate collection volume 2? Does it just collect stuff in the trades 4 and 5? and nothing else?

Wondering if it is worth it.

[Elijya]

it should be softcover 4, 5, and 6, so collecting up to issue 25 or 26

[yenaled]

That's what I thought but softcover 6 is issues 25-30.

But all the desriptions I've read for the ultimate collection go up to 24.

I just thought it was an error as the first HC collected 3 trades.

[Elijya]

yeah, but the first three trades only had 4 or 5 issues appeice, not 6 like most

the softcovers may have switched to the 6 issue formats now, I dunno

[yenaled]

Ah that's a good point, I'll still get it anyway. The oversized books look nice on my shelf.

[Assassin]

where did it go?

[Elijya]

the search function cuts off a few weeks ago (the system was wonky and Mirko couldn't fix it)

So if it was last posted in before then, it won't show up on search.

I'll try looking for it manually, shouldn't be too hard

[Elijya]

here it is

[Assassin]

i searched all 4 pages and couldnt find it

[Anubis]

So, they're finally getting to the MTU crossover thing. Should be good. We haven't really had much to talk about for awhile now.

[Assassin]

i just read vol 4 and 5, i gave up on waiting for the 2nd hardcover.

now i have to get issues 24-27

(i have #28-32

[Anubis]

Enjoying it?

[Assassin]

hellz yea, i read the hardcover in 2 days and Vol 4 and 5 in a day

[Dr.Doom]

anyone have the new pic of invincible in midair with two bad guys around him.

its really dark and awesome

[Elijya]

i searched all 4 pages and couldnt find it
it hadn't been posted in since March, it was on page 8.

I knew it had a couple hundred responses, so I went to the "from the" window and the bottom and selected "begining", then I organized the threads in the order of number of posts, and it popped up to the front page

[Elijya]

have you all seen the upcoming Invincible statue?

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MAC10019&mode=retail&picture=out

[Dr.Doom]

yeah, it was on the back of the newest issue.

have you seen the pic im talking about?

[Elijya]

no, not sure what you're talking about

[Dr.Doom]

i think its from a new issue, its a really badass picture of him floating in the sky with his teeth gritted. there are two villians floating around him.

[Anubis]

Invincible #33

"I thought you were...I thought...I thought you were stronger. Oh, God...."

[Elijya]

"Wait, so you dress like a bat and you call yourself...? I dunno, it just seems kind of lazy"

:D

[Anubis]

Lol :D

Mark's Mother to his little brother "You're okay..it's going to be okay."

Angstrom Levy "I can't belive you'd lie to him like that. What kind of Mother are you? How could you tell him that? You don't know that for sure. You're in shock aren't you?"

[The Watchman]

amazing issue :up: haha, so many good quotes.

[Orko Is King]

Anyone know when the vol. 2 HC is out?

[Anubis]

It's supposed to come out Wednesday, or maybe Thursday depending on the holiday.

[Roy Harper]

I ****ing love Invincible, case closed.

yeah you never see superman pound a guys face in like that and end up looking like he just sept out of a steven king book.

[Elijya]

bump

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

dont do that, you made me think i missed the new ish.

[Sentry2005]

I want the new issue now :( Invincible is probably my favourate book, altho it ties with Runaways, Daredevil and Young Avengers

[Elijya]

I'm desperate for a Guardians of the Globe mini, just so we can get more Kirky goodness every month

[Sentry2005]

I'm desperate for a Guardians of the Globe mini, just so we can get more Kirky goodness every month

That would be awesome.... i was trying to think of something to say as a negative, but I can't. It would just be awesome. Anything with more of the Immortal is fine with me :)

[Elijya]

what issue of Invincible has that big fight that includes Brit and Tech Jacket? I could have sworn it was #25, but I just reread that and that wasn't it

[Sentry2005]

Issue 27 dude. You probably found out in the mean itme, but it's 27, cos mark is off planet for the fight :)

[Elijya]

ah, danke!

[Sentry2005]

ah, danke!

np monsieur

[Sentry2005]

Any one else find the latest issue slightly... underwhelming? :(:down

[Anubis]

Yeah, it was kinda flat. But I did like the revelation about Robot.

[Sentry2005]

Yeah, it was kinda flat. But I did like the revelation about Robot.

Yeah, that was quite cool. I didn't like the resolve of Atom Eve's love for Invincible.

[Anubis]

I don't know. It's yet to really be resolved. Up to this point Mark was clueless about how she felt about him. Now he knows, and it's gonna amp up the love triangle thing they got going on.

[The Watchman]

I don't know. It's yet to really be resolved. Up to this point Mark was clueless about how she felt about him. Now he knows, and it's gonna amp up the love triangle thing they got going on.

I loved everything about the issue, especially Robot. Well played Mr. Kirkman, I'm ready for our mansex.:up:

[MyPokerShirt]

the reason i wouldn't get the marvel ones? too many. But just 2 for invincible? Not enough! wow. Go kirkman, you complete marvel zombie you *mwah*

As to the robot stuff - if there was a bigger Robot waiting then why destroy OUR one :( It was a plot device. Kirkman just wanted to kill a character damnit. Ah well, there's a little Bendis in us all, it seems

[Spideywebs]

Just bought the first 5 issues off ebay for $46 (Issue 0 was added too.) This really continues to be a great book, so I decided to collect the full run in comics (Have trades up to issue 18).

[Elijya]

wow, those couldn't have been first printings, spidey

[Spideywebs]

Well, they were advertised as such. So if they aren't, I will be getting my moolah back.
Here's the link.

Good deal?

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

i have a love hate thing with this thread. you see i never know when a new one is out so when i see this thread pop up i fear that i missed the newest ish.

[Elijya]

wow, great deal, I have no idea how you got them so cheap

[Spideywebs]

I was happy to get the first 5 for that price, but now I still need to get 6-18. This is definitiely one of my favorite books. I am glad that it is still relatively new. Now all they need is an action figure.

i have those two.


also what did every one think of 35.

[Anubis]

Nice ish. Really wanna see what he's gonna do with all this new found info on the Viltrimites. I mean, how's he gonna catch one of those high jumpin' midget bastards?

[Spideywebs]

35 was great. I have enjoyed almost every issue. Anyone know where I can get 6-19 for a good price? Most online stores don't have most of these issues.

[PWN3R]

Yeah I liked 35 alot. I am on the side of Mark hooking up with Eve and it was nice to see that he kinda had feelings for her.

Yeah, I'm looking for back issues as well, so if anyone has any good finds post them, or PM me.

[Spideywebs]

I can't fine issue 6 anywhere :ninja: Elijya, do you know of any good places I can get these books? :wow:

[drastic_quench]

Threadmark. I love this comic. I've read it in trades and I'm buying it in hardcovers.

I did grab issue #4 the other day at my shop hidden in the $1 bin!

[PWN3R]

They didn't notice when you bought it?:confused:

Lucky.

Snakes. Why is it always snakes...

[seriously, is it really worth that much though?]

[Spideywebs]

I just picked up 6 and 7 signed by Kirkman for $20. Just 12 more to go :wow: Anyone pick up the statue or t-shirt?

what t-shirt?

[Spideywebs]

There was an Invincible t-shirt that came out on wednesday. Lately I have been an Invincible maniac and have been buying many related items. I bought the statue, Issues 1-7, and 5,6,7 of the trades to complete that collection as well.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Yeah that's pretty cool. It was posted over at the 'rama a few weeks back. I think the regular hard covers are good enough for me.

Wow. Thats something else.

There the t-shirt is if you want it. There is a large there too.

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

oh, that mother****er..... :mad:
you know you will get it.

[Harlekin]

Oy, I just got done with vol. 3 of Invincible, and I'm still loving it. I know the series is on vol. 7 by now, tradewise, and I'm just wondering if the title goes bad or not around a certain point.

[Elijya]

nope, consistently entertianing

I would recommend you switch over to the hardcovers now though, since they're a better bargain. Vol 1-3 is HC vol 1, so you can just get HC vol 2

[Harlekin]

Yeah, I was thinking about that as well. It's too bad that by the time the first HC came out I already had the first trade.

Thanks Eli.

[hulkamania85]

I skimmed through a few trades at a friend's house. This seems like a fun book. Atom Eve's power is pretty awesome.

[PrinceMyshkin]

Invincible is about the only way I will read a new superhero comic now. If they aren't characters I haven't grown up with and therefor will always love, I don't have the patience to get through the tedious storylines and powers and costumes. Invincible is almost the perfect anti-superhero comic, with a character that embraces his new role but lives in a world with very real consequences. Read the last arch to see how different he is from say "Superman" or "Spider-man". His world is more real somehow, just as long as dead characters never resurface, I'll be fine. Plus, I love the idea of a world of superheroes within one book. It would be terrible if there was a ROBOT comic or and ATOM EVE book at some point. At that point, the Invincible story would lose some of its footing.

[Spideywebs]

Finally got all issues of Invincible :D

[Barrett]

just got through volume four. i gotta say this is one of the better comics out there. it gets across a good epic storyline without taking itself too seriously. anyone else a fan?

[Harlekin]

Yep. I'm up to volume four as well. I'm pretty sure there's already a thread for Invincible somewhere in these parts. You should look around for it.

[Barrett]

didn't find it anywhere

[Barrett]

so when do you think we'll see omni man again. coming back to take over the planet or coming back ashamed over what he did

[XwolverineX]

I've read the first hardcover, and I loved it. Top quality. I need to get the second hardcover, amd go from there.

[Elijya]

so when do you think we'll see omni man again. coming back to take over the planet or coming back ashamed over what he did
we already have seen him again in the on-going

[PWN3R]

Yeah he was back just a few issues ago. He told Mark to read his books. Apparently his books reveal how to hurt the Viltrumites.

[Barrett]

well ****...... i gotta get reading then. i'm on volume five now. can't seem to find 6 anywhere

[Elijya]

the hardcovers are the better value

[Barrett]

yeah, but i'm a schtickler for collecting, while it would be nice for my wallet, i wouldn't like to see all those trades, then followed up by the hardcover right next to them.

[Anubis]

yeah, you've already started with the trades, so you might as well keep buying them.

[LouFerignoDemon]

Or you could just buy up to where you can in trades, then collect the individuals.

[Barrett]

i'm pretty sure i'll just stick to the trades, my closest shop is an hours drive away, so that makes it hard to keep up on monthly issues

[The_Mystery]

I hope there will eventually be a big dramatic war between Invincible, Omni-man, the heroes or Earth and the alliance vs. the Viltrumites.

[Elijya]

...I think that scenario is pretty much a given

[Barrett]

just picked up volumes 6, and 7, should be up to date in no time

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Just started reading this withing the last two weeks, OMG! Thanks again Peck :up: You rock just like this comic :up:

I heard that a movie studio bought the right to Invincible, is that true?

[CConn]

Yeah. And Robert Kirkman will be/is writing the script.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Hmmm any news about when it will be released?

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

Hmmm any news about when it will be released? nothing about the movie.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Damn

[CConn]

I'm not looking forward to it all that much, myself. To me, the best things about Invincible is it's long, overlapping storylines and its awesome art. Neither of those things can really translate to a live action film.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Does anyone know which movie studio purchased the rights to it?

[deathshead2]

paramout(spelling) I belive.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Agreed, in a couple other threads a few members and myself were talking about live action comic book adaptations and a few of us agreed that CGI would work better for a lot of them.

Keeping it more consistent throughout the movie and not having to mix CGI with live action actors and settings to create the special effect and still have your suspension of disbelief attatched.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

paramout(spelling) I belive.

Oh great, don't they have a reptuation of f-ing up movies?

[deathshead2]

No they have a retuation of just making bad ones. Or imo have for the last few years.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

No they have a retuation of just making bad ones. Or imo have for the last few years.

Yeah, pretty much what I meant. lol, great.

every great comicbook has that, spider-man comics has that[stan lee practically invented that], and it translated well into movies. So does batman,superman,X-men etc.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Yes, but that's also part of his point ( I think) comic book movie adaptaions seem to condense so many story/plot lines into a few movies that a lot it left out,skipped, or changed into something entirely different.

[Eros]

Yes, but that's also part of his point ( I think) comic book movie adaptaions seem to condense so many story/plot lines into a few movies that a lot it left out,skipped, or changed into something entirely different.

thats why its called an adaption. Comic book movies have to adapt and translate a character to the big screen. If you want the whole story and all the details, just read the comic book.:yay:

[deathshead2]

I think an invicible movie could be pretty cool. Just do the first 3 vols can cut out some small details. Sadly I don't think public reaction would be that great. With the whole invincible dad thing.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Yes but I think so far there is a lot done wrong with the. Overall, not all of them but a lot.

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

I think an invicible movie could be pretty cool. Just do the first 3 vols can cut out some small details. Sadly I don't think public reaction would be that great. With the whole invincible dad thing. it worked for star wars.

i just don't want to see a movie that is under 2 hours, now you don't need to throw in every one that has been in the comics and the kitchen sink in, but i do think that the first three vol. would work well as the first movie.

[Elijya]

Just started reading this withing the last two weeks, OMG! Thanks again Peck :up: You rock just like this comic :up:

I heard that a movie studio bought the right to Invincible, is that true?
an adaptation is in developement, but keep in mind virtually EVERY comic is in some stage of developement. The line from Jay and Silent Bob is true: after X-Men hit, movie studios began buying up the rights to virtually every comic property out there. But that doesn't mean we're guaranteed to ever actually see something come of all of them. Sometimes they buy the rights and never do anything with it. Sometimes they'll get a script working, but it either sucks or whoever is in charge loses interest or doesn't think it will work, and it gets left by the wayside.

I want to say I've heard something like 10,000 screenplays are developed in LA every year, and yet only some 400 studio films are released annually

[CConn]

Agreed, in a couple other threads a few members and myself were talking about live action comic book adaptations and a few of us agreed that CGI would work better for a lot of them.

Keeping it more consistent throughout the movie and not having to mix CGI with live action actors and settings to create the special effect and still have your suspension of disbelief attatched.Try this on for size...

Invincible: The Animated Series

That's what I would have them do.
