Invincible

[JackBauer]

First of all, Hercules and Mighty Avengers is effin' awesome and secondly, i'm not reading those either.


*****ebag.

You mean Hercules and Mighty Avengers ARE awesome. That's right, I'm going for the grammar attack.

Doodoohead.

Nobody likes a Grammar Nazi.

Only *****ebags care about being popular.

Your penmanship is atrocious and you dress in the manner of a male prostitute.

 

[Anubis]

And the unpopular don't get laid until they're 35.

You....You...human paraquat!

 

[JackBauer]

And the unpopular don't get laid until they're 35.

You....You...human paraquat!

Then I guess I am popular after all!!

Not that I care or anything.

You... Robert Kirkman!!

 

[Anubis]

Your bag of *****e is showing.

You Rob Liefeld Oh yes, I went there.

 

[JackBauer]

Wow... I've been called many things. Handsome, sexy, *****ebag... But that... Really hurts.

So now I have to go for the trifecta of lameness: you Chuck Austen, Jeph Loeb, RECENT-YEARS-FRANK MILLER!!

 

[Anubis]

That's it, i'm reporting you to a mod.


You can't get away with that kinda language......you....you...George W. Bush you!

Go ahead, Nixon, you're the one who said the L word. You are also off-topic.

...........So, how 'bout that last Invincible issue, huh?

 

[Anubis]

......Jerk.

 

[JackBauer]

Doodoohead.

And so, we've come full circle.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

You know, if you people don't want to read it, you could just buy a copy and send it to those of us who can't afford it. I gots no problem with Eve dying. I just wish I had the chance to actually read it.

Ya bunch of privileged *****e bags.

Who said I bought it? Who said I borrowed it from a friend? Who said I went to a comic book store to read it?

 

[TheVileOne]

Are they even going to go anywhere with that subplot of Mark getting money for taking down criminals and Eve setting up a source of income for him?

 

[Andy C.]

Doubt it. They abandoned the whole subplot with Mark accidentally helping what's-his-face take over Machine-Head's mob.

 

[TheVileOne]

I dunno, some of the more recent stories in Invincible are becoming meh.

I'm starting to feel like the series peaked around issue 50.

 

[blksuperman2]

Friends have been telling me for awhile to read Invincible and I never really thought about it. 3 days ago I started w/ issue 1 and have read every comic up to 63.

1. Ryan Ottley's art has really grown on me and now he's one of my favorite artist. Some of his pages are really brillant.

2. This series just feels right. It's predictable at times and often repetitive but I'm enjoying the ride.

I'm hoping Eve isn't really dead. Perhaps she can rearrange her molecules in or to revive or something.... It's a comic right?

That might be rough considering the latest issue.

Doubt it. They abandoned the whole subplot with Mark accidentally helping what's-his-face take over Machine-Head's mob.

They dealt with it in one issue where Titan (who was "what's his face") trying to bust out a Multi-Paul (Dupli-Cate's evil brother) for the Order, who his cartel works with, and Invincible stopping him. Paul busted himself out, Titan was booted from the cartel and Isotope decided to stick with him anyway. That's pretty much it.

I wouldn't go that far. I am looking forward to the Viltrumite War.

Welcome aboard.

Eve may not be dead; Angstom Levy is back, right? I could see Kirkman sticking to it, though. But who knows.

Nah, it was going fine, and the Invincible War was pretty awesome.

This latest development though... UGH!

 

[Andy C.]

I agree. And it's not really even the fact that Eve's dead; it's the fact that she got so unceremoniously fed to the least interesting villain the series has ever had. Just a big, meaty, easy-to-hate 'monster' Viltrumite whose sole purpose is "BWA-HA-HA I LIKE KILLING." The guy's on the same level as Doomsday in terms of existing only as a walking plot device.

I know that Kirkman's saying he's got a reason for doing it, but if it's something as weak as 'to make Mark go over the edge' or the like, I'm really not interested.

 

[Dread]

That's also my problem with it. If, say, Levy had killed Eve, that probably would have worked better. Or some other villain with a more established history with Mark. Conquest so far seems like a "boss" of a level; scary unto himself but in a way just seems to fulfill a plot obligation, to be an obligatory challenge to overcome. Of course I could be wrong; Bane got to break Batman on his first major thing, albeit after a year of subplots, and he went on to be a decent bad guy.

Still, though, Kirkman can vow about it being forever all he wants; he still revived Levy after two years with a very quick explanation. I'm not exactly giving up on Eve yet. That's the thing with creator owned books, they can do or shift however the creator wants. If in 2011 he's found some great way to bring Eve back, he can.

 

[TheVileOne]

That doesn't mean Eve is dead for good really.

Is Levy the electric guy? Honestly I think he's pretty lame and pathetic. I think he's always going to try and be some big shot trying to get revenge on Invincible but always get trounced easily. Or was Levy the brain guy?

Again, its not the type of villain that killed her that bothers me. Just the way it was done. A more significant villain doing it, I don't think it would've made it more readable.

[Andy C.]

Levy's the brain guy, yeah. The electric guy is Powerplex, I think.

 

[Dread]

Angstrom Levy is "the brain guy" who can create portals to other dimensions, the cause of "The Invincible War" in issue #60 as well as schemes before, nearly killing Mark's mom and baby Oliver.

"The electric guy" is not Power-Plex; he's doing another type of energy. "The electric guy" is Kursk, a Russian villain who knows limited villains. He'll be popping up in the next ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN issue.

 

[AlteredEgo]

I started picking up Invincible again recently, having not read it since Mark first met Angstrom Levy, and I gotta say, it's like visiting an old friend. I miss the style and the story-telling a lot and whenever I pick it up, it's pretty much always one of the first comics I read. Even the most recent villain, as one-dimensional as he might be, had me excited.
