Invincible Appreciation Thread 5 5

[ChrisInBaltimore]

I've been giving this book a lot of love in the Super Hero thread I started. I figured I'd give this thread a bump.

 

I've re-read almost the entire series this week. I think the thing that really strikes me is how unconventional Kirkman is with the plotline in comparison with other books. It never feels like story arcs written for trades, but rather one continuous story. The book is paced and flows so perfectly.

I just picked up the first couple of trades from a boardie. Can't wait to read this series.

I'm smack-dab in the middle of compendium one. I got side-tracked and need to finish it...

My #1 just changed to graded. Hoping to see that "shipped" status soon to see what grade I got!

Me too

 

I bought an Invinci' one, but it's not as high a grade (raw) as I would like. Probably a 9.0 book.

I'm officially in the hunt for my copy. I've emailed a bunch of people letting them know I'me looking. I'm hoping at Baltimore in September I'll get a copy

I've looked numerous times in the past, but never taken the plunge for some reason.

I like it so far, but know it gets even better according to everyone telling me so. I can see how the early issues are laying the foundation for something bigger down the road. I think I need to read some tonight (craving it now).

When you say the middle, what issue?

[ItsJustRyan]

23 or 24 out of 47 in the compendium

Sweet! So you have met Allen

[ItsJustRyan]

If Allen the pink alien dude? If so, yes.

[the authority]

Allen is awesome !

And you don't think it has gotten good? Granted I think it is all uphill till about 80, but by 23 I was really enjoying it. The first 12 issues were slow but the end sort of left me wanting more.

[ItsJustRyan]

It is good. I'm working on the "great" part. I like it, but I like other books more (saga, RR, MM, EoW), but I think by the time I read the series I will have a greater appreciation for it.

[maloney414]

The Viltrumite story you're about to read is pretty good. It introduces Oliver who is a main character.

 

However, in my opinion it slows down after that for awhile. Just stick with it.

 

The series was always good, but it got that "great" feeling later for me. The issues in the 60's and 70's are when Invincible became my favorite book. (I also read the other titles you mention, so we have the same tastes.)

didya finish??

[bryan_robson]

Conquest story line is still the best IMO. And he happens to be my favorite villain of all time as well!
