Customer Reviews

invincible book 5

You already know why you're here. Because this comic is awesome. Keep on reading; I certainly am.

Contains Invincible #20-24 and #0

Writing by Robert Kirkman and art by Ryan Ottley. If you're considering buying this paperback, it's assumed that you are familiar with the series and have read previous issues (if not you should get those first). Volume 5 contacts Invincible #20-24 and #0. Mark continues to have trouble with the loss of his father and fights several generic villians. There isn't much in these issues regarding the storyline between Mark and his dad, but instead they focus more on Mark's relationship with his girlfriend. Some great writing in these issues.

Incredible

Robert Kirkman's Invincible is one of the best comic book series on the market. Recalling the tone and spirit of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's The Amazing Spider-Man (but definitely in tune with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars generation), Invincible is the tale of a teenage super-hero who's trying to have a normal life and save the universe on a daily basis. This fifth trade paperback is, perhaps, the best in the series thus far. Kirkman's got the magic touch!
