Invincible turns 50

one of my favorite comics (and probably the best superhero comic in the universe), Invincible reached issue #50 this month, not an easy task for essentially an indie comic (it is the best-selling comic at Image, but it's still an indie...). in this issue, Invincible turns on Cecil Stedman, his boss at the Global Defense Agency, when he finds out the GDA are employing murderers that he helped bring (he thought) to justice. it doesn't take long for the disagreement to erupt into a world-spanning battle royale that not only leaves Invincible on the outs with the GDA, but puts his relationship with the Teen Team and love interest Atom Eve in question.
Also in this issue, we get to peep "The Secret Origin of Cecil Stedman", where we get to see the back-story behind the man our hero just fell out with. like the main story, it is written by Invinciboss Robert Kirkman and drawn by series artist Ryan Ottley, but this story is inked by Cliff Rathburn and colored by my main man Kelsey Shannon.
the issue also features a Science Dog backup by Kirkman and Invincible co-creator Cory Walker, with colors by Fco Placencia. the story showcases how smart Science Dog is through the exchange of banter with his enemy, who has come to expect a lot from him.

on a sad note, this will be the last issue colored by Bill Crabtree, who's moving on to pursue other things. his work on Invincible has been nothing short of brilliant, and his choice of colors are always surprising and vibrant.
peace Bill!
