yeah, that's right! Invincible is probably the best superhero comic on the planet!at least, that's what it says above the title... anyways, this book is the joint! it started out as "What If Superman and Lois had a teenage son who's powers just kicked in?"
now, it's a whole lot more! now it's "What if Superman was your Dad, only he's really evil and has secretly been plotting to take over the world, then he killed the Justice League, beat you to a pulp then left the planet, only to trick you into coming into space and liberating an alien world where he banged a creepy bug chick and gave you that baby brother you always wanted, only he's green and stuff, and now Dad wants your help saving this planet from other members of Dad's race, who really are superpowerful, world-smashing galactic conquerors? and oh yeah, you have a fly girlfriend back home..."
yeah, something like that.
so anyways, it's the bomb! Invincible is a book you MIGHT wanna check out. it's the highest selling Image comic since a little thing called Spawn, whatever that is... start by going to a comic shop or bookstore and copping the first 120 page trade Invincible: Family Matters, or if you REALLY trust me (and why wouldn't you?), cop
Invincible: The Ultimate Collection, Vol. 1 (Hardcover)... which collects the first THIRTEEN issues (that's a lotta readin'...)!
or you can just loiter at Borders, B+N, or where ever they have comfy chairs and read it... (like i do! son is broke!)
holla!
samax.

There's work being done to make a "Marvel Universe" style character guide for Invincible. Lot's of really great artist contributing. They even got Elliot R. Brown! Can you believe that?
that'll be the bomb! Invincible has the coolest cast of knockoff characters! let's face it, superhero names don't get any better than Dupli Kate and Rex Plode...
