Invincible: The Ultimate Collection Volume 6

My 17 year old Son Loves these books we are collecting them all :) it’s hard cover with slip cover.

I have slowly been working my way through the collected volumes. My treat is to buy one on pay day and drag it out for the month. In every volume before the art work and story lines blew me away. It’s like nothing I’ve ever read before! And then I opened Volume 6.... Holy (insert lots of swear words here) ............. I was not prepared for the sheer brilliance and scale of the art work in this! The battle scenes (of which they are many!) are drawn to a standard that blows your mind! They are beautifully grotesque; mesmerising you. I had to shout at myself in my head to slow down and shut the book last night otherwise I would have polished it off easily!! Robert Kirkman, if you’re reading this, I’m completely in awe of this volume. It’s your opus......so far. I have 6 more volumes to go after this. How this can be heated is anyone’s guess! Simply the most perfect graphic novel I have ever read!!

Estupendo comic a gran precio. Ojala los otros tomos estuviesen a un precio tan ajustado. Kirkman es la revelacion sin duda

As someone who has been reading comics since the 1950's, Invincible is a fairly new (started in 2003) addition to the genre, but I can honestly say that this is the best 'new' comic I've come across in years. This collection includes Invincible issues (#60 thru #70) plus Invicible Returns #1. The original creative team - Robert Kirkman (writer), Ryan Ottley (penciler) and Russ Wooten (letterer) - with Cory Walker (penciler, inker), FCO Plascencia (colorist), Cliff Rathburn (inker) and Dave McCaig (colorist), continue to amaze in what they have produced, a superb blend that plays on the established traditions of the superhero genre while bringing in original takes and twists that make it all fresh and new again. The lead-in lines inside of the dust jacket pretty much set the tone for the series: "Girls, acne, homework, super-villains. When you're a teenager, it helps to be INVINCIBLE" ... and while the lines on the back of the dust jacket that set the stage for this sixth volume may seem rather over the top... "This is the volume you've been waiting for! The Invincible War, set in motion by Angstrom Levy! The epic battle with Conquest! The final buildup to the Viltrumite War! The Sequid invasion of Earth! It's all inside and it's almost too much for one superhero to handle. This is probably the most explosive, most action-packed volume of Invincible to date -- don't miss out!" ...the volume truly delivers on this buildup in whirlwind, breath-taking paced action. In this volume, the army of 'evil' Invincibles who Angstrom Levy has recruited from alternate universes is unleashed to wreak havoc on our Invincible's Earth. And there are casualties. And as if that were not enough to contend with, the Viltrumite's latest emissary - a super badass named Conquest - shows up to demand that Invincible get with the program or be destroyed, and the sequid spawn that have been growing in secret make their move to come out to take over. In the meantime, Allen the Alien and Nolan start their preparations for taking the fight to the Viltrumite Empire. Mark/Invincible gets to meet Eve's parents, which is almost as unpleasant an experience as wading through a swarm of sequids. His younger brother Oliver has a growth spurt and gets a new look and a new costume. And a green-skinned scantily-clad sexy alien foe called Universa is introduced. One thing I have to say, the red ink really flows in this volume. Kirkman and Ottley hold nothing back when it comes to the blood and gore that comes with these no holds barred showdowns. Characters do take major damage and they show it in unbelievably gristly detail. And as always, the collection has as an added treat another Sketchbook section at the end with all kinds of artwork and commentary showing the creative process the team went through developing and promoting the comic. Highly, highly recommended for anyone who enjoys quality work in the superhero comic genre.

Invincible is always good no matter what you pick up, But this was something else, the battle with Conquest had me sold before I even read it and it does not disappoint! One of the more intense reads
