Invincible #2

Invincible (Single Issues)

by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker (Artist)

Mark has come down with a case of insomnia, and while most people would trot down to the living room to watch infomercials, Mark, being a superhero, has a few more entertaining options. During his leisurely evening flight, he spots a robbery in progress at the local Toys R Toys. But why would a villain like the dreaded Ogre want to steal an entire shipment of Game Boxes? And why is the world's premier teenaged super team on hand to help Invincible stop him? And when did that girl in 3rd period science class get so cute? Nothing is what it seems, and everything seems like it's nothing, but one thing's for sure, it's entertaining as all get out!

Robert Kirkman's first comic books were self-published under his own Funk-o-Tron label. Along with childhood friend Tony Moore, Kirkman created Battle Pope which was published in late 2001. Battle Pope ran for over 2 years along with other Funk-o-Tron published books such as InkPunks and Double Take.

In July of 2002, Robert's first work for another company began, with a 4-part SuperPatriot series for Image, along with Battle Pope backup story artist Cory Walker. Robert's creator-owned projects followed shortly thereafter, including Tech Jacket, Invincible and Walking Dead.

Reviews

[Whitney (The Cover Collector)]

I’m guessing this is a parody because Daddy superhero’s origins are hilarious.

[Aldo Haegemans]

Basic, Yet simple and effective. Easy to follow So far

[Vikas]

We learn the origin tale of Omni-man and Mark keets the Teen Team.

I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to the bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

Still solid overall. Felt like a paint by numbers superhero narrative with an unexpectedly grim conclusion. (I expect the tone for the series to follow this formula).
The art is crisp, clean and the flat colors used are of the digital variety, therefore rendering it beautiful.

Ramping up the action after the first issue.

Mark's still just kind of throwing himself into it all. Found myself wondering when the "grades are started to drop; friendships are starting to crumble" is going to start but it doesn't seem like he even has any friends? I dunno, we're just not told anything about Mark and him becoming a superhero doesn't seem to have any consequences in the day to day.

“Issue #2” starts with a flashback of Mark’s father, deciding its finally time to tell him where he is from. The planet Viltrum. Where everyone has super-powers. It was a utopia except for the men all wearing Magnum P.I. staches.

Then, like all utopias do, they decide to go Make Other Planets Great Again.

When they discovered Earth, they decided it wasn’t worth making Great again and left it alone, but Mark’s dad volunteered to go down by himself and guard and guide the planet, even though he might never go back to Viltrum again. Soon son, you’re body may go through changes…

In the present Mark goes out to fly. He runs into someone robbing a toy store. They fight. But are interrupted by a team of superheroes. They meet-cute, take away the Mauler, and say nice to meet you.

Next day at school he recognizes Atom Eve in her civilian identity. They change clothes and go to Teen Team’s base. The team’s leader Robot has a plan for going to Mauler’s base and finding out why he was stealing video game machines.

They get there, hear the evil plan and attack. An easy win for the Team. Invincible is invited to join it.

Again, nothing bad, but nothing extraordinary. Of course, when one character asks “Is it always this easy?” That’s a pretty big red flag!

I am so lonely

All the other Viltrumites are scared of me. Noone talks to me. Noone wants to be my friend-- They think I am unstable. They send me from planet to planet committing atrocities in their name. And as I get better at it, they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own success. Conquest. I don't even get a real name, only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and noone sees it. Some days I feel so alone I could cry, but I don't. I never do. Because what would be the point? Not a single person in the entire universe would care. Take it to your grave.

[Gab Andrade]

4 estrellas.

Un poco rápido a mi parecer.
El dibujo no está siendo muy de mi agrado, tal vez porque me mal acostumbré al arte de la serie animada o el arte que tendrá el comic en unos números en el futuro.

Pero, la historia se mantiene interesante.

[OinkFish Pigs]

9/10

[gxbrielarouca]

ou os maulers foram nerfados ou o mark é mais forte nos quadrinhos slk.

[MaRIZZa de geweldige]

[Luketybw]

Another fairly lackluster read found myself getting pretty bored even over a short issue like this again the show does this so so much better its not even comparable

[Mikey Baker]

Nolan teaches a young Mark about where he’s from. Mark meets the other heroes.

[Dimelo Maldo]

Basic second issued easy to follow.

Invincible #2 – Father & Son
Mark gets his superhero name and costume, and embraces his new identity. Omni-Man, proud and supportive, gives fatherly advice that feels genuine and wholesome. The issue continues developing the tone with light action and relatable teen life, all while subtly planting seeds of unease under the surface of this seemingly perfect superhero family.
