After this one... everything will be different... in a good way, we promise.

About the author

Robert Kirkman is an American comic book writer best known for his work on The Walking Dead, Invincible for Image Comics, as well as Ultimate X-Men and Marvel Zombies for Marvel Comics. He has also collaborated with Image Comics co-founder Todd McFarlane on the series Haunt. He is one of the five partners of Image Comics, and the only one of the five who was not one of the original co-founders of that publisher.

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.

Still just circling the barrel of okie doakie. It's too simple and competent to be bad, but doesn't really offer a whole lot else. No big commentary or massive revelations. Granted, there was a bit of a twist here- but it wasn't anything to write home about.

Just a big ole bucket of fine.

The humor is so dry! It is hilarious

So let's talk about the art, it's simple and I like it, it also helps that the animated adaptation also kept the similar style aesthetics.

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.

Things are definitely picking up.

Buuuuut then there's Mark throwing his bomb-strapped teacher off into the air to explode and he's seemingly totally unphased, other than being upset that said teacher called a girl who wasn't his girlfriend, his girlfriend. Oh noooo. It's really starting to bug me that there's so much focus on the plot and our main character has almost no personality or reaction to any of the things happening around him.

Also, Hiles was their physics teacher but was teaching the class about Mayan fables? Uh.

“Issue #4” starts with Robot in the Mauler’s hideout realizing that the stolen video game processors were powerful enough to power their gadgets indefinitely.

Invincible shows up looking for Eve. He tells Robot that kids from his school are being used as bombs.

Mark and Eve, talking in class are called out by the teacher as ‘Lovebirds’. The whole class laughs.

Well, I’ve decided. I really don’t like this artwork. I thought the art in Nightwing was really bland. This is worse. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it’s too bad.

Of course, later they find out the same teacher is the one blowing up the kids. They catch him later.

But Mark’s dad comes home that night.

This was a cute story. A little too jokey to me, but okay. 2 stars

3 estrellas, casi 4.

En lo personal una trama un tanto rebuscada, siento que se salió un poquito de la historia, aunque sirve para que Mark tenga poco más de experiencia viviendo y acoplandose al tema de los super heroes.

Good issue.

Not sure what to rate it, will just give it a 4/5 like the others.

[Stephanie]

I don't believe this one was in season 1? But maybe I am just remembering incorrectly. Loved the mystery!

[Nikhil Math]

I liked this issue.

Menu for dinner:
• Being enslaved for a long time ago in an alternate dimension
• Finding out that your teacher became Bomberman

Getting better and better. I liked it, and I am really enjoying the characters.
I only wish they were longer chapters:)

Invincible #4 – Growing Pains
Mark continues fighting small-time villains while trying to maintain a normal high school life. The balance starts to strain, and we get a closer look at his emotional stress. This issue begins showing that being a superhero isn’t just fun and flashy — it’s exhausting, morally confusing, and increasingly isolating.
