In this issue we finally find out what's going on with all those human bombs we've been hearing so much about. Unfortunately, Mark finds himself a hapless victim of a plot for revenge that was set in motion years ago, of which he has nothing to do with! Mark's life begins to take shape, as climactic events and situations cause him to rethink his regular course of action. Trust us, folks, all bets are off. After this one... everything will be different... in a good way, we promise.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
