Mark goes to the Midnight city obvious references and interesting things ensue. Let's keep on reading.

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.

“Issue #21” starts in Midnight City where a woman is being chased through the dark streets and a dark avenger catches up with her.

At the Pentagon, Robot is meeting with two hospitalized Guardians. After that he goes to see Donald. He talks to her about problems with Monster Girl.

Cecil calls Mark with a problem about Midnight City. It was magically cast in darkness and then forsaken by the government. But now they want to try to reclaim it.

In the alternate dimension, the Mauler twins have finished creating the machines for Angstrom Levy.

In Midnight City, Invincible finds Darkwing and says hi. They fight. Invincible wins and brings him in to the Pentagon.

Okay, another issue where there are just hints about things that are going on. Unfortunately I felt like it was too rushed to get really invested.

If you’re going to introduce a ‘Batman-like’ approximation you need to give more details to get the the reader to appreciate it. Otherwise it’s just pandering.

4 estrellas.

M dio curiosidad conocer un poco más de Darkwing, en este caso del segundo Darkwing, que en este universo vendría siendo el Dick Grayson, quien primero fue el compañero y luego pasí a ser quien portaba la capa, aunque parece ser más una versiónd e Jason Todd o de Damian Wayne, pero bueno, me gustó el concepto de la dimensión de las sombras, ya sé que no, pero me daria curiosidad conocer más de ella.

El final impacta, pero como conozco lo que pasará, pues como que no me sorprende mucho

Invincible #21 – Friends
Mark continues trying to balance his increasingly chaotic life. He faces a series of small conflicts — emotionally with Amber and practically as he continues government-sanctioned superhero work. Meanwhile, Allen the Alien returns to Earth with new intel about the Viltrumites, warning that a major threat still looms. The issue is a blend of relationship drama, subtle worldbuilding, and tension-building. While quieter than recent chapters, it’s a critical breather before the next escalation.

Mark goes to Midnight City. Night boy or whatever he is called, took up Darkwing's mantle and has caused problems.

Obvious allusions to Batman aside. I enjoyed the quip Mark and new Darkwing had with each other. Especially this Shadow/Dark realm wherever there is.

Robot's real body is revealed in this issue!

2.5/5
