   No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) AdioRadley | Jan 21, 2024 |  It was honestly so cool to see how well the show had been adapted from the comics. At the same time though, enough was different that I really enjoyed getting all the extra bits of the story in the comic. This ultimate collection volume contains the first 3 volumes (13 issues) out of the 25 total volumes (144 issues) of the comic run. It seemed like most of the first season of the show was covered in this first ultimate collection volume. I’m excited to have so much more ahead of me in the story! Invincible is the story of teen Mark Grayson as he finally begins to inherit his super powers from his dad— who just so happens to be the most powerful superhero on the planet. “Family Matters” is an insightful title for the first issue, as we see Mark go from average teen with lots of homework, a part time job at Burger Mart, and hanging out with friends to learning what it means to be a super hero. We also get to see the dynamic between him, his super powered dad, and his mom who doesn’t have super powers aside from those types hardworking moms normally do. I don’t want to give too much away, so I will just say that the story has lots of VERY interesting twists and character development. There were parts that made laugh out loud, parts that made me say “that’s so cool,” and parts that just left me too stunned for words.

"Mark Grayson is just like most everyone else his age. He's a senior at a normal American high school. He has a crappy part time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit but quite doesn't understand them. He enjoys hanging out with his friends and sleeping late on Saturdays (at least until the good cartoons come on). The only difference between Mark and everyone else his age is that [h]is father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and as of late, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. But that's only the beginning of Mark's problems"--Jacket. No library descriptions found. |
