#Invincible compendium two series#

Overall, I'd say things are only getting better, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the third and final compendium to see how the story of Mark Grayson, aka Invincible, comes to an end.ĭidn't cry, but there's still time.

#Invincible compendium two series#

That, and I do still feel that while I've come to love Mark, he's not exactly the most complex character in the world, or even this series (although it has considerably improved). Meaning that almost every A- and B-Lister are always safe in the grand scheme of things, which does take away from the stakes of things a bit. My one big issue with this compendium, I will say– and somewhat with the series as a whole– is that death only seems to really matter if the characters are not close enough to the center of the plot. Mark Grayson's plight and progress as Invincible hasn't gotten any easier, and as allies turn to enemies, and enemies turn to– well, at least rivals, in some cases– the subject of morality gets thrown into question, and then questioned again, and then again, each time with lives, planets, and fates on the line. The decisions made, journeys taken, lives lost (and gained) almost always left me on the edge of my proverbial seat, and caused me to read through the whole damn thing in less than 24 hours. Where the first compendium could at times feel odd and disjointed, with plot points that otherwise went nowhere or were lesser, filler arcs in the way of the grander storyline, the second compendium starts of with a bang and never stops rolling from there. Gotta admit, Invincible is only getting more and more rad. Highly recommended, though obviously you're going to want to read Compendium One first. Whether Robert Kirkman is one of the best writers in comics is arguable, but, with Invincible at least, he's one of the most consistently entertaining. As always, everyone's motivations and emotions feel solid. This volume also sees Invincible becoming almost more of a supporting character as Kirkman shifts the focus to others, like Rex and Monster Girl, for instance.

It's fun to see how seemingly minor characters will be brought back, suddenly of major importance, and you realize how far in advance some stories were planned. Kirkman is a savvy writer who knows what he's doing. This volume is definitely more violent and bloody than the first compendium. Yes, they're massive and expensive and the paper stock is heavy enough that the entire tome takes on sufficient density to warp gravity in its vicinity, but it's undeniably fun to be able to simply read and read and read without having to switch volumes or deal with tape and mylar snugs and backing boards on individual comics issues.
