Having just read over 3000 pages of a completed series, I'm finally ready to weigh in. I've enjoyed the Invincible run and had I known I'd read it till the end I'd have just bought the Compendium editions. It's fun, it's violent and it has moments that will leave you wanting to find out what happens next. This is sheer, pop-corn munching entertainment. While no one will ever mistake this series for some brilliant new concept or idea, mind you this is no Frank Miller or Grant Morrison or Alan Moore. I appreciate the fact that this was the end story, due to the potential for various spin-offs or just continuing this title forever. The way in which the story ends is also rather interesting and it could be said that it really does around full circle. The characters were believable and grew on you. Invincible was a good idea that kept readers interested by the various plot twists. In fact, in the end notes, Kirkman thought it would get cancelled by Issue #13. Sounds like a premise that wouldn't last long. An entertaining soap opera about a superhero family and the various adventures they go through. Let me tell you considering where it started the end run of the series was pretty interesting.
They did not and that was rather cool.Ĭompendium Three covers the end of the story. I was afraid this cash cow would prove too much of a lure to Kirkman and company to resist making Invincible comics ad infinitum ad nauseam. I appreciate the fact that Kirkman closes the circle and finishes the story. It had a little overlap with Vol 9, covering Issues 99-108, but then it rounded out the story nicely covering all the way to volume 144. But after Nine volumes, I decided to finish the series with this Compendium instead. I had read "Invincible" in the Ultimate Edition format.
