It Is unreadable it won't read properly whether down loaded or not which is a shame.

It's a shame the fourth volume isn't available ... but the fifth is fantastic.

Rating is not for the comic, but for the Scribd file here. The file is messed up in some way. I have tried to read it on two different devices but it's completely bugged.

Probably would not have kept reading if I wasn't told something big happens later.

Mark Grayson is a regular high school student, except his father is the most powerful superhero on earth and Mark is starting to develop powers of his own. This was a lot of fun; the characters are believable and the humor is great. The storyline is mainly Origin story, but it's evident that the potential is there for a fantastic series. The art is fitting for the story of a teenager superhero as well.

This was a reread for me, but it had been awhile since I'd read this and the mood struck me. I enjoyed this just as much this time as I had the first time around. I've tried Kirkman's other works, The Walking Dead, Outcast, and Haunt and they all fell flat for me, and to be honest, I'd forgotten that Kirkman had written this too, so I guess it's just his horror titles that I don't like. I thoroughly enjoy the family dynamic in Invincible, with Markus Grayson and his mom, Deborah, fully embracing knowing his dad, Nolan, is the superhero Omni-Man. When Markus' powers manifest, he decides to join his dad in crime fighting as Invincible. I think I like Deborah most of all, as her matter of fact acceptance of the danger her husband and son face on a daily basis hides the concern she actual feels for her family.This is a quick introduction to the core and supporting cast, and the actual superhero aspect of the story is really just the backdrop to Markus' family and him discovering his powers and how he is learning to balance them with high school. I really liked the minimal line art and color palette used; it's marks a stark contrast from other superhero books and their hyper detail and layered color effects, which I think is the point. This book is a superhero book, but it's different from the rest. I'll definitely be continuing with this series.

The best superhero comic of the past decade. It has all the tropes and a certain level of realism, while still being cartoonish with the art.

I picked this book up on the recommendation of the guys from iFanboy.com (by the way, if you're a comic fan you should check out their site and podcast; good stuff). They recommended Invincible countless times on the podcast and finally I had to see what all the fuss was about. The book did not disappoint. The story of a teenager who discovers he's inherited his father's superpowers is a whole lot of fun. I liked the family and school stuff just as much as the super-hero stuff. I will definitely be picking up the next trade.
