Invincible: The Ultimate Collection Volume 1

Invincible is a super-hero title in the midst of an industry that is filled with super-hero titles. I have been reading these types of comics since I was a kid...over thirty years now...and I decided to give this a try because it had gotten so many good reviews. I bought this volume thinking I might get volume 2 in a few months or so. I was immediately hooked on this title. The art is GREAT! The writing is BETTER! This book is (in my opinion) simply put: One of the BEST super-hero books EVER written. I compare it to the original Spiderman that captured my imagination so many years ago. The story is superbly crafted and the artwork jumps off the page and explodes on my corneas! I feel I should warn against letting young kids read this title due to some heavy amounts of blood during the amazing knock down drag out fight scenes. They are depicted in grisly detail and, while very bloody, are more exciting than most comic book battles. The hero of the story is portrayed realistically and as a college freshman aged kid, he faces a lot of hard decisions. Kirkman writes it like he had lived it...it is believable and he adds just the right amount of humor. I have already told many of my friends to go pick up this title, and I would definitely recommend it. The Ultimate Collection is excellent. BIG BOLD colorful pages, nice sturdy hardcovers, and sewn bindings that let you fully open the book wide so you can see every inch of these amazing stories. These are characters that I think will stand the test of time just like Spidey or The Bat. AWESOME STUFF!

I had never heard of Invincible before this purchase. It was recommended to me and I gave it a try. The story is very well written. The author is the author for the Walking Dead comic. If you like his writing style there, you will like this as well. This book covers the first 13 issues. The story is about the high school age son of the most powerful hero on Earth and his dealing with his now appearing powers. There are some twists to the stories and a little satire pointing at the JLA. There are two artists for the 13 comics. Both artists do an excellent job and unless you look really closely, you will have trouble determining which issue they switched artists. The book itself is extremely well made. Short of the absolute editions by DC, this might be the best quality book I have purchased. It is large enough to mimic a full comic book size. Pages are crisp, colors are excellent and there's an overall feeling of a solid book. At the end there a many sketches by both artists showing how characters evolved. If you're looking for a superhero story off the standard DC and Marvel path, this is a great book to start with. There are 12 books in this series (the comic ended its run and the 12 books cover the entire run). I can't wait to purchase the next book.

SPOILER FREE: Early warning that this comic definitely gets graphic violent-wise, so be forewarned. This is a fantastic comic book collection. It gives an enjoyable spin on some other, more common superhero stories. Thick and durable pages; the paper cover pages are even sturdy with a nice texture to them. The story itself is amazing and it has great art to go with it. The main character has a great story arc and there are definitely some twists along the way. This edition even has some additional drawings thrown in at the end (I’m covering one for spoiler reasons). The book is in perfect condition and is only 400 pages long, so it’s not to difficult to carry/read. Definitely recommend this! Enjoy it.

I'm ashamed to say that I was not aware of this series until I watched the show, but after watching the second season I was DYING to find out what happened next and said "Screw waiting for season three! I'll just by the comics!" and so I bought all twelve volumes of the "Ultimate Collection" and got to reading! This series was a wild ride from beginning to end! I give it an 8.5/10! The only reason it loses 1.5? The series slows down CONSIDERABlY from Volume 2 through to the first half of Volume 5. I think the TV show does handle the filler in these books better, but after Volume 5 the series ramps up again and doesn't stop until the end! This is my favorite Superhero comic ever!!!

This series works for it's money, and it doesn't even work that hard because it flows, it's seemless, it gets the job done, which is keeping me entertained. I can't complain at all. Honestly, you could look at any superhero, mutant, fiction storyline period and say, "the high school teenager theme discovering her has super powers is so overplayed!" But it's no "oops" circumstance, tragic accident (chemicals, meteorite, getting hit by a bus and being rebuilt to become the '100 million dollar dork'), it's expected. The acceptance and normalacy of our main characters attaining powers is presented as boring and nothing to REALLY get excited about, which opens the beginning pages for a quirky, entertaining, and laughable introduction. It all presents a dynamic host of characters (I hate a stagnant host of storyline characters) that all present their own unique pros. Of course, not everything is happiness and rainbows. The storyline also has a great degree of tragedy in it, that once read through is enough to leave you sitting there asking yourself "why did it have to be this way?" But as the story continues to develop, Kirkman has woven a masterpeice of thrills and pure enjoyment. I took a gamble by purchasing the first 3 volumes due to a coworker having high words to spare for the series. I was a HUGE winner by taking the gamble, absolutely NO regrets.

This came to us and was double bubble wrapped. It was so secure and in perfect condition. A absolute gem for a January birthday party for a teen boy. It was better than expected. Highly recommend this seller, pristine quality. Great price.

Muy bueno

Entrega rápida e em excelentes condições ! E o que dizer dessa HQ maravilhosa ? 10/10.

I warn you now, if you continue with your purchase of this book there is no turning back. once you have it in you hands and break it open you will not be able to stop! In short, Invincible will consume you. Invincible is without a doubt the greatest superhero comic to come out in decades...if not ever! I had heard about the series for a couple of years and was already horribly hooked on another kirkman series, The Walking Dead, when I decided to give Invincible a try. I have now devoured all 7 Ultimate volumes and simply can't get enough. You will even have a hard time going back to the other heroes such as Spider-man, Batman or the X-men. this series is so fast paced and loaded with great character development, to know it is to love it. the art is also just as brilliant as the writing. It is easy to undervalue at first, but pay close attention to the character's facial expressions and I think you come to love the art as much as I do. i haev been reading superhero comics all my life. i so loved teh genre I wrote a book about it of my own, Titan: The Midnight Hour ,but now I just feel inadequate next to the likes of this. I truly hope to see Invincible in cartoons, movies, and merchandise soon. As long as Invincible is around I'll be reading it. the Ultimate collections are also a nice addition to any home library as they are big, beautiful books with lots of little extras in the back for fans to enjoy.

Super süß und sicher verpackt und tolles Buch!! Vielen lieben Dank! :)

Los dibujos me han encantado, y la historia me parece increíble. Altamente recomendable para cualquier amante de los cómics.
