Despite guesting a number of Image universe stars, this follow up series is seriously not worth reading and you'll miss nothing by not reading it! It's like a completely different series to the first volume, possibly due to Kirkman not writing it, and when I say possibly, I mean essentially. Collects #7-12 where Brit and his allies take on the Emperor... zzz 4/12

I thought this finished off the series nicely, I think there was more of a story arc in this one with Brit going to a different dimension. We also got to see origin for Brit which was cool and all in all this was an enjoyable story.

This was a really nice bow to wrap up the series, where I’d actually admit that I wouldn’t be mad about more of this comic in the unlikely event that they revisit it in the future. This series started with super extreme everything and finished as a story ultimately about family. Would definitely recommend to any Invincible fans and fans of 90’s Image comics.

Every critique that I had of Volume 2 was directly addressed in this volume. While Volume 3 is still not as good as Volume 1, it was an enjoyable read. While the second Volume wasn’t necessarily amazing, it did a great job setting up for the excitement of this one.
The other Invincible characters didn’t really drive any of the action. They were mostly just cameos, but it was still fun seeing Brit and his story as part of the greater Invincible universe.
This volume really shines when it digs deeper into Brit as a person. I always enjoy his interactions as a father and husband, and this aspect of his character is throughly explored throughout the story.
This volume does a really good job rolling the events of Brit’s standalone stories into the character we know from the Invincible universe.

Brit Vol. 3 FUBAR collects issues 7-12 of the series written by Bruce Brown with art by Nate Bellegrade.
I this volume we get Brit versus the Emperor and a collection of alternate dimension versions of characters from the Invincible Universe.
Volumes 2 & 3 of the Brit series are really just nonsensical. There is also so sexist and homophobic moments sprinkled in for good measure. Stay for the art and the action but don't bother with the story. I reallyove the character of Brit and relationship with Donald but if he isn't written by Kirkman, the character just falls flat.

Meh, Brit is invulnerable, and the book finishes with a story similar to Captain America. More choppy storytelling and a "plot" I quick caring about. Robert Kirkman is a better writer than an editor.

Reprints Brit #7-12 (June 2008-January 2009). Home and finding his life in shambles, Brit finds himself in a battle against a possessed Invincible and a moon adventure. When a being called the Emperor shows up on Earth, Brit learns what his love could cost him…but the return of Brit’s mysterious brother Euclid could mean doom!
Written by Bruce Brown, Brit Volume 3: FUBAR is an Image Comics superhero Invincible spin-off series. Following Brit Volume 2: AWOL, the collection features art by Nate Bellegarde and Andy Kuhn.
I liked Invincible…it was a true saga that played out over years. The series had a number of spin-offs, but Brit managed to last a bit longer than some of the others. While the series doesn’t live up to Invincible’s standards, it does have some merit…but the status of the comic feels like it is doomed.
The Brit series seems very stagnant. Brown follows Kirkman’s story writing style by having the characters endure rather extreme events, and he also follows Kirkman’s rather slow and methodical pacing. Unfortunately, the series is headed to an end here and it becomes rather hectic and chaotic as it tries to wrap up some storylines (while still leaving some outs to explore more of Brit’s life). It doesn’t feel very satisfying.
The best part probably is the Invincible crossover because it is just always nice to see Invincible (especially an Invincible that is mired in all the horrible stuff that happened to him in his own series). Invincible may get possessed but it really feels like an Invincible title (plus, it is fun that the series managed to get a reference in to Invincible’s meeting with Spider-Man).
The second half of the book is a hodgepodge of an alternate Earth storyline (which often cuts down the level of tension because it is essentially an Elseworlds story), and it also has a big family storyline involving Brit’s missing brother. Brit reveals his secret origin in the end, but it feels like it is more out of necessity and an afterthought due to the series’ ending…if the series had been more like the last two issues, it might have been better.
Brit ends in this volume and that is the real problem with this collection. It sets up a few other mysteries, but what plotlines it does solve, it feels like it is rushed in solving. Brit unfortunately doesn’t have the charisma and honesty that makes Invincible a fun ride…but it is always good to get more Invincible in some form.

brit is complete! honestly, this volume was prob my favorite for the whole thing. i think it was wrapped up great, the backstory was a neat touch. the whole secret evil brother thing was random, i cant lie, but it wasnt completely horrible. i really liked the friendship aspect with brit and donald, as well as the family aspect. would be interesting to see brit in invincible show, maybe like something having to do with donald, although i dont think they'll take it there. all and all, ive said this in every review but brit is def my favorite invincible spinoff series. technically, none of them are really a necessary read, but if you REALLY want to read them, i think this one is neat

This is Ok-ish Album - kind of goes like the storyline of the recent "Lightyear" movie.
A supreme commander from other timeline tries to Kidnap Donald and Brit and others are stuck trying to save him. Throw in a kid abduction, Brit's past, some action and it completes the album.

A step up and less offensive than the previous volume. Deals with an alternate universe and some of Brit's family.

More Brit, solid light superheroing fare, light twist in the story but doesn't really delve into the darkness of the premise.

It has a pretty good endgame so it is somewhat better than Vol 2. But this more enjoyable than Vol 2 but not as good as Vol 1.

Brit has just returned to his old (normal, if you can call it that) life after spending an amnesic year being tortured. A clone was created to take his place and his wife, Jessica, is quite understandably disturbed when Brit reveals the truth. She's even more disturbed, however, when she realizes that their baby son isn't actually human - he's been swapped out for something horrible. Before Brit can go in search of him, he's whisked away to an alternate reality where he's somehow become the Emperor (and is fused with his best friend, the android Donald). He has to defeat himself before he can return to his own reality. Then it's on to save his child from his evil brother's clutches (Euclid is using the child's blood to create a serum that will make him invulnerable like his siblings Brit and Britney). And many explosions ensue. Excellent origin story.

A nice correction to the last volumen. Lots of good character moments between Brit and his wife in this reality, and Brit and Donald in an alternate hellscape reality.

an improvement over Vol 2....with alternative universes and Invincible.
