Invincible: Ultimate Collection, Vol. 2

Invincible #4-5

by Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley (Illustrator), Todd Nauck (Illustrator)

Continuing the definitive collection of what is probably the best superhero comic book in the universe

What now?

After the cataclysmic events of the last volume, Mark is left to pick up the pieces of his life. Everything is different now-his family, his friends, his colleagues. The world is a very strange and unfamiliar place for our young superhero. He is faced with insurmountable odds, countless super-villains, otherworldly threats... and graduating high school. Nobody told him being a superhero would be easy, but nobody told him it'd be this hard, either.

This volume contains issues 14-24, the zero issue and the story from the Image Comics Summer Special from Free Comic Book Day 2004.

About the author

Robert Kirkman is an American comic book writer best known for his work on The Walking Dead, Invincible for Image Comics, as well as Ultimate X-Men and Marvel Zombies for Marvel Comics. He has also collaborated with Image Comics co-founder Todd McFarlane on the series Haunt. He is one of the five partners of Image Comics, and the only one of the five who was not one of the original co-founders of that publisher.

Robert Kirkman's first comic books were self-published under his own Funk-o-Tron label. Along with childhood friend Tony Moore, Kirkman created Battle Pope which was published in late 2001. Battle Pope ran for over 2 years along with other Funk-o-Tron published books such as InkPunks and Double Take.

In July of 2002, Robert's first work for another company began, with a 4-part SuperPatriot series for Image, along with Battle Pope backup story artist Cory Walker. Robert's creator-owned projects followed shortly thereafter, including Tech Jacket, Invincible and Walking Dead.

Reviews

[Laurine]

Quelques longueurs surtout au milieu mais je commence à m’attacher aux personnages

[Nicolas Ronvel]

Un peu de mal au début de ce volume, mais il prend du volume au fur et à mesure. Plusieurs histoires commencent à se mélanger, et le tout en devient bien plus intéressant. Du super-héros à première vue classique, mais traité de manière moderne et pas prise de tête. Et il faut avouer qu'avoir la même équipe sur le titre depuis le début donne une vraie cohérence.

Maintenant, pas sûr que je poursuive l'aventure. Si je suis en manque de superhéros, je craquerai sans doute sur le volume 3.

A noter des scènes à ne pas mettre devant tous les yeux. Ames sensibles s'abstenir ...
