Invincible #31


Writer: Robert Kirkman
Penciler: Ryan Ottley
Inker: Cliff Rathburn
Colorist: Bill Crabtree
Letterer: Rus Wooten


Plot: Mark Grayson has brought home a new child that his mother is taking care of for him and he makes plans to take his girlfriend to Africa to visit an old friend that is still smitten with him. While all this is happening, nemesis D.A. Sinclair is working on a new batch of re-animen and an alien creature is tying to elicit the help of a few supervillains to help him transport his mind into a viable human body.

Review: Invincible is a pretty fun and fairly unique concept in comic books. Take a group of generic superheroes (and I use the word generic not as a derogatory slam but because all of the characters seem to be just out of copyright infringement of quite a few marvel and DC characters) and show their real life, with a little action mixed in. A large portion of this book is exposition and you can tell that the writer really wants to take the time to develop people, not just throwaway action stars. I really enjoyed reading it and I suggest you pick it up. I think after a few issues it’ll be pretty easy to fall right into the storyline and you won’t have to hunt down a bunch of back issues to familiarize yourself with everyone.
