Old doors close as new ones open. Mark Grayson, AKA Invincible, has reached the end of his high school years. Watch as our hero dons that goofy-looking cap and gown and hope some big super-villain doesn't crash his graduation ceremony. Then again, what are the chances of THAT happening?

Kirkman's writing has been steadily improving as this series goes on. The story seems a little more cohesive lately, less scattered than it did towards the beginning.
The Immortal is back. Seemingly dead at the end of issue 7, he was brought back to life by The Maulers and has now decided to reclaim his status as leader of The Guardians of the Globe. This does not bode well for the current leader, Robot. And just how does all of this involve Invincible?

Now Mark has to figure out how to let her know he's neither interested...nor legal.

Holy crap man...Mike Perkins KILLED it with the art in this issue. The story was captivating and engrossing, and Ram V's script was great. Loved seeing Ivy, Woodrue, and Holland. More of this please!

They're back! The dreaded alien invaders from another dimension have returned seeking revenge! Invincible and Atom Eve are the front line against an all-out invasion of EPIC proportions. The end of the world is at hand, and our best defense is a couple of 18-year old superheroes. Let's hope they've got their hormones in check!
It is a excellent adaptation. It's very different though. The original comic story is simply better. They've had to make various changes for modern audiences. Thankfully, none of said changes warp it into something completely different from the comic. I'm loving both. Hopefully you do too!
Yeah so far the only differences I've noticed the show made are the pacing/placement of certain events chronologically, an increased focus on the demon detective, and they made William gay and Amber black. I am thankful for having watched some of the show though, because hearing J.K. Simmons' voice in my head whenever I read Omni-Man's lines honestly elevates my reading experience lol

Absolute garbage. This story and concept are just lame. This will end up in the dollar bin at some flea market but that is more than it should get.

Yep, just about the biggest insult I can use for a comic while keeping the language clean for the kids reading out there. You can find a lot of Russell's work there because he inserts his crazy leftist views into established characters.

There is nothing below him. There is nothing above him. For as far as Mark can see, there is nothing all around him. What happened to Mark last issue to put him in this place? What is this place? And what does it have to do with his future as a superhero?

Mark gets the ever-loving snot beaten out of him for an entire issue, and it is awesome. Powerful, emotional, bloody, brilliant.
Mark's world comes crashing down around him. After the events of last issue, Mark is left wondering how he'll survive. You have front row seats as Mark comes face to face with the most deadly foe of his short-lived superhero career. It's all been leading up to this, and you do not want to miss this issue!

The truth comes out. After a somewhat all-over-the-place first 9 issues, things are really getting interesting.
The status quo becomes a thing of the past when Mark's world is torn apart before his eyes. How will he pick up the pieces? Events in this issue lead into our big issue 12 spectacular! Don't miss it!

Best issue yet. Ryan Ottley's art is getting better, and I LOVED the nod to comic artists reusing panels. Very meta and legitimately hilarious. The story takes a crazy turn and I'm pumped to find out what happens next.

I'm not sure I buy Marnie's backstory about being a love interest of Steve Rogers. Just seems weird to all of a sudden decide that she was a big part of a major character's history but was never once seen or referenced until now. That kind of thing creates continuity nightmares.
That said, I'm still enjoying how Taylor writes Spidey, so I'm willing to suspend my disbelief.
