Invincible Volume 23: Full House (Invincible, 23)

Great story and great art, toward the end of a classic run. All superhero fans should enjoy this. It is mighty bloody and violent, though, if that is a concern. Not for younger kids, but very entertaining for us oldsters.

Been reading Invincible for years and it's exciting to see the story ramping up and also wrapping up towards its endgame.

The throwback to art by Cory Walker for this volume is distracting, but the dramatic revelations of Kirkman’s storytelling drag you back in. Time has passed. Everything is weird. Oliver has a mustache.The passage of time gives Kirkman some great plot opportunities. For example, Terra is a much more interesting character now. At first, the Viltrumite drama seems like same old-same old. It quickly becomes obvious, however, that the empire has grown to the point of becoming a bit of a problem once again. But after a bittersweet visit to Earth, Mark and Eve are done with it all.Too bad the Viltrumite Empire is still not done with them. The thrilling conclusion to this collection of issues sets our heroes up for the final show-down.

Marki coming back to the situation of the world was incredibly sad. Or serious. Both. The stakes now feel so high. It feels like the story has completely shifted. Maybe it’s just been a natural progression but this has had me the most emotional out of all the volumes. The pain in the characters really hurts. I’m scared of the last two volumes. I don’t know if my heart can take it...

The art, which I thought could not be improved on, did! Eve and Mark, outside their uniforms was a breath of fresh air and made sense with the theme of leaving behind the hero life. His dad’s graying temple and tipped mustache was an interesting choice, but I got used to itThe couple’s drama was intriguing and the scent of things to come and complications were set, but the focus was Rex and Thrang. His kids are ruthless, of course and the daughter no slouch either. The back cover art faintly hints at what her brother will face.Oh, there is another family n the horizon!Easy with the Deus ex Machina. I had to come around to it, despite its clunkiness I went with it. Although, that light was familiar to Mark’s last encounter.

good book

Another great installment of a great series. Set up for the great finale. It's too bad they are ending the series

Great story. I heard that the series is going to end soon. Not a bad thing. Better to end the story, than have poor sales end it.

Excelente tomo de la serie.

Comecei a ler Invincible após indicação do Fernando Caruso do Podcrastinadores e não parei desde então.O Volume 23 (#127 a #132) prepara terreno para o fim da série na edição #144.Por ser uma série contínua desde sua edição #1, para curtir as novas edições, deve-se ler todas as anteriores, mas não irá se arrepender.
