highly recommended

I give it a heck of a lot more stars than 5 but the rating only goes to five

Man I just now read the book, it's so fresh, so funny, so sad, so shocking..you wonder how can oen writer get so many emotions from you in such a short time, I had planned to read this slowly one chapter at a time but i started the first chapter, set it down and went right back and could not stop.

The book tells the story of supermans son, well not exactly, it's "Omni-man" and the justice leagie is the guardains and other little changes are made but you know what they are getting at, and it works so dang well, one of the finest stories in years, none of it seems stales like the many copy cat characters in other books, it's used well here, the freedom to tell the story as needed is key.

The book is also a family book, you have dear old dad Omni-man, Mark the new kid who just got powers, the wife and mother who holds the family house together, it all have a leave it to beaver feel with a twist, the modern day side of course, but also them being super heroes, yet they take it so calmly and eat supper or get ready for school while watching their dad/husband fight dragons in japan thinking maybe he can bring home a nice dress.

the book is also very funny, not in most cases, in a slapstick way, but just in a subtle way that is very real in some cases liek iwllaim and his name, or Invincible and his dead playing catch by throwing the ball around the world, you will love the mood.

But be ready because it has a few twists that leave you staring at the page like "no way" that change the mood, change the book..and yet as you read you never feel taken out of the story, it all works for the larger story.

Now this collects the first 3 trades, so you won't need to know a lot of history of any character or their world, it's all given right here, and the only book you will need to buy is either the second hardcover that may come out some day (but that's a long time down the road) or if your like me, the next two trades.

volume 4 and 5 continue the story up to issue 25 (current issue as of this review 21/8/05) so you can continue his adventures, they cost less than the collected hardcover and collect fewer issue at a time, but it's the best for us who can't wait for a possible ultimate edition 2 that is a long ways off.

Oh and don't fprget the extras, 80 pages of extras, this thing is packed with stuff to do once the story is done..what a value.

Great Collection for a great series!

Gotta love these no-nonsense Hardcover collections of good stories! Definitely a worthy purchase, this Hardcover collection of Invincible, the comic book series collects issues #1-13 of the original Image title by Robert Kirkman & Cory Walker/Ryan Ottley. It's good if you're a fan of straightforward superhero action/melodrama/humor. I'd compare it to early New Warriors, Johnny Storm-esque, bombastic super-hero action w/ teen angst & laughs thrown in for good measure. As the title proclaims, "possibly the greatest super hero comic book in the universe!"... they could possibly be right.

Superheroes done right

Invincible is the one book that you can never think you know what is going to happen in the next issue, because as soon as you do they throw a curve that brakes all the rules.

This story is about a likable teen named mark, who's father happens to be the greatest hero in the world and after years of waiting mark finally gets his own superpowers. Every old and tired comic gimick is done in this book, but done totally spot on, and fresh. Hardcore fans and people new to comics will like invincible.

its great to have a superhero book out there that is good at art and story and everything else, pick up this bargain of the first 3 graphic novels and enjoy the adventures of the young hero invincible.
