highly recommended

Get in on the ground floor! This massive hardcover collects the first 13 issues of Robert Kirkman's Eisner-Nominated super-hero, along with all the extras from the first three trade paperback volumes and even more on top of that! Invincible: The Ultimate Collection, Volume 1 is a can't-miss for anyone who's wanted to start reading Invincible, but needed an easier way to start from the beginning.

Excellent Choice for my First Comic

I didn't read comics as a kid, but I have always been fasinated with superheroes. After consulting several recommendations lists and reading lots of reviews, I chose Invincible as my first comic. I wasn't disappointed. It has everything I expected from a comic - a larger than life hero, lots of action, excellent artwork, and easy to read. It also had things I hadn't expected - the hero has more than one dimension and story is mature enough to hold an adult's attention. I read a wide variety of genres from classics to biographies, from fiction to science fiction, and this was just as enjoyable to read. I'm looking forward to getting volumes 2 and 3!

Worth It!

If you are a fan of Invicible the series. Or you like anything that Image comics puts out, by this! The best series i have read in a while, and the best super hero series i have read in years!

BEST NEW SERIES...

...i was always skeptical of this comic from an "alternative" publisher...until my wife gave me Invincible the Ultimate Collection vol. 1+2...
....these stories bring back memories of when comics were fun (and not so serious and dark as they tend to be these days)....Kirkmans tales easily fit in the comics tapestry along with classics like Amazing Spiderman , The Justice League, Superman...ect...

Slow, but got pretty good.

It starts off slowly, but then there is gradual progression in suspense and tension. That said it leaves you wanting MORE so very badly.

Robert Kirman's writing is good and mature in tone for this contemporary reader.

So for taking a chance on a book I never read one issue of, it lived up to it's hype, and I think has a lot of momentum moving into the next volume which will make me buy volume 2 if not 3 as well.

Surprisingly mature look at superheroics

This hefty volume collects the first 13 issues of Invincible. Invincible is Mark Grayson, the teenage son of the world's greatest superhero. The series starts with Mark discovering his powers ("finally!") and beginning his adventures alongside his father.

His actual superheroics are fairly lackluster - Mark is... unsurprisingly... invincible, and he doesn't have a tough time beating down on the bad guys. Instead, he's frequently thrown into situations - in and out of costumes - where he's forced to think clearly under pressure.

The bright colors, easy humor and seemingly casual storylines make this look deceptively like a children's comic. It isn't. The challenges faced by Mark, his family and his friends are surprisingly mature and brutal - although their world is cartoonish on the surface, thanks to Kirkman's superb writing, the characters run quite deep. A quick read, but well worth it.

I came late to this series, but look forward to following it for quite some time.
