Yes, and I feel like this image is obligatory.
>>
>>81897382
What a dumb image.
>>
it starts out decent, slowly becomes good and then great (see >>81897382), then kinda loses steam and I lost interest
>>
Last 20 issues have been lame but it's fun other than that.
>>
>>81897603
>>81897487
Pretty much every Kirkman comic.
>>
>>81897693

I don't think Kirkman is a bad writer at all, it's just that *nobody* can keep a run still feel fresh and interesting after 120+ issues
>>
>>81897843
If can't keep after 120+ issues, then don't make the series last 120+ issues.
>>
>>81897843
>If can't keep after 120+ issues
*If you can't keep the series interesting after...
>>
>>81897382

So, it's basically American shōnen? Pass.
>>
>>81898560
Kind of. It's sort of tongue-in-cheek about superheroes, or at least it starts that way. It gets a little deconstruction-y, but in the end, it loses those early elements that made it charming (albeit ultraviolent at times).

It pretty much gets mired in itself and goes into a tailspin. It's worth checking out the first quarter or third.

Nah give it a try. Besides the x is stronger then y stuff, people have lots of intercations that I'm missing in other other comics.
They do mistakes but learn put of them. Or not. But whatever they do they evolve. They are human
>>
>>81897382
I wish Mark had kept the beard

After Walking Dead croaks I hope they make a series out of it next.

didn't the dude die or something

This should help, OP

Instead of posting that autistic mess you could've just shown the page where MC gets raped.
>>
>>81898560
No, it actually has people kiss.
>>
>>81900474
you are missing the point of that template because of what you put in the What I Got box
>>
>>81899084
With a TV budget? Never happening.
>>
I'm 7 volumes in and it's been ace so far. It's pretty good having a cape comic that's not bogged down by continuity and 70+ year old characters.
>>
>>81900712
Animated, senpai.
>>
>>81900635
Are you dumb? I expected something edgy and dumb and what I got was great and amazing.
>>
I just finished the 8th volume and my only issue is that everything seems so inconsequential and there is a lack of urgency. To me, Invincible seems more like a slice of life than a cape comic which I really wasn't looking for. On that note, I might eventually drop it unless I can be otherwise reassured that shit actually changes.
>>
>>81900852
Exactly my point. The purpose of the template isn't to say a comic was "great" or "10/10", but rather what the comic is actually about. You aren't really giving any actual information about the comic itself by saying it was good.
>>
>>81900925
No that's a good explanation of it. A lot of things happen in Vince that would be an event comic in Marvel or DC but due to how it focuses on the main character without much else makes those big events feel small. I think it has a sorta weird place in capes comics, it takes the concept of Superman esque characters but instead of going into idealism or meta-context of the character (such as "Superman is the best of humanity" or "Batman is a one man war on crime") it ends up going with a very real feel of life and failure. Mark ISN'T the greatest hero, he's just the most powerful. The comic isn't really ABOUT superheroes or arcs but really just a story about growing up, responsibility, and failure.

The fact that Kirkman probably didn't write out all 120 issues beforehand for themes and arcs that does mean it kinda just meanders. I guess it works for me because that's basically life, it meanders.
>>
>>81897282
It started pretty good but I think the quality drops later.
>>
Not really a fan since it's pretty much gore porn at times. I liked it at the start but once it devolved into something like >>81897382 I just dropped it.
>>
>>81897282
yes
>>
What everybody says about the quality dropping is true. The sad thing about that is it's still better than 95% of other capes
>>
>>81901180

I think things are about to come to a head because of the time skip. Reboot? was a nice little arc though
>>
>>81898097
The War probably should have been the end
>>
>>81902840

Nah. The three way fight between Robot, Thragg and Mark should be the end though. There's no getting bigger than that
>>
>Kirkland will never learn when to stop
>>
So how much money does Kirkman make from Walking dead each month? Does he keep that going to finance Invincible or does he make obscene amounts of money from WD anyway? I don't know how the creator owned stuff works
>>
"I can see the future, and you don't live to see tomorrow."
>>
>>81902955

Kirkman is the only writer who can have his creator owned book top the sales list. Why would he stop printing money for himself?
>>
>>81903002
Invincible sells well enough to be called a success but TWD is what allowed him to leave Marvel.
