Invincible

[Quest Mar-Vell]

During the Invincible War, there is a panel that shows Witchblade layed out(as well as other non-Kirkman heroes)... lots of people assumed that Kirkman had killed these characters. He didnt...

I think it was said by Kirkman or Larsen that they kind of consider Image characters to all be separate versions. For instance, the Savage Dragon in Larsen's comic is different than the Savage Dragon that's shown up in Invincible, like alternate worlds with the same characters. That kind of thing would account for Witchblade being shown to take part in the Invincible War but having no mention of anything like that in the actual Witchblade comic.

Don't know for sure if that's how they view it, but I like to think it is, because it makes things a lot less messy than when Marvel and DC have characters in multiple titles and crossovers.

Question 1: Best superhero comic available.

This is correct.

Yea, in the letter pages Kirkman assured readers that Sarah was not dead. Also no invincible today?

Looks like it will be out next week.

Thanks guys. That helped clear things up.

Issue #11 and #12...yeah I'm in for the long haul with this. Such a good story line and I'm really loving the full cast of characters. This is a super hero comic done right.

[PsychoGoatee]

Hell yes. It started awesome and gets better and better too.

Invincible?! Yes. I can fully agree to that.

Going off of the latest preview, it looks like Eve is really starting to lose some of that weight. I look forward to more on this development, as living in Wisconsin I already see more than my fair share of chubby girls.

Issue 91 is out today! Enjoyed the issue as always. Not quite as good as most recent issues have been but a less than great issue of Invincible is still the best book on the stands. Some quick thoughts:

spoilers:

- My love for Eve was out full force here. Seriously, how ballsy is it for her to confront Thragg after what happened to her when she fought Conquest. That shows what she's willing to do for Mark. I also liked her gathering up some heroes to "rescue" Mark. Showed some planning and smarts rather than just diving in and fighting Dinosaurus who is also probably out of her weight class (and that's not a fat joke - I actually thought they were continuing her slow slim down process some more in this issue). - Thragg shows what a clever bastard he is again. Getting Eve to think he was attacked by Dinosaurus is sneaky smart. - Looks like they really are going to put at least some focus on Zandale as the new "lead" in the book. I liked and disliked his scenes. I liked that Kirkman was giving him some personal moments to grow the character. He also came off as somewhat remorseful and less of a dick than last issue. My problem with this though is that at this point I don't care enough about him and his girlfriend's relationship to have much investment / interest in their scenes together. - I was wondering if they were going to have Mark weakened from the virus or just skip over that. Guess this answers that question - Ouch! Could also explain why it looks like Mark probably is not around for the events that have been solicited for future issues. - Pretty sure the solicitation for this issue mentioned something like "And whatever happened to Robot and Monster Girl in the Flaxan dimension?" so I was disappointed that they didn't start giving us that story line. Guess I'll have to wait until next month. Been really curious to find out what happened there.

And it should go without saying that Ottley's art was excellent as always. Not my favorite issue but it's still a little mini holiday for me on New Invincible Day.

[The Shogun]

One more month till we find out what happened between them! Cant wait.

I've been catching up via the Ultimate Collection and around issue 50 the art is really improved.

I thought Ottley really started to hit his stride mid-20's but issue 51 is when FCO came on board to do the coloring and Cliff Rathburn started full time inking and they really helped take things to a new level. That art team just kills it and you'll see amazing art from there on out.

Excellent issue! This was my fav of the last few or so, lot of payoff seeing Mark back, Mark and Eve, and all that. Good to see our buddy Dino is okay, I'm glad they touched on Bulletproof cheating on his super hot girlfriend (in Guarding the Globe), also I'm blown away that the tag from his shirt was showing, that is detail folks.

Atom Eve also kicked ass this issue, I liked her armor and blades that was metal, potential for more fun there. I look forward to more storytelling of Mark and Eve now that they're both alive and around on Earth, and of course can't wait to see the partnership of Mark and Dino continue in a bold new direction. Meanwhile, the Bulletproof-able adventures on the side spice things up well, with the alien stuff as well.

Now next month we get more answers, keep this train rolling to 200 (and then 400), I like it baby!
