The only official figures they have are this Heroclix set:

I do have one custom made Invincible figure that I bought off of ebay. I check for more periodically but I've never found anyone else selling any so far.

What exactly is heroclix? Ive heard about it before and it looks like some type of board game.

[Rafa]

Yeah it's kinda like a board game where you fight and each different clix has different strengths and vulnerabilities.

I've never played myself but it looks like it's sorta a D&D/Magic the Gathering type of game that uses superheroes. But the figures are pretty cool. They are little but all the Invincible ones have pretty good detail except for the Atom Eve one which does look that good.

Hey, how was the Atom Eve collected edition? When it comes to Invincible I have so far only read it in Hardcovers (on 6, by the way), but I thought maybe I should branch out into some of the side stuff. Should I (especially if I found somewhere where I can get it for not too much?)?

Oh, and Heroclix can be enjoyable, I used to play a little bit when I could make it to my LCS for their Heroclix nights. It is sort of like a 'war game-lite.' Does not take too long to get the basics down (though it can get pretty intricate), and if you ask around at your shop, they can probably find someone to teach you, if you are interested. Plus, if you are fine with not getting a collector's mindset, you could probably get as many pieces as you would want for some time after maybe three or four boosters. (or you can be like me and when they have a game night of "use only pieces from the most recent set" just buy only one booster and roll with it)

If you're a fan of Invincible than I think you'll enjoy the Atom Eve/Rex Splode collected series. Gives good background to both of their stories with some fun dialogue. I didn't check Amazon but the trade is selling on ebay for about $5.

Good to hear, I will keep an eye out for it on Ebay at around that price then.

#93 tomorrow!

[Obregon Kaine]

I just read issue #92. It was a good issue, but my favorite part was that I got a letter printed in the letter column.

w00t!

[Rafa]

Almost caught up, just finished the latest trade and have the next issues waiting to be read. So glad I was able to use an interlibrary system to get into this series.

another great issue in #93!

So I am out of town at my mom's wedding until tomorrow. Of course I refused to wait an extra day to read this so I went out an found a comic store and picked this up after the ceremony was done. Good fun as always although I feel like things are moving a bit slowly. Some quick thoughts:

spoilers:

- Crazy that Robot's plan takes over a century. I know that not much Earth time has passed but that is some serious long range planning since they still have to live through that length of time. Smart plan though. - Looks like Mark is really frustrated about not having powers. It would definitely be a hard adjustment to feel powerless when something was happening and you can't help when you're used to being so powerful. - Loved seeing the Sky God subplot return. Sucked to see that this is probably the end of it. - Would like to get some more info on this whole Zandale/Tyrone thing. This arc is really dragging out the answers. - The 2 2 page spreads showing the Guardians fighting the Flaxans looked great. - Intriguing last page. Can't wait to find out who the big guy is. The result of Monster Girl's "mistake"? Robot and Monster Girl's kid? And why was Robot soooo sure that the Flaxans wouldn't invade again?

end of spoilers

Great looking issue and a fun read but I'd love to start getting some answers. The trade will read great but the monthly wait is torture to find out what happened.

The trade will read great but the monthly wait is torture to find out what happened.

Which is why I think this book is the best book on the stands right now. This was maybe my favorite issue that I've read (only been reading since 71). Great battles, great characterization, hugely interesting story lines (especially with Robot's reaction to the the Flaxans and then at the end). . .

I read it, then read it again, then called my brother to talk about it (he doesn't read comics and has never heard of Invincible, but I needed to talk about it anyway). So far and away the best book of the week and maybe my favorite issue of anything put out this year. Yay, Invincible!

My online shop got shorted by the supplier and my issue of Invincible won't be in the mail until the 19th!!
