You are viewing the article How To Start Reading Invincible at Tnhelearning.edu.vn you can quickly access the necessary information in the table of contents of the article below.
Invincible isn’t like any teen superhero comic you’ve read before. It follows newbie hero, Mark Grayson, as he tries to follow in the footsteps of his father Omni-Man, the world’s greatest hero. Through this premise, the comic explores Mark’s daddy-issues and the toll of increasingly violent superhero battles.
With Amazon adapting Invincible as an animated series for Prime Video, it’s never been a better time to check out the comic. But where do you start?
This handy guide has all the answers! It will point you in the right direction to start reading the Invincible comics, where to continue, the spin-offs, the different formats available, and heaps more.
Who created Invincible?
Invincible is the creation of writer Robert Kirkman, best known for The Walking Dead, and artist Cory Walker. While Kirkman was consistent on the book for its 15-year run, Walker only drew issues #1-7 and #127-132. Ryan Ottley was the primary artist for the remaining issues.
The comic is published through Image Comics’ Skybound Entertainment imprint, which Robert Kirkman operates. As a result, you’ll see the Skybound and Image logos on most editions. Issues and editions of collections that predate 2010 (when Skybound was founded) were published solely through Image and will not have the Skybound logo.
Where to start reading Invincible
It might sound obvious, but the best place to start reading is at the beginning – Invincible #1.
By beginning with Invincible #1, you get a much more holistic view than if you start with later issues. You see Mark grow as a character, with him beginning as a newbie hero and slowly growing into an established hero as the series progresses. Jumping into the comic later means that you miss that growth and later events don’t have the same impact.
Not sure if Invincible is for you? You can read the first issue for free over at the Image Comics website.
If you prefer to read in print, Invincible #1 can be found in the first trade paperback collection. More details are available further down the page. You can also pick yourself up a facsimile edition of this issue in comic book shops on January 25th, 2023.
The spin-offs: Do you need to read them?
Throughout Invincible’s run, Image Comics published a range of spin-off comics. These feature many of the comic’s large cast of characters and expand the world that’s established in the main series.
Some of these series include:
- Tech Jacket
- Guarding the Globe
- Capes
- Science Dog
- Invincible Universe
- Invincible Presents
Are these essential to understand Invincible? No. These comics spin out of Invincible, telling their own stories, and don’t affect what’s going on in the main series. Although, they’re worth checking out if you want to see more of certain characters.
Is Invincible complete?
Yes. Invincible ended with issue #144.
