Heard a lot about the series and picked up the first trade. What do you think makes this such a high-rated book?

I held the book today, but was not compelled to read it. The cover looked very campy and boring.

The crazy thing is how the series starts is kinda like Ultimate Spider-man... in that it starts off a little slow but it builds this momentum, and then BAM! It just rockets off at issue 6 or 7. After that its a helluva ride.

Because it's always such a consistently great read. Plus, it's got a hero who's real-life problems get in the way more than his super-hero ones which is something anyone can relate to.

Ya. He comes off as a new breed of Peter Parker. I honestly, and can easily say, that this is one of the better capes books out there. The entirety of it has a bit of spoof/homage to almost every other superhero comic before it. Very fun book.

I read some 20+ issues of this book and was completely underwhelmed. It wasn't bad, but I never understood the draw.

It's just old school fun comics. If Lee & Ditko/Romita were doing Spider-Man today, this would be it.

You know what, that is pretty much it. It follows the old formulas with some touches of modern, and some humor by not taking itself too seriously. Which, let's face it, almost all titles in Marvel and DC do just that.

I've found that nearly every Kirkman project (at least his Image ones) start off kind of slow for the first few issues and then hit a point wwhere they simply become pure awesomeness.

I've learned from example to give them time. I read both Invincible #1 and Walking Dead #1 and wasn't too impressed. Later on I bought the trades, and they've become staples of my pull list.

Surprised no one has commented on the Invincible War. So very cool to see the Image-verse again.

Just read the first two hardcover collections. I must say, this book blows me away. It's easily one of the best comics I've ever read. The characters are likable, the plot lines numerous, the writing witty and top notch, and the art, after the first guy left, is amazing.

And Lee loves the current Marvel books and Transformers 2, so obviously his taste o meter is broken.

Invincible is one of my favorite books in the world. It's so fun, and even when it gets really serious, it just "works" as a fun book. I guess there's a very "Silver Age" feel to it that I find refreshing.

Also, Ryan Ottley is one of the most underrated artists out there.

i read the first ish on Image's website and i didn't really laugh out loud at all (i find that in alot of books i read) but if you guys really do say it gets better as it goes along maybe i'll pick up a trade or something

Oh, I know. I'm just wondering how Kirkman can keep Invincible, and even Wolf-Man, going so strongly with all that is building up. He is the king of flow when it comes to current comic writings. My god, the plot points that come together that you'll assume would clash but work out so well. I just hope he can make it to 100 issues at least for Invincible.

Well, Astounding Wolf-Man is ending with #25. I'm interested to see how he finishes the series off.
