Product Information

Synopsis: The first volume of Robert Kirkman’s superhero series focuses on teen Mark Grayson who is just discovering his superpowers and learning to exert them while balancing everyday life.

Invincible Compendium Volume 1 collects the initial chapters of Robert Kirkman's groundbreaking superhero saga, Invincible. This massive volume serves as an ideal starting point for readers looking to immerse themselves in a world filled with complex characters, intense action, and thought-provoking storytelling. If I hadn't seen the show, I'd probably be waxing lyrical about how fun this was and how it combines effective art with tight storytelling and manages to work at several levels. D.A. Sinclair: A young and reclusive scientist at Upstate University and creator of the "Reanimen" who is hired by Cecil to build Reanimen out of the corpses of extra-dimensional Invincibles. Nolan Grayson: Mark's father, Debbie's husband, and formerly the greatest superhero of Earth known as Omni-Man.This article may contain irrelevant references to popular culture.

Killed by Omni-Man.

The Lizard League: A group of lizard-themed terrorists, they are parodies of fictional reptile-based villain groups The Serpent Society, HYDRA and Cobra. The Lizard League consisted of lizard-named agents along with an army of human followers. Their secret headquarters lies in the Florida Everglades and bears a striking resemblance to a Cobra Terrordrome.Monster Girl: A girl who was cursed by a gypsy, now able to shapeshift into a large ogre-like creature with superhuman strength. A side effect is that with each change into Monster Girl, her normal self becomes younger physically. Her boyfriend, Robot, however found a cure for the curse, allowing her to develop normally. The story is fairly interesting. I like these kinds of stories and there is more to it than what I said (I just didn’t want to give spoilers). Interestingly enough though, I did find myself pulled in a bit during the first 1/3 of the second issue. This portion of the book dealt with Omni-Man's alien history on the planet Viltrum. It's easy to tell the tale borrows heavily from Superman, but in some ways, the writer makes it his own. Objectively speaking, it's fairly well done for a origin story so brief, but much of my disproportionate enjoyment can probably be attributed to the fact that it was a welcome change of pace following the previous issue. Although I wasn't wowed by this I did recognise that there was potential. After all, a good superhero story doesn't have to have a great start, it can do well enough without one, and from what I've heard it's possible the story gets better. Maybe I'll read more and find that out for myself, or maybe I'll just watch the show and get straight to the good stuff. King Lizard: The leader of the Lizard League who is an expert strategist and an expert at hand-to-hand combat. King Lizard is the only member of the Lizard League to currently be alive.
