desertcart.com: Invincible Compendium Volume 2: 9781607067726: Kirkman, Robert, Ottley, Ryan, Rathburn, Cliff, Walker, Cory: Books Review: Modern classic pt.2 - I have now purchased all of the compendiums just to say I own them. Invincible is a comic that I wish I had looked into and purchased when new issues were still hitting shelves. As a collector and lover of comics it pains me to think about it. Luckily, these compendiums exist, which are far and away the best "value," in terms of money spent on the actual comic, that you can find. Any other way of reading Invincible is more expensive for getting essentially the same product. The compendium(s) are all hefty boys, and holding the book the way that I read makes my hands a bit sore after about an hour, but the story is so good it's worth some very tolerable hand cramps. There's practically no cons that I can think of save for one, which are the comments and sketches from Kirkman and Ottley that could normally be found at the end of each trade paperback. Reading the notes and things they had to say always added an extra layer of enjoyment after just finishing one of the books. The forewords that accompanied each of the trade paperbacks were also welcome, and some of them were kind of funny. Aside from that, Invincible is a 10/10. The show made me want to read the rest of the series, so I am, and I am addicted. Even if you know nothing about Invincible, the show or comic, if you enjoy superhero comics then this is a must-read. Kirkman takes the story in an interesting direction with each twist, especially when you think that the larger overarching plot can't go anywhere else. Ottley's art has dramatically improved since he was picked up way back near the beginning of the series, and he is easily one of my favorite modern comic artists at this point. The duo can do no wrong, and honestly after being on a heavy manga stint for a while, this series has re-invigorated my love for Western comics, and has made me want to try out more independent series (not Marvel or DC). One last thing, if you're hesitant on taking the plunge, Comixology Unlimited (as of 06/28/2022) lets you read the first 10 volumes/trade paperbacks of the series, which gets you past where the first season of the show ends by a fair chunk, and gives you a glimpse of what's to come. You're welcome for the free advertising desertcart. And to any future readers, welcome. Review: My older teen son actually WANTS to read these graphic novels! - My son loves these comics! He’s not a big reader but puts his phone down for these! They are a little graphic-mostly because of a lot of blood…and some Violent fight scenes (animated show is obviously worse in terms of how much you see) and some mentions of sex. I haven’t read the whole comic book yet but I haven’t seen anything so far that makes me want to keep my teen away from actually reading!

My older teen son actually WANTS to read these graphic novels!

Great comic, wish it could have been packaged better
It’s a great compendium, I love the comics just as much as the show. It got a little damaged in the packaging, I wish they stuffed the box with some package filling.

Love INVINCIBLE
I love the anime, so cant wait to read the books! The pages and colors are very nice too! If you are planning on keeping it as a collectable item or displaying it, I would just find a physical book store though.

Buen compendio, sería mejor con pasta dura ya que la blanda si no la sabes manejar se lastima. La historia de Invincible cada vez captura más, cuando hay alguna subtrama que no sabes si fue relleno, resulta que el autor le sabe dar la vuelta de manera interesante y siempre usa todos los personajes presentados de alguna forma u otra. De mis cómics favoritos hasta ahora y estos compendios son una de las pocas maneras más efectivas de poder leerlo.
