Loading... Invincible, Volume 01: Family Mattersby Robert Kirkman
None. It's like Superman only cooler and more realistic. Invincible, aka Mark is just a teen trying to balance school, work, girls and saving the world. As much as it is about superheros it's also about families and loyalty. Great stuff and ridiculously funny. ( )Mark is a high school kid. Pretty standard. Until he starts getting some high-octane super powers. His dad is an alien, and the world's greatest hero, and it looks like some of that genetic heritage is running true. His mother is a normal human woman. A pretty decent series for this sort of thing. He has to deal with being a young hero, teamups, hot girls, all that sort of thing. http://graphicsf.blogspot.com/2007/04/invincible-1-family-matters.html I picked this book up on the recommendation of the guys from iFanboy.com (by the way, if you're a comic fan you should check out their site and podcast; good stuff). They recommended Invincible countless times on the podcast and finally I had to see what all the fuss was about. The book did not disappoint. The story of a teenager who discovers he's inherited his father's superpowers is a whole lot of fun. I liked the family and school stuff just as much as the super-hero stuff. I will definitely be picking up the next trade. no reviews | add a review Is contained in
No descriptions found. GRAPHIC NOVELS. Mark Grayson is just like most everyone else his age. He's a senior at a normal American high School. He has a crappy part time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit...but doesn't quite understand them. He enjoys hanging out with his friends, and sleeping late on Saturdays...at least until the good cartoons come on. The only difference between Mark and everyone else is that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and as of late, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. Strange things begin to happen to Mark Grayson as he begins to develop superpowers. Luckily, his dad is around to show him the ropes, at least he would be if he weren't so busy saving the world all the time.… (more) |
