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.

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. ( )
