A complex, diffuse, script that sets up the next few chapters but does not focus on anything specific aside from an evil alternate reality Invincible. The alternate reality stuff is as the writer admits, trying to keep things fresh.

Le podría haber sacado más partido. Kirkman está estirando el chicle también con esta serie. Céntrese, hombre!

They just don't let up. More bloody violence, and more emotional complications. Fun stuff.

The only thing that saves this one is the idea that Robot is slowly yet steadily becoming dettached of it all. Mark's obssession with Levi is almost childish, a teensy hypermasculine fixation.

Again an amazing book from the invincible saga. This is without a doubt the best superhero series at the moment. Do yourself a favor and start reading Invincible.

This was super fun , and it always is super fun whenever Angstrom Levy shows up . In the whole run of Invincible , I feel like his is the only decent villain run . Of course that may well change after the events of this book .

There was a lot to like here, the feeling of helplessness and despair that maybe Atom Eve will be given the same treatment that DC gave Kyle Rayner's wife was a real scary aspect of the book , towards the end the turn of one character was really something I didn't see coming at all.

There are two aspect in this book that I didn't like and for which I am deducting one point and reducing the score from a perfect 5 star to 4 star , The first being the fact that it's 19 Volumes and Invincible hasn't really defeated a single villain by himself , in fact most of the big baddies are dealt with thanks to some other heroes work and the villains he does take down , they are mostly left unseen . The second aspect being that there's a possible change in Mark's character coming up and I am absolutely dreading it , but this change has come about some what out of nowhere and it just feels weird .

Either ways it's a near perfect title , once again .

The fall of Angstrom Levy has come. The arch-nemesis of Invincible is finally done. What a ride it’s been for him. It was weird he got a peaceful resolution... and then immediately got snatched up by alternate dimension Invincible.

This was a really great read as well. More seeds planted for Anissa, Doc Seismic, Battle Beast and Thragg.

The ending of this was phenomenal. I remember reading the issue on its own. Holy fuck, indeed. I’ll be excited to read the Robot arc again, mainly because it’ll be a nice surprise since I don’t recall it off the top of my head.

Art was phenomenal again. The colors are just so nice.
