The Complete Invincible Library: v. 1 (Hardback) Review


This is a must for any fan of the series Invincible, if having a couple of bucks to spare. This vast collection includes all the comic Invincible to number 24. It is also highly recommended for any new reader who wants to save a few dollars buying everything together instead of separate volumes. In addition, you also get all the original comics, which are always interesting. So if you have some money for entry, you may want to seriously consider this volume.

Enough has been said about this series, so I'm sure you know is the best superhero book on the market today. Nothing else comes close. Nothing.

Much has been said about the high retail price of this package and yes, it is too expensive, but Marvel and DC have a lot more readers and customers for their joint special hardcover. Therefore Image needs the price high for the return. It is what it is, so with 30 to 40% off Amazon, the price is perfectly acceptable.

The set is sewn and glued, not by what can be read over and over without fear of falling apart pages or division release binding. My team has been read at least three times, not to mention all the foam I've made through it in recent years.

Also of note is that this set is actually giant larger than 12 edition hardcovers. It is colossal. My only problem is the agonizing wait for volume 2, aws read this series in HC. Thank God the wait of almost two years finally going to end. As I write this review, volume 2 is weeks away from being released. Thank God!
