[Amazon Original] Invincible

S2 started last night and it was a great episode. I should probably start reading the comics at this point as I'm really enjoying the premise of the show. I wasn't exactly sure where it was all going last night, but the ending was...something.

You should check out Alan Moore’s Miracleman too. You can see where Invincible comes from in so many ways.

Mark Waid did a similar story called Irredeemable years after Invincible started that’s pretty derivative of both, but still highly entertaining.

I think you mean "The Original Writer" - he's pulled his name from it. I also have it on my list, but thanks.

Jesus, is there ANYONE crankier than Alan Moore?

Edit: and I just looked back a page and realized I’ve wrote all this before. God, I hate getting old.

I'm about 20 issues from the end of the comics right now. There have been a few slow spots, but for the most part it has been a fantastic series. And every time it starts to get a little slow, Kirkman changes it up. And when I say "changes it up", I don't mean adding a new villain or having an identity go public. When Kirkman changes it up, he doesn't pull punches.

Once I'm done, I think I'll rewatch season 1 and continue straight into 2.

I finished the comics last night - 144 issues, plus a 0 issue 'prequel', plus one issue from another series that tied in to it. Other than that one issue, I have not read any of the other 'in universe' titles/spin-offs - Brit, Capes, Tech Jacket, Astounding Wolf-Man, Invincible Universe, Guarding the Globe, etc. Although to be accurate, Tech Jacket and Brit came first.

It was one of the better series I've read, possibly just ahead of the Marvel Civil War run, and if you're not bothered by the mature content (mostly blood and gore, but also some horrible people), I have no hesitation in recommending it.

One thing to note: There are quite a few appearances by other characters that are under the Image brand, including...

Spoiler:

Youngblood, Spawn, and Savage Dragon.

I went and did some digging - those are, in fact, those characters, but they're alternate versions of those characters that exist in Invincible's version of the universe, not the versions that exist in their own comics.

If it's helpful, I don't remember you writing about itcearlier either.
