Graphic SF Reader
Some more entertaining Invincible action. Mark goes off to do the university thing, and has to deal with the evil American roommate idea, and having a secret identity and living with a stranger sort of problem.
How to keep a girlfriend, some good old fashioned super villain violence, and being tested by an alien superhuman planet defender inspector.
Contains Invincible #20-24 and #0
Writing by Robert Kirkman and art by Ryan Ottley. If you're considering buying this paperback, it's assumed that you are familiar with the series and have read previous issues (if not you should get those first). Volume 5 contacts Invincible #20-24 and #0. Mark continues to have trouble with the loss of his father and fights several generic villians. There isn't much in these issues regarding the storyline between Mark and his dad, but instead they focus more on Mark's relationship with his girlfriend. Some great writing in these issues.
Incredible
Robert Kirkman's Invincible is one of the best comic book series on the market. Recalling the tone and spirit of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's The Amazing Spider-Man (but definitely in tune with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars generation), Invincible is the tale of a teenage super-hero who's trying to have a normal life and save the universe on a daily basis. This fifth trade paperback is, perhaps, the best in the series thus far. Kirkman's got the magic touch!
