This is one of those bridge volumes, where you know some bigger things are coming, but seeds have to be sown first. Here, we see Mark and his mother (and the world) dealing with the fallout of Omni-Man. We see where the world struggles to find suitable replacements for lost heroes, and we see Mark dealing with the chaos of his personal life. Again, there is nothing convoluted about this series. It reads straight-forward, nothing that leaves you confused.

The quality of the faces that are drawn panel to panel are okay, but not amazing. The fights are cool.
the emergence of multidimensional travel, the big tall blue clone twins, a Martian secretly sneaking aboard a NASA spaceship, Robot’s behavior being sus, The Immortal taking over the new version of the Guardians of the Globe, Mark trying to balance his secret identity with being a superhero, and the emotions of Nolan’s betrayal! All of this piling up from Vol 1 - 4. So much crazy stuff. Oh and the Rock Man who was working for Machine Head actually turning out to be a two faced crime boss 😱! The drama!

I love seeing that Eve has chosen a different path, using her powers for something other than fighting. I also like that she’s chosen to leave boyfriends behind. It shows a maturing of her character.

The aftermath issues are always somewhat saddening. In this case, they solve it in a very alluring manner. By Mark picking the flag of what could be.

I enjoyed this volume! The writing isn’t anything amazing, but it’s still fun nonetheless. I also like the depiction of Mark and his mother’s grief, I feel like that’s an aspect that’s handled really well. I’m hoping for more depth in Eve’s character in later volumes, and I hope they don’t push her and Mark together before developing her character more. Or, even better, I hope they stay as friends.

It is noteworthy how good this book still is in the fourth trade. The story picks up where the previous trade left it. In this trade invincible's rogue's gallery gets expanded though.

still a wonderfull series.
