This volume wraps up many of the threads that ran throughout volumes seven and eight of the Invincible Ultimate collections. I'm glad they got wrapped up because, as you might have noticed if you read my reviews of either of those collections, I thought they were garbage, and most of them I was reading for the first time, as I stopped reading individual issues of Invincible somewhere in the 80s, because I was no longer enjoying the series, and then I picked up issue 100 to give it a shot, and hated it.

If you read volumes seven and eight, this volume will give you some closure to some of the stories.

While this book isn't as terrible as the previous two volumes, it's unnecessary to the larger story if you didn't suffer through them.

I recommend it only to Invincible completists who suffered through volumes seven and eight and who are willing to read something that has caused me to use the word "suffer" multiple times when describing reading a comic book series that, during my review of the first few volumes, I referred to as one of the best superhero comics of the 21st century. It will get better again.

Kind of felt like a lot of the themes here have been rehashed one too many times in the story now.

One of the reasons I like the idea of independent, creator owned comics is that they are, in theory, self contained. So one of the reasons I moved away from this series for a while is that in the later parts of the run, that is definitely no longer true. Oh, you can get by without reading any of the other books referenced, but it's definitely clear that you're missing something and well, that's just a rabbit hole I have no desire to climb down again. Other than that relatively minor caveat, this is an excellent collection.
