Great story focusing on Rex Robot and his ambition for a utopian society. We get to see the crazy genius of Rex and how much an impact his long term planning has on the world of superheroes that focus on short term threats.

This one's real hard to get into without spoilers, but this goes to uncomfortable places in more ways that one and showcases Kirkman's ability to push the envelope while doing so under a more subversive spotlight. 2014 may not seem like that long ago, but it's touching on some harrowing stuff we still have trouble reconciling, and have only just now started to address little-by-little.

This volume was a bit much for me, tending toward abusive--although I don't want to diminish the meaning of that word. Still, the level of violence and death visited on as many characters as happens in this volume is excessive--including (Spoiler Alert!) Invincible being sexually assaulted, along with the suggestion that the Viltrumite form of procreation is meant to be violent. There's also a situation with Eve being physically harmed, which made me a little unclear on her powers...she can choose to make her breasts larger, but can't regenerate body parts? I suppose I appreciate some of the moral quandaries raised here. I just hope the resolution of the various threads here allows for some serious redemption on the part of, well, everyone.

I love the Invincible universe. It is edgy, breaks all kinds of rules and taboos, and develops every character through the series in ways that can't be easily done with characters that were created back in the golden age of comics and evolved through the comics alliance censorship era. Without giving anything away, this volume opens the door to one of the most controversial and attacked comic book plots in a different light and I for one can't wait to see how it will play out in future volumes.

It took me a minute to realize it was a sexual assault, since it is so unusual to have these certain conditions. Now, the whole Coppola's move, let's talk while all the action happens made me snicker. At least there was an attempt to make a case for the "improvement of life", even when it is so naive.

Wow! Just WOW ! This was so well done .
For once I really don't know how to go about writing this review , but man if you never read comics , you should read Invincible just to arrive to this volume and have your minds be blown .
This book had everything from Marks struggle with family to an insane nemesis that is finally better than the Superheroes (yes , plural) . The book even ended with a surprising twist, leaving you with the question "do ends , truly justify the means?"
The art was stunning as usual , the action was relentless and well portrayed , this volume was one of the best comic book I have ever read . EVER!
I am intentionally trying to be vague here , coz I want everyone to go and read this and be surprised .
WHAT A BOOK !

Wow. What a story. Everything from the cover, to the panels, to the story breeds darkness and it is so well executed.
I forgot just how brutal the Robot villain arc was and the non-finish is such a gut punch. I can’t remember if that ever sees a real resolution, but I assume it does.
Holy fuck, indeed.

Invincible fue uno de los 3 cómics con los que me enganché a este mundillo por allá el 2012. Que creo fue cuando en la página de La Comiquera recomendaron ciertas series para adentrarse en esto.
Lo había dejado de lado para ponerme al día de un tirón ya que Kirkman tiende a dar la paja estirando sus series caleta ( como The Walking Dead por ejemplo). Así que acá vamos:
Este tomo lo leí por números hace casi 4 años pero en su momento no lo resumí por acá, aunque ya sabiendo los giros el impacto es mucho menor: la violación a Mark me sigue pareciendo explícita y que se queda en eso no más, como que el tratamiento es un poco superficial. El twist de Robot sigue siendo rotundamente sangriento y lógico a su manera (ya se venía preparando y no es tirado de las mechas). Es de esos instantes que te dejan frío -como La Boda Roja por ejemplo- y todo se va poniendo más desolador mientras avanza.
