Absolutely amazing story of a dysfunctional superhero family. The second volume of Invincible deals with Mark’s loss, his father’s identity and his mother’s issues. A unique work of a mature, intelligent take on superheroes.

I liked how this volume explored Mark getting more accustomed to his role as a savior to the people while balancing his home and love life. Also, it was a relief to see that this version of Amber is much more reasonable than her animated counterpart (character assassination much?). It was also a joy to see one issue dedicated to one of my favorite characters, Allen the Alien. The ending hurt a bit though. Still, this is getting good and the art improved slightly too.

Invincible started as a small homage, slice of life superhero comic. It played with tropes and had delightful art.

In this volume, Kirkman goes for broke, opening up his world by planting seeds for future threats; he aims for more serialized storytelling and shifts focus away from just Mark and his friends and families to other side characters and villains. I'm not sure if I like it yet or not but I love Ottley's art enough to keep reading.

I know I previously read some of this back in the day and stopped long before the conclusion and may repeat that again. But for now this is fun and intriguing enough
