A strong start to a very well received comic series. Great art and good writing. Coming of age comics can sometimes be cringey as hell but this one is funny without falling into cringey tropes!

The beginning of a new age of hero.
Intrigued by the leisurely careful story telling, cape/cowl model that examined the everyday battles of Mark Grayson aka Invincible, in & out of his spandex.
Series creator Robert Kirkman writes a simple beginning showcasing the origins of Grayson developing his superpowers. No cliffhangers or shocking tragedy here, a nice standalone story showing our good-hearted protagonist with a friendly moral compass and some interesting supporting characters that will all showcase, lead, grow, mature & evolve in the titular series hereafter.
The panel explaining his first experience with his newly formed powers is a great contrast to those elibate, popular origin tales for other heroes; sometimes a little goes a long way.
Cory Walker provides the artwork for this issue. The cover doesn’t draw you in with flash or overpopulation of various characters instead using the in-costume portrait nicely.
The whole issue has colorful panels, a huge selling point only & it’s biggest strength, the color looks wonderful, locations & characters stand out with action sequences popping nicely & distinguishing itself easily from all the dialogue & story advancement in the other pages. The first page, an open panel, is certainly a noticeable & pleasant setup.
I enjoyed this debut issue. I was more familiar with Kirkman’s more popular series, The Walking Dead, at the time and found this #1 a relief to enjoy opposed to the other cliche hero titles with long, inconsistent & complicated history & creations . After the final page I wanted more, finding myself hooked after the first few issues & invested fully after a dozen.

The later issues of this series are really good. But this first one, is just meh. There is some nice humor.
