Invincible, Vol. 2: Eight Is Enough by Robert Kirkman
4.0
What I lIked :
So having read what happens in the next volume , I think I am a bit overzealous with my rating ... Sue me !
There's just a pure sense of entertainment and fun in this comics , breaking the stereotypical superhero tropes and making fun of it all but also making entertaining adventures and daily live struggles of a teenager plus the obvious growing up story for Mark aka the titular Invincible for the reader to enjoy .
Simply said it's fresh , its funny and it's unique and it's one of the best thing out there that I have come across .
What I didn't Like :
The art I'm still not a big fan of , although I don't know what happened but towards the end of the volume the art seemed to improve and gain some consistency , specially in terms of background colours and facial features . I think maybe they changed the illustrator towards the end , not really sure.
Also I think Mark's mom character and his best friend's character weren't fleshed out or given enough page-time until this volume (ofcourse that all changes next volume , Oh i can't wait to talk about the next volume).
Overall
If you enjoy superhero comics but are tired of the stereotypes that these days Big Two (DC & Marvel) follow than you MUST read this , since while it delivers as a Superhero comics , it also makes fun of those stereotypes and the end result is a fresh , clever and unique comic book . A MUST BUY !
