Invincible: Ultimate Collection, Vol. 11 by Robert Kirkman
4.0
If I ever decide to read Invincible again, I'll be skipping from the Ultimate Volume Six to Ultimate Volume 11. The first section, "Reboot", is a cool jumping-back-in-point, even though it's not actually a reboot. The basic premise is that Invincible is given a shot to relive his life and fix every mistake he's ever made, putting us all the way back in the story of Volume One. It's a fun trope, and it allows a timejump in the story. And this story desperately needed a timejump.
After fifty issues ranging from bad to unreadably terrible, it's a relief to be back into a story where there isn't constant melodrama. There are a few eyerolly moments but they are much more spare than in volumes 7-1o.
"Full House" offers the big buildup to what will be the final volume of the series. And while there are still some moments that feel like they come with swooping piano-themed musical cues, they didn't detract from the story.
I recommend picking this up after Volume Six and just letting the frequent recapversations fill you in on the ridiculous things that made up the previous four volumes. I also recommend it to people who like CW superhero shows.
