The second instalment of this Invincible: Ultimate Collection, Vol. 1 universe series is a six comic book issues story about the return of Set and some difficulties at home for Britt... not sure which is more deadly! 6 out of 12.
I'm really not sure why, but I liked this volume better than the first. Maybe it's that the characters are given more room to grow (and Best Tiger is awesome, for unfathomable reasons); maybe that it deals more with redemption than overwhelming force (see El Chupacabra and Japandroid); maybe that the stakes are high (there's a scene in here that rivals the Paris moment in the first volume, and a character moment with Brit that is absolutely brutal), or that it explores the heroes' lives outside
Now with even less Kirkman involvement, a sequel to the already fairly unnecessary Invincible spin-off, in which fairly standard superheroics meet Very Special Episode content clumsily addressing autism and the consent implications of possession.
Guarding the Globe Vol. 2 Hard to Kill collects issues 1-6 of the series written by Phil Hester with art by Todd Nauck. The Guardians of the Globe are back in action on different missions around the world. Meanwhile, Brit faces family issues at home. This second volume greatly improved upon the first volume. The story is more consistent and the art is better throughout. The story still suffers from not feeling like a stand alone arc. Instead it feels like a collection of side stories from the In...
Great spin off mini series from the Invincible comics. Good action and art. Recommended to comic lovers
I'm giving it 5. It has one joke that made me laugh way, way too hard. And that's worth the rating to me.
I don't understand the choice of Toth's name. He looks like Cernunnos.
I still wish these stories were B or even C stories in Invincible, but this was another fun read. Hester and Nauck did a great job but there were a ton of moving pieces here. The fun and creativity of Invincible is very present. The focus on Brit and his family is touching. The problem with these enormous casts are when someone dies it doesn't always have the effects it could if there was a limited number. Overall, a good read that would be better served in the main book.
Much better than the first volume. Liked how he bad guys were still around, but took a back seat to the good guys. Needed to be done after the mess that was volume one. While there were quite a few characters that didn't get panel time, the ones that we got to see were well fleshed out, PLENTY of great beats, especially the few panels where we find out [redacted] was manipulated by a body snatcher.And though Brit's homelife with Brit Jr. was a bit overdone, the fate of certain characters was nic...
For the second volume they found a better ghost writer for Kirkman (or he started his 12-step program together with El Chupacabra). So this volume has glimpses of interesting stories for team members. But the proportion is still jarring: just few good panels per issue. And I couldn't care less about the villains and their plans.
Not bad. I wish I had read these in sequence with the main story. Still enjoyable though. 4 stars.
Follows the Guardians with more fights and real bad stuff happens. Great volume!
Worth the read if taking a dive into Invincible and you like fleshing out a world.
