That was an improvement, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm looking forward to getting back to the main Invincible line. This did have an over-arching story which helped a lot. I just miss the main cast.
Invincible Universe Vol. 2 Above the Law collects issues 7-12 written by Phil Hester with art by Todd Nauck. Further adventures of the Guardians of the Globe and their battles with the Lizard League. This is probably the best arc yet featuring The Guardians of the Globe. The author finally found his stride with the characters and it is balanced very well. My favorite issue was with Le Brussier. The art has been strong through these tie-ins as well. This wraps up the tie-ins and crossovers and no...
Read this completely by accident and it was FINE but I didn’t have any context. Also........... best tiger’s english.......... somebody doesn’t know that Asian people can speak English......
Another great volume of Invincible Universe. I feel like Hester is definitely more comfortable with the characters and their relationships to one another. This volume lets the team come into its own, as Invincible does show up, he is reserved for "big guns" status. I also like the way the team reacts to different villains. Hester gives them a chance to really show off their personality based on how they attack or defend. There are two major stand outs for me. The solo story of Le Bruiser, which
It was okkkkkk
SCORE: 60 | C+ / B-TRIGGERS: graphic violenceREVIEW: I read this before going to bed, woke up the next morning and forgot almost everything that happened...There are reptiles, superheroes and that's all I remember. Probably the most skippable of the lot so far. However, I do remember enjoying it at the time.
Continuation of a fun group of Guardians.
The only redeeming part of this book is the Le Brusier's arc. You just can't be negative about French bulldogs.
A fun tie in to Invincible's universe. All of the stories are great, but I really liked the Le Bruiser solo issue and the wedding issue of Kid Thor and Knockout. They were both a lot of fun. El Chupacabra's subplot of dealing with his alcoholism while his sponsor is the supervillain Titan was quite enthralling as well. Todd Nuack has produced some of his finest work to date on this series.
Very nice spin off mini series from the main Invincible storyline. Good art and story. Recommended
This is pretty similar to the first volume of the series, following the background heroes who I was only passingly familiar with from reading Invincible. It never really follows up on the "above the law" premise that was set up at the end of Vol. 1 and gives it its title, but there's plenty of fun superhero action.
Fundamentally unnecessary spin-off with too much time devoted to a knock-off of, of all the B-listers, the ruddy Serpent Society. However, the issue in which a superpowered French bulldog singlehandedly takes down a crime syndicate pretty much justifies the whole series, not to mention my suspicion of French bulldogs.
