Invincible

This Eisner Award-winning Image Comics series revolutionized superhero storytelling by following Mark Grayson's journey from ordinary teen to the legacy hero Invincible - with all the brutal consequences and emotional complexity that growth entails. Across 144 issues, Kirkman and artists Walker/Ottley craft a sprawling saga featuring: (1) The infamous Omni-Man betrayal that redefined comic book father-son dynamics, (2) Visceral superhero battles where injuries have lasting impact, and (3) A fully-realized universe with Viltrumite empire politics, alternate dimensions, and Earth-based heroics. The series masterfully balances intimate character moments with galaxy-spanning conflicts, following Mark through relationships, fatherhood, and impossible moral choices - all rendered in Ottley's dynamic artwork that makes every punch feel devastating. This complete collection represents one of the most satisfying long-form superhero narratives ever created, inspiring the hit Amazon Prime animated adaptation.
