Has Kirkman's books (Walking Dead, Invincible) been shipping on time since he said/promised so a few months back?

I believe they've actually all been on time for the entirety of 2009, and considering he built in a 2 month buffer with Walker coming back to Invincible and Astonishing Wolfman ending with 25 he looks in pretty good shape to keep that up.

I'll be a little amazed if Ottley continues to pencil both Haunt and Invincible on a monthly schedule.

jkylefulton

Is Haunt a 6 issue miniseries, or an ongoing?

Edit: Ongoing.

Munch

Everything I've read says it's an ongoing.

Green

Okay I'm confused

Spoiler:

I don't have it with me to check, but is Erickson the same guy from Eve's story? The one she mind-wiped?

Munch

Yes. He also appeared in Brit.

Anyone know what the deal is with this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1264469/ ?

Munch

That's the abysmal motion comic adaptation of Invincible.

Dryghten

Well, I made it through about half that trailer. Abysmal indeed.

Munch

I felt kind of bad for Kirkman around the time that was released, as he hyped the thing up as a really big deal before unveiling it. Then a few weeks later it was announced that a bunch of other Image properties like Firebreather and Mice Templar were being developed into proper animated/CGI movies by Cartoon Network.

Are the episodes all that shaky? Or is it just the trailer that's seizure-tastic?

Green

Holy fuck those voices are awful

LOL, they really are.

I kinda get what they are going for with the shaky cam and rapid movements. Motion comic adaptations are generally terrible (at least, imo). All that motion kind of keeps you interested/engaged.

Anyone else think Oliver looks like a Red Lantern now?

Green

Oh wow

Now I can't unsee it

Invincible #69 Preview

Hensler

Heh heh... 69... lol

Robos A Go Go

Why is she on her stomach and facing away?

PantheraOnca

who is that on the cover?

edit: im a dumb dumb, didnt see the preview link.

Munch

You know, I think Universa should have been named Univursula.

Possibly because The Little Mermaid's Ursula scared the bejeezus out of me as a kid, and the name has permanent villainous connotations.

You know why... :winky:

Green

Eve's powers going all wonky on the rubble is a great touch

Robos A Go Go

So she could probably give herself an abortion, couldn't she?

KyleWPeterson

Hey, you don't need superpowers to do that.

Eve loves a good ol fashion spanking didn't you know.

Blind buy Invincible #1 for just $1.00

Hensler

I'm looking forward to the Viltrumite War way more than Siege/Blackest Night/Doom War/Nechrosha or any other event that's coming up or currently going.

Cue people bitching about the fact that Mark has a bloody nose in 3...2...1...

In anime, that just means you're sexually aroused.

He was probably just battered by Eve's fancy new breasts.

Solar

See, were those breasts due to her own modification or due to her

Spoiler:

bun in the oven?

I'm confused.

jkylefulton

Bold prediction for VULTRIMITE WAR - Mark grows a mustache. To beat the enemy, he must become the enemy by unlocking his awesome Vultimite mustache powers.

Solar

Or will he buck the trend and symbolise a new age by growing...

...A goatee?

jkylefulton

The goatee won't come into play until Mark makes the "First Ones" move beyond the rim.

Invincible #70 Preview

Dr. Frenchenstein

ugh trade waiting for Invincible SUUUUCKS. still waiting on ultimate edition number 5, which was supposed to come out in October/November.

Munch

Yeah, I've never understood why the TPB schedle for Invincible is so erratic.

Oh man, what was the last story that was actually collected? A lot has happened in Invincible land lately...

Dr. Frenchenstein

in an ultimate edition?

Spoiler:

Multi Paul shows up and gets captured, and Titan resurfaces. The female viltrumite shows up, and Nolan and Super Allen are in prison together. Nothing about Conquest or the Invincible War yet. Nothing about the Reanimen either, except that the creator is building them for Cecil now. The Sequids are on earth but limited in number. Oh and The lizard League is dead along with Shrinking Ray (allegedly).

Kirkman is good at juggling plots... a lot gets introduced in that book.
