So I was at Forbidden Planet today in London, and noticed that they had the Invincible Ultimate Collection Volume 1 Hardcover available.
Now I know Jordyn is apeshit over Invincible, but I'm not sure if it's my thing. I'm big on Batman/Spiderman/X-men mostly, typical superhero stuff. Can I expect the same from Invincible?
I guess I'm just looking for some honest opinions, some detail on what it's all about, and basically someone to talk me into buying into it.

I was kinda skeptic, but oh man, there is nothing I cant say that that will stress enough how good this is.
I could give examples of specific events in the series but it would ruin the over all effect of reading it your self for the first time.
Seriously, just read one issue.
EDIT:
I just checked and the first issue of of Invincible is online at
http://www.imagecomics.com/onlinecomics.php
it will be on the colum on the right hand side.
Let us know what you think.
If reading that first hardcover collection does not have you hooked, kill yourself, because there is something wrong with you.
I think what I love is that every single issue has a moment where I laugh, a moment where I say "YES!" and a moment where I say "OH HOLY SHIT." It is so goddamn good.

"That was back when I thought your father's powers were solar-based."
"It's a common mistake."
That and the mother's nonchalent approach to the father's "job" sold me.
Thanks, all.
I think my boss has the first ultimate collection, so I'll see if I can borrow it off of him. I wanted to pick some trades up the other day at Barnes & Noble, but they didn't have any.
But yeah, this is one of those comic book series that if you just can't not enjoy.
I really like Robot. I'm so very curious about where he came from. I hope I get to find out in later issues. (DON'T SPOIL ME!)

Jordyn, how is it you can phrase things so well and not give anything away.
I would be spoilering out my ass if i let the excitment get to me.
But you....you are Thesaurous Sorceress.
Good to here the link was useful, now try the Walking Dead on too, youll enjoy it also if you arnt already reading it. But thats for another thread.
I think I need to get CoV just to make a villian named that.

Anally.
this forum can go to hell.. causing me to spend my monies.
edit - i don't get teh don't buy from amazon comic, almost every single thign they sell (taht is in stock) is priced waaay lower than my local shop. I still buy tons of stuff at my local shop, but for a big hardcover, amazon is the way to go (at least in canada)
He speaks the truth!

Meh, I just deal with them alot. They seem to have good prices, is all.
Still I read the first issue - and enough people here like it for me to give it a shot. Think I've had quiet a bit of it spoiler'd for me though - but I hope it can stand up despite that I (think) I know that (warning: major spoiler if Im right):
[spoiler:abe65be14a]His dad isn't actually a goodguy but an evil alien who destroyed their version of the "Justice League" and so he has to save the world or something like that [/spoiler:abe65be14a]
Will knowing the above ruin it for me?
And cheers Martman, that didn't occur to me.
I picked up Walking dead volume one on the way as well (150 pages). Hope it's good.

Amber: How'd you do that?
Mark: Super powers, baby.
That line get's me every time
for some weird ass reason they shipped Girls 1/2 2 days ago and then in a totally seperate package shipped invinsible yesterday. Not only does amazon usually charge extra for split packages (which they didn't) they didn't even come from a different warehouse or anything.
Kinda odd heh.
The Invisibles?
It's ritten by Kirkman, so I'm confident in it, but I've been short on cash lately so anyone want to tell me if it's any good?
Mark: You have spider powers, right?
Pete: Yeah.
Mark: And you call yourself Spider-Man?
Pete: Whats wrong with Spider-Man?
Mark: Nothing, it just seems kind of lazy. I mean, spider powers, Spider-man. That'ed be like if I went "Well, I have super powers, i think I'll call myself Superman."
heh
...Yeah, I never read the comic, but I imagine Spider-man giving some kind of witty comeback.
