Invincible

[jgb]

Hey optimous douche, I really enjoyed your review this week although I have 2 questions for you. #1 do you only read mainstream books or are you interesting in Indie titles also and #2 are you the same guy from TheyBannedMe.com (a disgusting den of antisocial behavior) with the same name or is it the work of an imposter(http://theybannedme.com/forums/member.php?u=2)?

ahhhhh, now i understand.

You might want to reply in the talkback in there instead, or check out his myspace listed in the review. I don't think Optimous Douche has an account on the Zone yet, so you're not likely to get a response here (at least not a quick one).

In the meantime, check out the rest of the comic section and the Zone.

EDIT: I stand corrected, looks like he might have just registered...

Hey JGB, thanks for asking.

I'll read all sorts of titles, whatever strikes my fancy. I also like to help out the little presses. I did a review of American Terror for Alterna press a few weeks ago (they are actually using one oof my quotes for promotional materials - god help thhe company that has to quote someone named Optimous Douche).

Yes, that's me on http://www.theybannedme.com. It's a nice work diversion. After being a corporate whore all day and kowtowing to morons, it's great to go out and verbally evicerate people with no fear of overpowering admins (actually I am one of those powerless admins). Very cathartic, but I guess you know taht already if you have already stumbled across it.

I swear to all that is holy, if Kirkman kills Atom Eve I will never forgive him. I will write a letter to him every month calling him a meanie for as long as my will holds out.

Well, hold it there.

But IMAGE claims it isn't a prank.

So, it was just unfortunately timed.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Ha! Yes, clearing it up for you and me the only two people that participate in the comics forum.

Hey, screw you guys, I contribute here as well!!!


So I guess I won't write anything about having just finished the 6th volume in the Invincible hardcover releases and how awesome this series has been over all.

It's tempting to switch over to the single issues to get up to speed with latest developments, I think we're really far behind in the hardcover world... but they look so pretty!

Invincible is a book I consistently enjoy. It is so fun (and violent), but the really selling point for me is Mark and Eve. I miss the team aspect of the book, though. I loved all those characters.

[Pacino86845]

Yup, it's a great and refreshing series... plus the artwork pops, it's a gorgeous book. I don't know what the release schedule is like for the single issues, if it's monthly then Ryan Ottley must be some kind of autistic person to draw all that stuff so fast. Or Kirkman has him enslaved in a dungeon somewhere.

Not so much with the monthly.

It comes when it comes. Kirkman is UBER busy. I am not sure if the problem is with Ottley or Kirkman.

WC11: Robert Kirkman Spotlight

The topic shifted once again, this time to "Invincible" as an image appeared on the projector screen featuring someone new in the Invincible suit, with the year 2012 in huge numbers under him. "All I'll say is that that is a different guy in the Invincible costume. Mark Grayson is not black, suddenly. I just want to make that clear," joked Kirkman.

Robert Kirkman Remains "Invincible" & "Thieving"

Robert Kirkman is known for his big plans. Aside from the high concept twists and turns at the heart of the his "Walking Dead" series (which have hit big with non-comics audiences over the past two years thanks to its AMC TV adaptation), the writer also continues to doll out other comic book forms with his Image Comics/Skybound series "Invincible," "Super Dinosaur" and the just-launched "Thief of Thieves."

In his marquee superhero title, lead character Mark Grayson has recently given up the mantle of Invincible after being infected with a dreaded space virus meant to target his Viltrumite DNA, and in the hero's place has stepped up a new Invincible – the teen character formerly known as Bulletproof. Meanwhile, readers are getting a look inside the family drama at the heart of "Thief of Thieves" whose unique writing process sees a different co-writer on each arc starting with Nick Spencer.

In advance of his appearance at this week's Emerald City Comic Con, Kirkman spoke with CBR about both books, revealing how artists Ryan Ottley and Cory Walker will team for the inter-dimensional next arc of "Invincible,"how the action with Bulletproof will ramp uptowards issue #100, the origins of the characters crossover with The Tick and the next phase of story for "Thief of Thieves" as well as a look inside the new "Walking Dead" hardcover on sale at the show.
