As an avid comic book reader for many years I wanted to share a couple of comic books I wished I had read sooner. These are comics not published by Marvel or DC
If there ever was a comic book series that I wished I had read sooner Invincible would be that comic book. Created by Robert Kirkman ( probably better known from his work on Walking Dead) with artwork by Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley. I didn’t get to read all #144 issues as they rolled out since 2004 I did get to do a week long marathon of reading this comic book getting to enjoy the emotional roller that was the Invincible comic book series.
Invincible is the story that follows Markus Sebastian Grayson is the son of novelist Nolan Grayson, who is the superhero Omni-Man, and Deborah Grayson. When Mark was seven years old, Nolan reveals that he is a member of a race of peaceful aliens called Viltrumites, that he had come to Earth to help mankind and that one day Mark would develop super powers.Mark’s powers manifest at the age of 17 while he is working at his part-time job. His powers, which increase with use, are: super strength, speed, flight, some invulnerability and fast healing.
