5.0 out of 5 stars More value than any other comic, Oct 3 2011

This review is from: Invincible Compendium Volume 1 TP (Paperback)

If you like Ultimate Spider-man, or the Teen Titans than this book is for you. I won't go into a full review of the story. Let's just say it is a nice coming of age story of a teenager who gets superpowers heinherited from his father. Picture Ultimate Spidey meats Superman. The reason I reviwed this is the awesome value you get when you buy this giant book. Collects the 1st 9 Vol which to buy individually would cost you well over $100, this volume runs about $5 per trade. If you like a good story, and like to read " By the Pound." then I would suggest picking this up, before you go invest $65-$80 in another Marvel or DC omnibus which will be half the page count of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT VALUE, Nov 24 2011

This review is from: Invincible Compendium Volume 1 TP (Paperback)

i've been a huge fan of Invincible ever since i picked up the first TPB
in the meantime i bought and read 4 TPBs and i would have continued to buy single TPBs if not for the Compendium volume
a huge advantage of the Compendium volume is its incredible price. Compendium 1 contains 9 TPBs which to buy from Amazon individually would cost around $90-100 + S&H. instead, you pay $40 + S&H. true, it is probably nicer to see on a bookshelf 9 different TPBs, but that is for sure not good enough reason for me to continue buying individual TPBs
the same stands true for Walking Dead Compendium 1 which i also have

i really appreciate the fact that Image is giving us this 'Compendium option'

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite thing, Aug 30 2011

By Jess Vesh - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Invincible Compendium Volume 1 TP (Paperback)

I work in a comic shop, hardly any customers are willing to give this Image title a shot (because well, Image.), but all of the employees adore it. It starts off a little slowly, but once you get maybe, 6 issues in you can't possibly put it down. Just completely brilliant. It isn't just for people who like super heroes, it isn't even just for people who like comics, but it's completely perfect for the medium and it constantly continues to improve both in story and in art. It's absolutely Kirkman's best work, hands down.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of a great comic for very little money, Feb 14 2012

This review is from: Invincible Compendium Volume 1 TP (Paperback)

There are nearly 50 issues in this thing when you consider it has 1-47, issue 0, the Origins issue, and The Pact issue. Actually that looks like exactly 50 issues to me. I may be forgetting one though.

I just picked this up and read from the beginning last night, and I got through the entire thing today. It's something like 1000+ pages, it was just that good. I am a huge fan of The Walking Dead, so I thought I'd give this one a try. Kirkman really delivers.

I'm just sort of sad that I don't have any more to read right away and it will likely be a few weeks before I can pick up the next trade volume.

The only thing that aggravated me was The Pact issue. I'm not really sure what that was, but I think it must have been some kind of other Image Comics story that involved multiple Image superheroes. I was pleasantly surprised that the issue directly following this was very related to that Pact issue though.

I would recommend this to any of my friends. It comes out to less than $1 an issue or less than $4.50 per trade volume. Those things can be anywhere from $10 - $15 each. The only difference (I own trades 1-4) is that there is a lot of extra stuff at the end of each of the trades including preliminary drawings and concepts and explanations of them. If you're a huge fan of supplements, you may want to consider the trades instead, but if you just want the great story, stick with this compendium.
