Invincible Volume 14: The Viltrumite War Paperback – May 10, 2011

Great

It’s amazing

This one took me awhile to finish since I got distracted by so many other books but wow, the last half of this book is incredible. And the first half too, I guess. Really, the whole series. There’s so much BOMBASTIC events in this one yet, at the same time, there are AMAZING moments and twists that is just a character’s line or inaction. I truly am in awe of how amazing this series is. The events happen at such a frenetic pace yet the restraint on what happens and what characters do is unexpected.I don’t really want to cover too many specifics of this book but I do want to make a note of the ending sequence. It’s such a well done post-climax sequence. It feels like our characters get to breathe though certainly not in the way they expected. Things have happened and we get to see them a bit and yet lots of things have been set into motion that’ll surely drive future sequences. Just sublime.

Invincible, Volume 14(Image Comics, 2011)-----------------------------Much ultra-blood flows in this slam-bang, action-packed deep-space superhero slugfest, as Mark (Invincible) and his father and friends take on the remnant of the once-mighty Viltrumite empire, far off in the wastelands of space. This volume picks up where the last left off, and has a similarly gory vibe: don't leave it out where little children can find it (in order to protect those little minds from multiple images of disemboweled superbeings, etc...) But by all means enjoy the story, where we find out just how "invincible" these Viltrumites really are. You've never seen a super-story quite as intense as this one -- plus there's some good character development back home on Earth, all of which left me eager to see what happens next. I do sort of lament the loss of innocence for this series -- it used to be pretty kid-friendly, but that was a long time ago, now it's way too graphic and gross. It's a fun read for "mature audiences," though! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)

big fan of invincible since 2002, started buying the trades when they came out. This comic should be read in tpb cause its sooo exciting 1 comic a month wont do. It has a ton of blood, I dont even know if its still a kid's book but hell kids will love the gory action stuff, at least they're reading! It doesn't have as much drama as the recent trades but it gives the cliffhanger that something is up with Eve...and of course Nolan reunites with the ex, Tech Jacket should be in this book a lot more! for a dead character(in comics)he fits verry well in Invincible. Need to appear more and well the war wont dissapoint tons of action that will leave you like, whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? no way, cool! lolRead Invincible it just gets better every Trade.

Well since it was EXACTLY what I wanted and was delivered to me within prime condition I have no complaints what so ever. The art, the story and everything of the Invincible issue I obtained is awesome. I will DEFINITELY be returning to this business the next time I need a book that is a guarantee.

I love the Invincible series, and The Viltrimite War is supposed to be the culmination of a long-running storyline. The way it ends is a little lackluster, but does a good job of wrapping things up, while leaving a looming threat. It's smart. I'm a little disappointed, though, that after such a big build, the arc doesn't seem as epic as it should be. Some main characters ride the sidelines quietly during the major action, and there aren't enough big changes to give it weight. Still, Invincible is one of the best superhero series out there.

The art and story is amazing would recommend to anyone
