@Rohan Clancy Hey Rohan can you explain me if I buy all 3 vol of compendium, does all story cover in those 3 books?

Ryan Ottley draws the majority of it, should have him in the title. Cory Walker and Kirkman came up with the idea and made the first 8 issues together, than Ryan Ottley took over as artist on the book. Cory Walker did some additional design work on some characters and drew another story arc to give Ryan some vacations, but Ryan drew over 100 issues. Invincible is my Favorite comic and I think the first 12 issues would make an amazing movie. I've never been into DragonBall so...

Yeah Invincible was definitely something special while reading the series from start to finish it was really a great series. It was extraordinary it did go full-blown Dragon Ball Z at times and it was epic as hell. It was just crazy like volume one was really good then all of a sudden it just goes from 10 to 60 within the first several issues man it's nuts.

Exactly what i was thinking Phie! :D

Love these videos. I was out of comics for a long time so it's good to get the real word on great stories I missed. Keep preaching the gospel!

Definitely my favourite comic series I’ve read so far. Robot was my favourite character and I love the direction they took him through the story

Who else ordered the whole series to read because of the Amazon show?

About dam time you read this. One of the best runs ever. Corey walker only drew a handful of books in the beginning and at the end.

Been hearing about this comic for years and never thought to read it, I’m a few issues in now and it’s amazing, thanks for the suggestion gem 💎 💯

I finished reading this today after your suggestion and man it's so good. The way it ends with Thragg and Rex just wow.

Damn, Gem! With a review like that I’ve got to read it! I had all 12 hardcovers but traded them for something else. Read the first two volumes while I had them and thought it was good ...I guess I should have stuck with it. Just bought all 3 compendiums in hardcover from Kirkman’s store, Skybound. I’d much rather have the story across three omnibus size books. Love your reviews for their honesty and details. Thanks, brother!

Thanks for the review. I haven't read invincible and have always really wanted to (even when it first started back in the 00s) your video did a great job convincing me. Keep up the good work.

Now to assuage my OCD and provide relief for the twitch I got from watching this, you need to buy the other OHCs so everything matches. Great video man! Glad you read this. I got rid of mine a few years ago but recently re-purchased them. Great character depth; I fell into this story and would get lost reading it. I would burn through a OHC before I realized it. Great f'in run. Art is fantastic (Ottley is on Spider-Man now). You can see Ottley's art improve as the story goes on. I also like the fact that it ends. One complete closed loop story. Great book and my favorite series. Great Video man!

Like you, I own the first 8 Ultimate Editions but haven't read them yet. After seeing this I gotta Check it out.

Glad you did yourself a favor and read this epic series!!!! Definitely by far my favorites series all time. still depressed it ended at 144.

I just ordered the first hard cover book, can't wait for it to come, great review as usual man, thanks. Btw I hadn't read comics for years, since I was a kid, you got me back into comics bro.

I’ve always been intrigued by this series, I think I’ll have to give it a try. Awesome video Gem 💎

Glad u ur giving this some shine. So underrated. I'm only up thru like issue 100 or something but I read it on a recommendation from a friend who hyped it hard. Does not disappoint. Anyone who is looking for something non dc or marvel should really check this out. It gets u hooked and picks up quick.

Had no idea compendiums existed, adding them to the wishlist for sure.

Read/Own every single issue...loved it from start to finish!! Glad you gve it a chance...sounds like it did not disappoint!

Nice to see this underrated series getting more love. Also I'm glad someone acknowledge all the shots invincible takes at the comic industry😂😂😂

I like Invincible because it allows the characters to grow and have the story progress and evolve unlike more popular comics that no matter how much they change, it reverts back to the status quo. Invincible is up there on my favorite comic runs. The story never becomes borring and the characters all do great stuff. Trully a page turner.

Absolutely. When it ends, IT ENDS. Not return in some race/sex swapped edition 10 years later.

Hadn't even heard of this, but you talked me into buying the compendiums.

Ive always think that the viltrumites is based on thr saiyans, race of warrior, prone to violence and rage, all of them have black hair? Check check check Invincible is my top favorite superhero book 👍

One of my favourite series, love the review gem as always!

So stoked you read this! There's a bunch of spin offs in the same universe too: an atom eve mini, Brit, Capes, tech jacket, invincible universe, and astounding wolf man I think.... Unfortunately, none are in OHC format. :/

great run and review. also yeah viltrum reminds me of planet vegeta,with them being *spoilers*

Great review as always Gem, got me wanting to start this run once I finish this Uncanny Avengers omni. Just a quick recommendation, you should read/review Hitman by Garth Ennis. It's set in the DC universe so you have this guy interacting with all the big DC characters like Batman, Superman, and more. I think you'd like it if you haven't already read it. Anyways keep up the fantastic videos

I remember just coming across a image on google and I was instantly hooked. The first comic that got me into comics. I love Invincible

I just copped all 3 Compendiums. Those MONSTERS are heavy and beautiful.

Would you be kind enough to make a review video of Frank Miller's Ronin and the Green Arrow Golden age Omnibus, please? Also, could you throw in the Swamp Thing Bronze Age omnibus, too, please?

My favorite Comic of all time. Great Review Gem. Love the DBZ comparison.

Just finished it, honestly has to be one of my favorite stories ever.

Damn, that bookshelf in the back is what I live for lmao

Ryan Ottley and Cory Walker, with what he's done in that book (especially the last issue), has bolstered them to the top of my artist list.

Man these review really makes me want to read this!

I finish the first compendium and I loved it, but never got to finish buying the rest of the compendiums. After watching your video I’m go back to get the rest of the compendiums.

Finished reading a couple months ago and remember waiting to read b4 watching..better late than never

How does it feel to be on to something ahead of the time? I have one question: When can we expect the 2nd season on Amazon Prime?

Gotta wait till July to get my comics. Ugh that waitin list is no joke.

I had a similar experience. I bought the first compendium on a whim. I think I had seen someone suggest it on KZread. Anyhow I was like well I'll read the first couple issues and check it out. I read the whole thing In two sittings. Then I bought the second compendium and did the same thing. I loved this series so much I went ahead and bought the hardcovers. And ryan Otley is criminally underrated.

This series always gave me a strong 90s vibe. It felt to me at times like it had a mix of something like the original Gen 13 meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Finally! I’m glad you read it. My favorite comic of all time

"Like Peter Parker with Superman powers" THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO!! Which is why I love Invincible, it has some similar values as what made Spiderman so great, like Peter Mark also struggles to balance his human life and his superhero life which makes Amber similar to Mary Jane.

Def one of the best of all time. The only thing is that it builds equally. Which means its hard to grab one volume or even one arc and say you got the best of it. You really gotta go start to finish.

I just finished Invincible for the first time and your video really captures how I feel about it. Now to figure out how to get my friends to read it. You definitely earned a new subscriber!

I enjoyed the review but just to explain, you only need the 3 compendiums on the left for the whole story. The "Invincible universe" had some spin off stuff but nothing too crucial to the over all story. The compendiums are roughly $50 dollars a piece, having read this series, it's absolutely worth it. You'll try to make other people read it it's that good.

It is very cool. Love the channel bro

Just copped the ultimate collection 1-12 I’m hyped.

Damn, making want to get this collection now!

Nice vídeo! I bought the compendium, because it will never be published in Brazil, unfortunately kkkkkkkk

I might not only end up rewatching the first animated season but also grab the 3 big C editions which collects the entire run.

A lot of people say that TWD is Kirkmans magnum opus, I hardly disagree with that. Also I should really re-read this master piece

“Peter Parker with Superman powers at a Dragon Ball Z scale”. That’s probably the best description I’ve heard for this comic.

Boy.... The Earth had to have like 12 people left on in by the time of the final battle 🤣

12:39 … BROOO, i finished this invincible run last night and before going to bed i randomly, RANDOMLY, started watching Dragon Ball Kai, when Raditz is introduced and gives the whole background on Saiyans and i was like “this sounds a little like Viltrumites” lol… overall, amazing run, i LOVED invincible 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeah the evil race is very DBZ vegeta

Seen several reviews about the Invincible, makes me want to have them all! So I went to add them first on wishlist, only to find out that comixology doesn't ship to the Philippines 😥. Btw, Invincible is available from vol 1 - 25.

I wish Marvel and DC pulled off some of the storytelling we see in Invincible, the no holds barred way Kirkman tells stories without pulling his punches is great.

@socriabbas454

I mean he did took some few ideas and inspirations from both MCU and DC without the existing superheros before Invincible, Invincible wouldn't be that great but I'm glad the comics took some inspiration that is easy to follow and mash it together to build something new and original.

Who doesn’t love invincible I’ve only gotten through the first compendium and I love it

This was such a great book to read after I read The Boys (a book that I hated), not realizing at the time that it was ripping off Invincible.

Movie 1 : Omni man vs. mark arc Movie 2 : Mark vs. angstrom Movie 3 : Mark vs. Conquest and invincible war Movie 4/5 : Viltrumite war

X-Men is my favorite comic “universe,” but INVINCIBLE is easily my favorite single comic series of all time. Excellent storytelling & world building, and best of all, its DYNAMIC. The story progresses with no resets or reboots, and every event sticks & has permanent consequences.

Another 💎 production.
