Invincible #51
Review by mrmister:
story ROBERT KIRKMAN
art RYAN OTTLEY & BILL CRABTREE
cover JIM LEE & BILL CRABTREE
Size: 32 Pages
Price: $2.99
This is the first issue of Invincible I've ever read. For a long time I have wanted to start buying the hardcover collections and get caught up on this title, but when I heard this issue was a great jumping on point I couldn't resist picking it up. While the book was not as new reader friendly as I would have hoped I was still able to enjoy it without feeling completely lost. It was a fun quick read that I would recommend to anyone even slightly interested in super-hero comics. The art while not my favorite style to look at fits the feel of this particular book perfectly. After reading this I think I'm going to be ordering those hardcovers sooner than I had anticipated. I know this book has had problems shipping on time so hopefully I'll be able to read the previous 50 issues before #52 hits stores.

I was just basing that statement off of things Kirkman said himself in the letters column of this issue. But hopefully for me there is some time in between so I can get caught up ha!

Good enough review that I might pick this up. Aw, gosh, do I really need another book?

certainly the final page reveal would suck for a new reader - but if you've been going along, it's a real shocker.

I think a bit too much has been made of this book's shipping schedule. It's been late a few times. But it has, for the most part, come out pretty consistantly.
