Got this and a lot more for Christmas from my wife and wya. I also got the two piece Battle Beast that Ryan shared on Twitter original art, some layouts for covers like #49 and #53 and the page where Nolan first sees Debbie when he got back to Earth and they talk.

must be nice. (thumbs u

Hey, Invincible family! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all yall! Hope we all get mad Invincible loot from Santa!

I absolutely love the sketchbook section in the trades. I've got a lot of the art discussed in those pages. Cool seeing the progress and insight put into all that.

EDIT: actually, the sketchbook section is where Ive seen one of my ISO pages. When the alternate Invincibles were introduced, there's a page with 16 different Invincibles, which I got. It's the unused version that I want. So sweet.

Good on ya, Mike. Steppin up the Invincible collection. Nice scores. Those sketchbooks are a treat.

I kinda wanted the Haunt run but I didn't like that they were all signed. Not sure about the Invincible run though.

Yeah, I was shocked my wife got something from Karl Malone.

Yeah! The Mailman delivers!

Not everyone has a CAF page.

 

But I got a package today from Utah..... Well my wife did..... So I can't open it for a week.

thats true, but, id have to think that most people wanna share their art, right? congrats on the early gift. wish my wife got a package from Utah.

the buyer wants to remain anonymous? whatever.

Anyone know who snagged the $5K double spash or the 115 cover?

Won't find em in my collection. I have been watching CAF though to see if it gets claimed. Could've been Kirkman?

All my Ottley art is in a storage unit since my place in SF is so small. I miss it. I get to see it in a few days.

..........and sell it to Rob.

so, the tease for 118 had everyone all happy lovey family flying around on the cover. i know how the books covers are often different than the content, but, if mark and fam do set up on another planet, when (you know it'll happen) they return to earth at some point, will anissa have marks child by then? it'll probably be a boy. id have to think she was able to conceive a child when she banged marks brains out, even if it was only once. thats all it takes sometimes. we now know that thragg has a zillion kids, which will probably grow at an accelerated rate like oliver, but, where will anissas baby fit into this? hmmmmmmm.

I gotta say, even with as dynamic as the pencils are, the inks really pop off the page on this paper stock! Wowza! Nice score, Mike, big congrats, they're fantastic!

I got some invincible related mail today... pictures coming soon.

tease!!!

Hooray, art share!

Thanks, guys! That's perfect. Guess I'm still a few short.

Hey, do you guys have a link where I can find a complete list of all the invincible variants (2nd prints and such)? I went back a dozen or so pages but couldn't find it. Straightening things out. Thanks.

Wonder if Mark's kid will grow up and turn to the dark side. Sorta like Omni-Man v. invincible in reverse

 

So many possibilities

Just outta curiosity, what/who at this point would you consider "dark side"? Thragg is really all I can think of. That dudes got an army to train already.

I guess it couldn't hurt to buy 80 of them

whoa, whoa, whoa!

Talked to my LCS just now and ordered 40 additional copies to hand out at the shop! Woohoo! Christmas in March!

Is this a jumping on point?

It sure looks like it. Who's gonna pass up a book for 1/4 of a dollar? Be interesting to see how many copies get printed. It's a great marketing idea.

yeah, Invincible doesn't have the instant name recognition

 

Who were the Guardians of the Galaxy 18 months ago?

 

If it's awesome, people will come.

Couldn't agree more. Just like GOTG, there's gonna be a risk involved, but, I think it'd have a similar outcome. Because GOTG was so successful, Marvel is capitalizing with their future phases. I would absolutely love to see Kirkman utilize the whole Invincible universe in this fashion. So much potential.

Glad you got it then.

Wow. Baby factory page sold fast! That's the one I wanted the most.

id think the kind of cartoon that invincible would be, could work on FX or even AMC. i suppose that one of the premium networks (HBO, SHO, etc) would work also.

Do you really think an R Rated Invincible could do well on the big screen?

ultra violence. hell yes. a guy can dream, can't he?

while a depiction of violence can garner a PG rating, anything with intense and persistent violence will draw an R rating. not sure where the MPAA stands on PG-13 violence. the kid playing Barry Allen on The Flash should've been Invincible.

A live action Invincible isn't feasible. They would need Marvel money to spend on cgi .

An animated version would likely be easier to do but it could only be aired on Cartoon Network late at night. Hell, it'd probably better off in Japan as an anime and then coming back to the States. A series like this has the potentiometer to be the American Dragon Ball Z.

aw man, i hope not. cannot stand anime. why would it have to be on Cartoon Network? i guess id be ok with an animated series, but, id prefer live action. if it was a series of films, say a trilogy, the budget would be a lot more, especially if you got another production company to help out Skybound. Dreamworks and Universal have that kind of money and as far as i know, aren't tied into the Marvel/DC universes.
