Invincible 100 Spec

[RaFonaRaFona]

Do you think Invincible 100 will ever be worth more than cover? If so, which cover will be the big winner?

Shouldnt let others speculate for you

[Invincifans]

I doubt it. Not many issues of Invincible go for over cover. The 1:100 should settle around 35-50 I'd guess and the comixology a little more.

One day these comics will be worth so much! The most under rated title in comics and Robert Kirkman's best work.

I would like to revisit this thread. Is this the last Invincible? I see invincible universe is coming out.

 

[ThoseBackPages]

No, Invincible is going at least 200 issues

[jjoseph7772]

so invincible universe is what exactly? Is that a spinoff, ongoing, mini?

From Kirkman...

 

Guarding the Globe which is on issue 5 is ending and turning into Invincible Universe.

 

And it's expanding, as "Guarding the Globe" is becoming "Invincible Universe." How much of a guiding force are you for that book? Are you working closely with Phil Hester?

 

Storing all 100 issues of "Invincible" on his iPad allows Kirkman to keep track of every character in the series

Sean Mackiewicz is the editor; I would probably be the story editor. I go over Phil's plots. From time to time, I'll say "Hey, this is a thing I intended to do in 'Invincible' but I never got around to it." A lot of the things you'll be getting in that book, and have been getting in "Guarding the Globe" thus far, are things that I always meant to get around to in "Invincible," but because of the different storylines and everything going on, we just didn't have room for it. It is a cool way to get more Invincible stories.

 

As far as the switch from "Guarding the Globe" to "Invincible Universe," coming out of "Invincible" #100, it changes the world in such a way that having a separate book that just focuses on the Guardians of the Globe didn't really seem like the right thing to do. There's a lot of different characters and a lot of different things in play.

 

Also, we didn't want to be beholden to telling stories about that team at all times. There's a lot of different corners of the Invincible Universe that either don't involve the Guardians of the Globe or don't involve multiple members of that team, so this is a cool way to do a series that's a much truer sister book to the "Invincible" series. We can have an issue that just focuses on Cecil and gives you some pertinent information about him and who he is and what his deal is in a way that we never really had room to do in the "Invincible" series. I think it's going to be a really cool book and Phil and Todd are really kicking butt on it.

I am reading this series in tpb format and am way behind. I flicked through #100 today in the shop and was very impressed at how much the art has gradually improved throughout the run.

 

I liked the art anyway, but it is even better now. I'm Looking forward to getting caught up on this title.

[jjoseph7772]

That is why i am here as well. I read 100 and it was pretty damned good. First time i ever read anything invincible related. Just wondering if this is a good jumping on point.

[Tuff Ghost]

I'd say you could start here if you wanted to but I'd still highly recommend starting with #1 as you'd be missing out on some crazy moments. At the very least go back and read the first 3-4 trades. I can almost guarantee if you do you won't stop.

 

I don't think it would take you that long as I find Invincible to be an easy read.

[ThoseBackPages]

yea, totally worth it.

 

that compendium is what got me addicted

[Wushugushu]

I bought the compendium first then went on to buy 50-97 in trades/hc

I cant decide if I want to start reading post 100 in issues. Series reads really well in trades

[ThoseBackPages]

honestly, i have no idea how people can wait six months to read something they love

+1

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Invincible is the next "Walking Dead" in terms of value.

 

1. The story is great.

2. The art is great.

3. Long ongoing series that has proven it's not a flash in the pan.

4. It already has a following of loyal fans (It's personally my favorite comic)

5. Invinicble #1 CGC 9.8 is already a $400 book WITHOUT any movie/TV show hype at all. Just on it's own merits. How much was WD #1 CGC 9.8 before the TV show? About $300 to $400.

 

If it ever does get a movie/TV show....

 

I don't see that happening soon, but once the Walking Dead TV shows ends, I see Kirkman doing an Invincible movie. It's his other baby so to speak, and he'll want to continue doing Hollywood stuff after WD ends. He's got that itch, and knows how successful it can be. Plus, studios will want his next project.

[Invincifans]

Invincible's in the first 13 issues are extremely rare for their potential. Issue 10 print run dipped as low as 5500. I've bought, and will keep buying as many copies of that segment of the series as long as I can.
