Invincible #61

Alright, let me just say that I love this series. Invincible has to be one of my favorite non-Marve or non-DC character. Let me also say that due to some pull list problems I didn't catch that last couple issues of Invincible so I'm a little bit behind.

So we start off with the aftermath of the Invincible War. Some people are blaming Invincible on the news for the attack and deaths of so many people. Savage Dragon basically tells the news reports to stop being stupid and watch the tapes. They would find footage of Invincible fighting against his evil dopplegangers. While this is going on Mark is at the hospital with Eve, who by my guess was injured during the attack and is in critical condition. Cecil shows up through a "door" and informs Mark that they need his help. He then tells her that he is moving his men here to look after Eve and that her parents are on the way.

When Invincible makes the scene to help with clean up, he is attacked by Powerplex. He is quickly taken down by the surrounding heroes and taken into Cecil's custody. Oliver tells Mark not to blame himself, but Mark keeps letting the guilt get to him. Mark then goes to see Eve one more time, just so he can have someone he can talk to. But when her parents show up, he quickly leaves.

A meeting is soon held by Cecil to make a new Guadians of the Globe. He first asks Invincible to lead this new team, but Invincible quickly turns it down. So Brit is offered the position, while Invincible leaves to head back to clean up duty. As Mark is working to find any survivors from the battle a Viltrumite appears before him. He calls himself Conquest, and told Invincible that he has come to see his progress. And if Invincible gets in his way, he will kill him. Invincible in anger tells him that with everything that has just happend the only thing he has wanted was something that he can hit.  So the pair charge into to battle with each other.

Alright, I have to say I loved the issue. I really like the art for the Invincible series. I like whats going with the series. The crossover of the image characters. Just the whole thing was really great. If you ever thought about getting into Invincible now would be the time. I can tell this thing with Conquest is going to be huge!

Highlights:

• Atom Eve - Ok so she is clearly in a bad state. Her parents are by her side now, but what is Invincible going to do if something happens to her? I mean she the one he can tell stuff to. Through his whol Invincible War, even though she can't hear him, she is the one he has been going to to get stuff off his chest.
• Guadians of the Globe - So they are having a new roster. Brit is going to be leading them, and it sounds like the rest of the team will be Robot, Black Samson, Bulletproof, and Monster Girl.
• Conquest - He is one old Virtumite, and one that looks like he has seen a lot of battle. This is going to be bad for Invincible. The Virtumite age slower as they get older, and the way this guy looks he is going to be very very old. That means he has a lot of experience. Invincible also isn't old enough to have the full strength of a Virtumite, which means he is not only outclasses experience wise, but probably physically too.
