Time to fight back!
My review for Invincible #112. Invincible has gone through a lot lately, but things are going to be changing real soon!
The Good
So to summarize all that's happened recently, Robot has snapped and has decided to take over the world! Writer Robert Kirkman did an outstanding job with this issue! Continuing with the momentum he's already created in prior issues, Kirkman is setting things up for Invincible to finally fight back against Robot. I'm really enjoying what Robert Kirkman is doing with the characters in this story arc, and really taking things to a new and different place! This story arc revolving around Robot wanting to take over the world and make it a better place, really puts him in an awkward situation with his former friends/teammates. That is really the heart, or core, of this story arc and it gives a good opportunity for the characters to grow in different ways that could not be achieved with any other adversary!
This issue's story was really great because we finally get to see Invincible and Eve's new born child [a girl]. While Invincible and his new family aren't out of the woods yet, because Robot is willing to do anything to accomplish his goals, I fear for what may happen. But that's all a part of the experience! This fear, or concern, of not knowing what will happen to these characters is a great feeling, and it really adds to the emotional drama that is found throughout each issue. (Especially this one!) Plus, seeing Robot execute his plans for world domination is quite amazing to see, and Robert Kirkman handles it nicely with blending it with the emotional drama.
The Bad
My only problem is that this issue ended.
The Verdict
5 out of 5, until the next issue. I hate having to wait an entire month for another issue, can't I have it now?
