(W) Robert Kirkman (A) Cory Walker (Cover) Cory Walker & Bill Crabtree. FC 32pp $2.95 Ongoing monthly series In stores the week of July 9th THE CONCEPT: Mark Grayson is just like most everyone else his age. He's a senior at a normal American high School. He has a crappy part time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit... but doesn't quite understand them. He enjoys hanging out with his friends, and sleeping late on Saturdays... at least until the good cartoons come on. The only difference between Mark and everyone else is that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and as of late, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. Which sounds okay at first, but how do you follow in your father's footsteps when you know you will never live up to his standards? THIS ISSUE: Mark and his good buddy, William go on a trip to Upstate University to see if they want to attend college there next year. All seems to be going well, they spend the day touring dorms, meeting faculty and checking out all the hot college chicks. The only problem is something has gone wrong at Upstate... something terribly wrong. Luckily for them the world's coolest new superhero, Invincible, is on hand to save their bacon. This stand-alone story is a perfect jumping on point for new readers, a great opportunity to find out what all the buzz is about! Cover price $2.95.

How long has it been since any of us really NEEDED something that we WANTED? The world we knew is gone.

How did things get so bad so fast? How will things ever return to normal after everything he's seen? From the guys behind BATTLE POPE and BRIT comes something COMPLETELY different. Cover price $2.95.
