Invincible (2003 Image) 8 FN/VF 7.0

Signed by Robert Kirkman. No autograph certification is included.

(W) Robert Kirkman (A) Ryan Ottley FC 32pp $2.95 Monthly Ongoing series. 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: Everything has changed, and Mark Grayson doesn't know what to do. In this issue, Invincible gets to attend his first star-studded superhero funeral... featuring guest appearances from all your favorite Image Universe superheroes. To make matters worse, it seems trouble is brewing here at the cemetery. It's a good thing all those heroes are on hand to help... because Mark is in NO condition to be fighting any battles on his own. Cover price $2.95.
