Version 2.5, August 2003.

1st Edition - Volume 1 - 1st Printing. "Family Matters!" Collects Invincible (2003) #1-4.

Written by ROBERT KIRKMAN. Art by Cory Walker. Cover by Cory Walker and Bill Crabtree. Introduction by Kurt Busiek.

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? Get in on the ground floor, because it all starts here! Strange things begin to happen to Mark Grayson as he begins to develop superpowers. Luckily, his dad is around to show him the ropes, at least he WOULD be if he weren't so busy saving the world all the time.

Mark is forced to go out on his own, and try and figure out how all this superheroing business works. The results are a monumental disaster, at least until he gets the hang of it. Watch Mark thwart thieving super-villains, alien invasions and all sorts of craziness.

lncludes all kinds of production art, unused story pages, and sketches.

Softcover, 120 pages, full color.

(W) Josh Blaylock (P) Tim Seeley (I) Cory Hamscher (Cover) Tim Seeley and Cory Hamscher FC 32pp $2.95 Monthly In stores the week of August 6th. THE CONCEPT: Alex Crane has spent much of his life dodging responsibility. But when a big mistake curses him with the power of the Mantikore, Alex has the weight of two worlds on his shoulders. Alex is sent to a strikingly familiar fantasy world of elves, dwarves and vampires, but one key element is gone. Magic. A stranger in a strange land, and a strange powerful body, Alex must escape from those that would exploit his dark powers. THIS ISSUE: First there was an Ogre's farm filled with "evil" chickens, then a vampire motorcycle gang, and now Alexander Crane finds himself sleeping in a "Gentlemen's Club" for trolls and fairies. Thanks to Molli, a Sprite willing to offer sarcastic advice, Alex is able to at least hold on to his sanity, and learn about this strange world. Even the strongest of minds break down eventually, though, and Alex is hardly the strongest. It's only when he remembers that his Girlfriend, Mandy, is probably in danger thanks to him, that he pulls himself together and prepares to face the Archean head on. Little does he know that the very magicians that helped him on Earth have sent the deadly RAKSHASA to watch over her. This mysterious woman's role is to see that the Archean not use Mandy against Alex, even if it means KILLING her. Cover price $2.95.
