For those who are uninitiated, "Invincible", by Robert Kirkman, is what I and many others (including the author himself), consider one of the best modern comics being released at the moment. It takes a hero who is as powerful as Superman, but gives him the origin story of Spider-Man, letting the reader grow and understand the character as extensively as they can with such characters as Peter Parker. Though you may be thinking, "What's so special about Superman growing up?", well... if you'd let me finish, you'd understand better.

You see, at this point in time, Robert Kirkman is one of the most popular writers in the comic book industry, and in addition to this, he's not even a famous name from either Marvel or DC Comics - he got his start with "third party" (but certainly not unknown) Image Comics. You see, Kirkman's success is not due to his big name, or his attachment to already established names. The simple fact is that the story that is interwoven with Invincible is a long, winding, and involved one that spans the entirety of the series. Though the first few issues seemed to possess a much more all-ages approach, as the series progresses, the tale becomes much more grim and mature, seeming to follow the pattern of the main character's life. For those who are both new to comics, or looking for something new, I highly recommend "Invincible".
