Yeah, I'm only like 5 issues in, but I kind of hate the art in Invincible. At the end of issue 3 there's this horrific looking 3D poser rendition of the main character that made me laugh out loud. I actually like Kirkman, but the writing isn't doing much for me either. It's just really lazy; I'm already sick of every issue having a gag where his mom goes "that's nice, dear" after he relates some incredible experience. Like, I loving get it. Does it improve much?

I can't even remember the joke you are talking about so I guess that at least goes the way of the dodo.

To be honest Invincible stops being "fun" pretty quickly, so these panels are kind of less accurate than you'd think to the feel of the book. It gets incredibly depressing and incredibly violent and the general tone is less "teen superhero" and more "optimistic person gradually crushed and destroyed by reality."

Yeah, that's why I'd never recommend the book. If you like seeing people strangle each other with their intestines, it's great, but other than that, steer clear.

Towards the end, though, there's a lot of "I live in a terrible situation so I'm going to try my damnedest to make a functional existence out of this."

Am I missing some special nozzles he's using or is his plan to combine the different gases that were in his lungs into a wall-busting super gas even though that same mixture would already exist in his breath? quote:

I love how that story ends. The guy steals state secrets using the glasses and then gets in a small plane to fly to a foreign country to sell them:  "Oh, I can't see a thing, but I've been piloting this vessel for a few weeks anyway. It's not like the glasses are subtle, how did you miss that I wasn't wearing them anyway?"

  If you know anything about John Carter you'd know what's so funny about this. In the novels John Carter was specifically described as running around naked the entire time he was on Barsoom.

 Wait... why did he specifically ask for TOY balloons? No no no, this just raises further questions!

Exactly, as a kid if I saw an issue with some crazy poo poo on the cover, I just HAD to know how it worked out/made sense on the inside.

The story is going somewhere fast and the art has drastically improved. Though I do think it's really weird how one of the characters is literally Rorschach, plus several other weird pastiches showing up like April O'Neil and principal Michael Winslow. I kind of dig it though, since if nothing else, it's really creative. I'll stop derailing, but yeah, it's good.

Is that the part of Cerebus that coincided with Dave Sim going off his rocker? I've never read Cerebus (though I've often thought I might like to) but I've heard it ended up becoming a vehicle for Sim's intense misogyny.

I've never read Cerebus (though I've often thought I might like to) but I've heard it ended up becoming a vehicle for Sim's intense misogyny. That's part of what's considered the high point of the series (High Society through Jaka's Story). That said, that panel is typical of Cerberus's character; he's a misanthropic, amoral, violent, drunk rear end in a top hat. It's an interesting series to read the first half of anyway. Reads (#175 or so on) is where Dave's hit the deep end, and writes a essay by a fictional character depicting the emotional female void and creative male light and then much later on to remove all doubts he writes another one about the feminist/homosexualist axis.
