Shorty Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I just got invincible volume 3. And I am disappointed. And I haven't even opened it yet. Why the hell is it about 1/3 of the size of volumes 1 and 2?? It looks like the equivalent of 1, maybe 2 of the paperback volumes! I found a round-about way of saving £10 on this purchase, so it only cost me about £8. And it's a good job! If I had paid full price for this, I'd be pissed. Here's hoping the content makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 isn't it the same number of issues? *sadface* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hm o_o still haven't opened it, wikipedia claims it's the same number of issues... * Invincible Ultimate Collection Hardcover Vol. 1 (collects #1-13, plus extras) * Invincible Ultimate Collection Hardcover Vol. 2 (collects #14-24, #1/2, #0, parts of #25, plus extras) * Invincible Ultimate Collection Hardcover Vol. 3 (Collects #25-35, The Pact #4, plus extras) * Invincible Ultimate Collection Hardcover Vol. 4 (Collects #36-47, plus extras) Could it really be packed into half the physical size? Maybe I should actually open it and see :/ Edit: I think the pages are thinner... they're a bit more see-through. I may have jumped the gun a little here.

Molly Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Edit: I think the pages are thinner... they're a bit more see-through. I may have jumped the gun a little here. The pages are thinner!! I remember saying that to ReZ when I read it. Budget cuts I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yeah, the pages are thinner they used crappier paper. Don't worry though, the content is immense. READ AND POST ASAP. If they have/when they do a second printing, if its with thicker paper I might re-buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 No. So Molly is in my bad books. I got up on my "comics are for children" high horse thingy yesterday, and was talking about Killing Joke. And Joker gives the photos to her dad, Commissioner Gordon. Ewww sick. Yeah, pretty bad. Are Batman and Batwoman siblings? ........Batman the guy who became Batman because his parents were murdered. Etc. Not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Lol, you still love me. It was funny when you walked out the pub in a huff! Hahah. Yes. I go to great lengths for my comedy. The bar guy was outside stacking chairs, and he looked at me as I stopped when I got out of view of you (obviously) and I was like "Its for effect." :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Shooree teeaaaa have you readddd. A light but awesome week for me this week. I might be tempted by a graphic novel if I see one. Hmmm. In awesome news Ryan Ottley has been announced as penciler on Kirkman and MacFarlanes "Haunt". Its going to be fucking awesome. Also Marvel are fucking things up by having a Young Avengers mini series with completely new Young Avengers, and a new creative team. Coudln't be more pissed off.

Paj! Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I hate Mcfarlane art. It's so completely shit. I don't think it's shit, I just don't really like it. It's a bit too formless...like it's not quite definite. Can't really describe it. It's like cartoony realism, rather than just one or the other. My least favourite art was the guy did New X-Men after Frank Quitley (), you couldn't tell what was going on, it was so gloopy and rubbish. He also did stuff on X-treme X-Men too. Why was he hired?! EDIT: Igor Kordey. That's it. Google Images suggests he's better than his New X-Men stuff was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 What the hell is this? In awesome news Ryan Ottley has been announced as penciler on Kirkman and MacFarlanes "Haunt". Its going to be fucking awesome. HAUNT What we know -They story is based around 2 brothers -Brother 1: was a CIA agent, he stole his brothers girlfriend then married her, he dies and decieds to haunt his brother -Brother 2: after losing his girlfriend to his borther he becomes a catholic preist, he is described as being "wimpy", after his brothers death he begins to console his brothers widow / and his ex-girlfriend -Combined: When dead Brother 1 haunts Brother 2 he realizes he can manifest his ectoplasmic powers through his brother into the physical world forming a "ectoplasmic shell" and forming the superhero HAUNT however when they are in a combined state the dead Brother 1 drains energy out his living Brother so they can can not stay combined for in the superhero form too long -1st Story Arc: Haunt must solve the murder of Brother 1 LUlzzzzzzz. Yeah I'm not big on MacFarlane art either. BTW Inv Vol 4 has been delayed. Again. Original solicitation date was August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey gets arrested uh-oh. MENACES identity in white. Lilly Yowza. About to read Secret Warriors and Iron Man. <3 ok so is macfarlane drawing this one too or is it this other dude rez mentioned? That other dude ReZ mentioned? Ryan Ottley....Invincible! How (Dan) dare you! *Slap* Yeah hes pencilling, Todd is only doing the inking, so he can't fuck it up too much. The pic above is all Todd though. http://uk.comics.ign.com/articles/952/952304p1.html DC panel at NYCC. Sounds pretty good. Love how Dan Didio was wearing all the GL t-shirts, read it its cool. Lots of answers were "Blackest Night" like to Aquaman and Blue Beetle etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 ohhhhhh right hey, that's actually pretty cool I guess. isn't he...already doing a job on Invincible though? I think Invincible is currently at the top of my list for comic art atm. The colour is just so fucking good and it really brings out the slick pencils- all bold, clean lines and broard expression. It's ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
