I am pretty much loving this. Best thing is that it broke me out of my Invincible melancholy.

Once the series ended, I just put it aside and haven't read it since. I loved the series and have read the first 100 or so almost countless times. Used to be a fixture on the Image comics board discussing it and Walking Dead.

My passion has been rekindled and I am going to do a full series re-read, including the tangentially related ones and Brit which was always a fave of mine.

It's going to be a fun walk down memory lane and I am looking very much forward to it.

Episode 8 will be a heartbreaker if it is the epic Nolan/Mark beatdown.

Going through the comics again as well. It’s actually surprising just how much tamer the Battle Beast fight is in the comics.

I reread the series to get ready for the show. Kirkman really improved on the story for the adaptation. Early comic was kinda bloody but not as much as the later issues, they seem to have gone full on violence since the beginning for the show. I like it.

The gore is the best part of the new Invincible TV show. The Omni Man vs GOTG fight and now the Battle Beast fight
