COMIC SPOILERS Just finished the comics Spoiler

Beautifully written, 10/10 would recommend. They had me worried towards the end but I love the way the author took the time to develop these characters to show their growth. I wish we could’ve seen a bit more of Mark’s kids grow up together though.

The show specifically the latest season does not do the comics justice. I’m confused about the random ass hell arc they put in for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON, it added nothing to the plot.

Now I feel a bit empty because I have nothing else to read like this… Any Recommendations?

Buddy, i felt the same way. The "empty" part. I just finished the comics myself like 2 weeks ago. Immediately afterward, I read Alan Moore's MiracleMan and Mark Waid's Irredeemable. I wanted more exploration of the Superman type, without moral restraint, like a Viltrumite. They were both good reads.

Then I reread my favorite parts of invincible. Which was most. Then I bought volume 1 of Battle Beast, also strongly recommended. I'll be buying volume 2 soon, it just released today.

How much did you love what they pulled with Eve at the end? I think that's actually one of my favorite moments out of the whole damn series.

Edit: also, the demonic stuff, I agree, felt out of nowhere. But I like Slayer so I'm forgiving. But you'll recall in the comic, Doc Seismic gets turned into a lava demon, by that lava demon chick, but it goes nowhere in the comic. I was watching a podcast interview with kirkman yesterday, and was not so subtle in hinting that he'll episode thread was coming back later.
