Invincible: The Ultimate Collection Volume 5
By Frank R. Anderson "Sluffmo" (Austin, TX)
Here's the lowdown. I loved all of the Ultimate Collections, but this one was just lacking overall compared to the others. Don't get me wrong... It's still worth checking out, but nothing really happens.
The whole Doc Seismic plot line felt a lot more like an advertisement for other comics than anything else. I'm all for crossovers, but not when there isn't any meat to it.
There are a couple of short stories as well. One is from the Astounding Wolfman, but if you read those books you'll already have read it. Another is about Allen the Alien and Omni-man in prison, and the last is about Invincible in the future. They are more filler than anything.
The rest is just set up for the big events that come after this. If it wasn't a year or so between the Ultimate Collections I wouldn't mind, but it is so I'm disappointed.
All that being said... the art and writing overall is still great. It has definitely gotten me excited for what's to come.
