- had to wait a while for this one. and waiting builds expectations, and built expectations lead to letdowns.
- art looks great, as usual.
- i was seriously annoyed by the THREE PAGES of plugs for other image books. quite honestly? i don't care at all about savage dragon, about brit, or any of these other people, and i'm annoyed when pages are taken from a book a like feature characters who, to me, have no meaning. it's not like a superman cameo, where everyone knows what he's all about, even if they don't read their book - i have no clue who brit is, or wolfman, and so their presence is just baffling to me.
- this book felt really thin - it felt even shorter than a normal comic. i suppose it's because some threads are being planted - rick dealing with his past and the agency's relationship with oliver and mark's mom are planted as issues. but the rest of the book was essentially "bad guy makes trouble," and i expect a little more from this book than that.
- honestly, it's probably not that it was bad. it's just that it's been a while, and i had hoped for something a little more interesting than this after that time. but i guess kirkman's holding his cards a bit for issue 50. so i still love you, invincible.

I felt very much the same way that you did about this. I was extremely annoyed that we’ve had to wait extra time for the issue to come out, and then to have 3 pages dedicated not to advancing the story line at all, but rather to half-page spreads of other Image books I should be buying was extremely obnoxious. I spent $3 for THIS book, I want THIS story line advanced. I’m just getting bothered that Kirkman seems to be so eagerly building towards big happenings in issue #50, but is just plodding through seemingly inane crap to get to that point rather than building any real tension. It seems obvious that the next big story point is going to be Allen and Omni-Man fighting to freedom, and some sort of reunification with Invincible, but I’m getting extremely sick of that story being advanced by a few panels every couple of issues. This sort of teasing doesn’t work in comics as far as I’m concerned because the wait between issues is to long. And that’s if the book were released monthly, but with issues coming out at best every couple of months it’s extremely bothersome to be teased after waiting this long.
