Another way solid issue of Invincible. Is it a good jumping on point? Yes. Does it feel like a new status quo? Yes it does.
I'm going to take a scatter shot approach and just throw some thoughts out at you:
The new costume feels a little wrong, but it's written as feeling a little wrong, so that's okay. It makes Invincible feel like a much darker character, which is something the last issue was pointing to. And I liked how Kirkman manage put some of creative team's feelings about the costume into Art the costume guy's mouth. I liked his comment about the old costume's colors clashing with Omni-Boy's, er excuse me, Kid Omni-Man's.
Which leads me to a few other things. Oliver was always pretty awesome, but now as Kid Omni-Man he's even more awesome. Great costume. Great name. And Ottley makes him look so cool in the fight scene. I'm glad that he's becoming a bigger part of the book.
I also like the Schism between the Guardians of the Globe and the (for lack of another name) Teen Team. Good to see Darkwing join the Guardians. It makes them a slightly sketchier group.
And that last page. I was thinking, "Finally." Kirman's got so many subplots flying around you can easily forget a few of them. It was good to see this one re-emerge. And the shock of the reveal is not at all the reason I'm excited about this. I'm excited about this because I can trust that Kirkman will do something unexpected with it over the coming issues.
Invincible is a comic that always has me excited for the future. I can hardly wait for the next fifty issues.

I also really liked that they addressed peoples thoughts on the new costume. And Oliver is aweseom, but I also have a slight feeling of dread about him. And I feel that Mark may be feeling that as well.
And the final reveal had me both excited and scared. Things are not going to be good for Mark in the issues to come.
