Once again, a large event passes by in the Invincible Universe, and Kirkman deftly sweeps up the remains while setting up the next story. Kirkman crafts a story with his strengths of writing personal loss and interaction as the world dusts itself off from the events of the past 6 issues. The art in this book was just as solid handling the quiet interactions as it was with the intense fighting scenes that preceded it. The coloring and shading were well done as every character had just as much depth to them physically as Kirkman wrote them emotionally. I’m going to be sad to see Ottley leave the book for the next exciting story, but happy to see this book come to a close worthy of the weight that was called for.

As always, the highlight of every issue for me was the letters column where in this particular book, the vicious nature of irate fan boys was put on full display. At this point in his career, I have come to expect a good issue from Kirkman on all his endeavors. What catches my attention now, is his patience for handling these crazed loonies who buy his books every month, and are emotionally invested enough to write what they do in response to his stories.
