Invincible is phenomenal.  I've been slowly reading through the trades; unfortunately, my library only has book one (Family Matters), so I've had to resort to reading them at the store and getting them through inter-Library Loan (which takes forever).  It'd be faster to buy them but way too expensive.  I'm probably not going to catch up until the book ends at this rate, but I really want to read everything instead of just jumping in.

Hey, wasn't there just an "Invincible War" not too long ago?

Marvel has definitely fallen behind DC with the animated movies.  Ultimate Avengers, Doctor Strange, and the Thor half of Hulk Vs. have been their best offerings; everything else was lackluster to me.  On the flipside, Superman: Doomsday has been DC's worst offering (Wonder Woman is their best), and even that had great fight scenes.

I read the Planet Hulk series and thought it was good, but it's not one that I want to revisit.  Like Conner, I really don't care about the other characters or their world.  The only one that interested me was the tyrannical Red King, and he was destined to fall from the beginning.  I think I'll save my rental money (or freebie coupons) for DC's Crisis on Two Earths at the end of the month.

Now, if Marvel wants to follow up with an animated World War Hulk, I might give that a look.  Not sure what everyone else's problem with it is, but I thought that mini-series rocked.

PS, Spectacular Spider-Man is great, but Justice League is still king.

I'm not a regular Batman reader, but I am a regular keep-up-with-what's-going-on-in-various-comics-via-the-internet-and-then-read-the-trade-paperback-er.  I figured this would come soon - though, like a lot of others, I was hoping they could hold off on returning to the status quo a good deal longer.  The fact that everything always has to go back to status quo is my biggest qualm with Marvel and DC in general. 

I'm eager to hear the reaction this story gets and, eventually, to read it for myself.  Fans of non-supernatural Batman stories will be pissed, but they're already pissed, so no big deal.

"Let's not try to follow these events right away. How about a radical idea and let us have a status-quo for a couple of years.  Let's explore the ramifications of these events and at least let us have a semblance of normality to catch our breaths before the next big event."

I fully endorse this.
