Tether Tyrant and Magmaniac RETURN! After months on the run, these two dastardly villains have decided to make their move. Unfortunately for our hero, he's in the wrong place at the wrong time. Invincible is in for the fight of his life and this is just a bump in the road on the way to the status-quo-altering events of the big issue 50 in a few short months!

Robert Kirkman's long-running book Invincible starts here! Girls, acne, homework, super-villains. When you're a teenager, it helps to be Invincible.

Collects issues #1-4! Mark Grayson is just like most everyone else his age. He's a senior at a normal American high School. He has a crappy part time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit... but doesn't quite understand them. He enjoys hanging out with his friends, and sleeping late on Saturdays... at least until the good cartoons come on. The only difference between Mark and everyone else is that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and as of late, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. Which sounds okay at first, but how do you follow in your father's footsteps when you know you will never live up to his standards? THIS ISSUE: Get in on the ground floor, because it all starts here! Strange things begin to happen to Mark Grayson as he begins to develop superpowers. Luckily, his dad is around to show him the ropes, at least he WOULD be if he weren't so busy saving the world all the time. Mark is forced to go out on his own, and try and figure out how all this superheroing business works. The results are a monumental disaster, at least until he gets the hang of it. Watch Mark thwart thieving super-villains, alien invasions and all sorts of craziness.

It's here: the second massive paperback collection of the greatest superhero comic in the universe! Witness Invincible's transition from new kid on the block to established superhero! Collects Invincible #48-96.

"No longer just the boy whose father tried to take over the world, Mark Grayson, Invincible-- is working his way up the pecking order on his way to becoming the premiere super-hero in the world. Super-villains, technologically reanimated super-corpses and alien invasions are only a few of the things Invincible must face in this non-stop thrill ride--"--P. [4] of jacket.
