With as tragic as this story is, it's really difficult to say this is a really good issue, as it makes the person making that statement seem rather sadistic. But seeing a person go from average Joe with powers to a foe that could bring Invincible down is a cool tale for Robert Kirkman to tell (Invincible doesn't even show up until the final nine pages of the book) - and I like it enough to give Invincible #59 4 out of 5 Stars.

I like Ryan Ottleys work. Hes definedInvincible for this reader and adds a good super hero but lightness to the workthat makes it pleasant. In hindsight, Im not sure if his work would fit in anotherseries that was not about a young idealistic hero, like Johnny Rocket orSpider-man. Read Full Review

I didn't expect to read some isolated story now, but it was good. The transitions between scenes could be better though... And the ending is a bit abrupt too. I would love to see some Mark's afterthoughts here.
