Invincible #81Posted: Sunday, July 31, 2011By: Shawn Hill Robert KirkmanRyan Ottley, Cliff Rathburn (i), Nick Koutsis (c)Image So, the Viltrumite war is over, with none of those rat bastards currently in evidence. All the bloody carnage and apocalypse scenarios and incredible cost of human life and damage to Mark's body are healed or being repaired, and despite all that excitement, the book is even better for it.

Invincible's world keeps moving right along despite the insane battles that just wrapped up. And while it seems a shame to have an issue that doesn't completely utilize Ryan Ottley's artistic strength, it's moments like this that keep the book from becoming stale and repetitive. Read Full Review
This isn't the way most superhero comics are written, but this isn't most superhero comics. Very strong issue with interesting portents for the future. Read Full Review
Invincible #81 is a throwback to an earlier age of comics that doesn't feel retro or rehashed, earning a very impressive 3.5 out of 5 stars overall. I truly worry about Mark after the last few months of this book, and that's a rare thing indeed" Read Full Review
I wonder why Mark couldn't lead that Gravitator guy to Cecil in the first place... But okay, glad he finally did. And I like how he defeated Powerplex with words only. It's a nice change of pace after so many bloody issues with viltrumites.
