I hope not! Here is the latest teaser from Image Comics regarding Robert Kirkman’s Invincible #100. This time, it’s the death of everybody. Invincible, Atom Eve, Robot, Oliver, Allen the Alien and Omni Man. If they all did in fact die, then that would be the end of Invincible…and that’s something I am not ready for.

NOOOOOOO! For me, this latest teaser for Image Comics Invincible #100 is the one I really don’t want to see happen. Why? Because Omni Man is that cool. And his name’s Nolan… how many comic characters share my name? Exactly. Let’s all hope it’s just Robot or Invincible’s purple half brother, Oliver. Remember to check out Image Comics website for […]
Add two more names to the list of possible victims. Yesterday and today, Image Comics released two more teasers for Robert Kirkman’s Invincible #100.

I love the diversity of Image Comics. I know, there are people that are die hard loyal fans to the big two only: I feel bad for those people. They missed the modern day classic 27, the high octane blood-fest known as Luther Strode, the space faring epic in Saga, and that’s just naming a fraction of it all. Reason […]
From swords to stars. Jonathan Luna, one of the infamous Luna Brothers, is coming back to the world of comics…sort of.
