What can I say? Mark Grayson has struggled with and endured a ton of battles and hardship in his young life, but he is able to find light in lieu of the battles through Eve and his family and fight for what is right and what he believed in. Sure, there have been times throughout the series (especially in this compendium) where he was wrong, but he took that to make him a better superhero and a better opponent to his enemies (Angstrom, Rex, Thragg, Anissa, etc). This compendium does a remarkable job wrapping up this comic by fleshing out so many of the characters we have loved from the beginning while making room to introduce new ones that stand out. Thragg is more prominent than ever in this comic, and there are many more plot twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat to keep turning to the next page, but at the end of it all, it comes down to a perfect, fitting, conclusion. This has been the greatest four months of reading I have ever done in my life, and I thank Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, and all the other artists/writers that were involved in making this amazing comic book at Image Comics that will eventually turn out to be an amazing show on Amazon Prime!

Loved reading this comic, liked it so much I decided to buy it and add it to my collection, so I was a bit disappointed when I received it to find that even though I purchased to book “new” the paperback cover on the back was folded over. (I did wrap it in contact paper immediately after in hopes to smooth it out a bit more) This is most likely was due to the fact that it was shipped in a bag, not in a box for some reason. (You would think that Amazon would put a book that is over 1000 pages securely inside a box but I guess not.) Overall great ending to the story though! I recommend it to anyone who has read the rest of the series and is probably my favorite compendium of the 3. My only advice would be to be to not purchase it from Amazon “new” and expect it to be in pristine condition when it arrives. If you don’t care about a little wear and tear great! Purchase it used and save a bit more money!

A perfect conclusion to a perfect universe. This is an extremely intense ending to this world that is so fleshed out and brutally emotional. This compendium has character arcs so in depth and morally questionable that it makes you think about it even when you aren’t reading. The artwork is amazing some may not be a fan of Ryan Ottley’s art style but I would say it doesn’t take away from the comic one bit. The ending is perfect in the sense of it coming full circle from the beginning of the series. All in all must read series if you are tired of the modern day superhero tropes and stereotypes and just want an amazing story to immerse yourself in.

The story is great. Tons of epic moments and long awaited battles. The ending is a bit rushed but satisfying nonetheless

It was so good, I breezed through all 3 volumes and wow I can’t believe it’s over! That was quite a journey and I loved it! Definitely recommend this more than you know, the best

A great comic

I bought this for my grandson. He loves to read. He was very excited. It was worth the money.

Simply amazing, I can easily say that the invincible series is one of the best I've read in many years. The art, the story and the characters are all amazing.

Bought all 3 compendiums after watching the 2 seasons available on Amazon prime because I couldn’t wait to see what came next. I must say, this is one of the best comic series I’ve read, can’t wait to see it in the upcoming seasons. Mark Grayson is a protagonist you grow with, and root for. You truly feel bad for him whenever he gets slapped around and bloodied, but (spoiler alert) he gets the happy ending he deserves.

This will be the only and best comic i ever red. Story is great and its just perfect, down to the last detail. I really recomment this!

This is in the same category of endings as breaking bad: a chill and deserved finale to a wild ride. During the reading of this, I thought of giving this a 4 star because of the SPOILER SPOILER rape storyline, which I thought was, at best, fine. But with time it got better and resolved in a nice way too. Aside from all the blood and gore (and the added drama of the end of a saga), the book is still FUN like only a comic book can be. I also liked how the character's stances change depending on time and context, and how they take time to reflect on that. I like to be made to think, even if the "moral of the story" is not so clear. It is messy stuff, just like our lives, which makes this mostly sci-fi book into an ironically human read.

Quality of the package wasn't great, it was highly protected even though it came a bit bent and the book contained a lot of smudges
