Invincible #1

From Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker comes this opening chapter of Image Comics' teen superhero series, which poses the question right on the cover: when you're dealing with girls, acne, homework, and super-villains, it helps to be Invincible. The cover, colored by Bill Crabtree, puts our young hero in his bold yellow-and-blue costume, fists clenched and crouching in a combat-ready stance against a cracked, crumbling wall — the posture of someone who's just getting started and means business. It's a sharp, confident introduction to a series built around the messy reality of growing up with extraordinary power.
