Invincible #22

Ryan Ottley's cover for Invincible #22 takes a refreshingly human turn, showing Mark and a blonde young woman in a quiet, intimate moment together — lying close, mid-kiss, his green-and-yellow costume peeking out from beneath a casual shirt. It's a reminder that Robert Kirkman's series, self-described as "probably the best superhero comic book in the universe," never loses sight of the everyday life beneath the cape. With Ottley's expressive linework and Bill Crabtree's cool blue palette lending the scene real warmth, this 2005 Image Comics issue balances superhero action with genuine human connection.
