Invincible #60

Billed as "The Crossover Event of the Decade," Invincible #60 arrives in 2009 as a complete, self-contained chapter of "The Invincible War," and Ryan Ottley's cover makes a bold case for the stakes involved. Invincible himself surges forward fist-raised at the center of the image, flanked by a massive ensemble — including a pink-costumed energy-wielder, a wild-haired warrior woman, a green-skinned figure in a suit, a Spawn-like caped figure with skull markings, and a swarm of allies and adversaries crowding every corner of the frame. It's a dense, kinetic assembly that promises the kind of all-hands collision that Robert Kirkman and the creative team had been building toward.
