This was super fun , and it always is super fun whenever Angstrom Levy shows up . In the whole run of Invincible , I feel like his is the only decent villain run . Of course that may well change after the events of this book .

There was a lot to like here, the feeling of helplessness and despair that maybe Atom Eve will be given the same treatment that DC gave Kyle Rayner's wife was a real scary aspect of the book , towards the end the turn of one character was really something I didn't see coming at all.

There are two aspect in this book that I didn't like and for which I am deducting one point and reducing the score from a perfect 5 star to 4 star , The first being the fact that it's 19 Volumes and Invincible hasn't really defeated a single villain by himself , in fact most of the big baddies are dealt with thanks to some other heroes work and the villains he does take down , they are mostly left unseen . The second aspect being that there's a possible change in Mark's character coming up and I am absolutely dreading it , but this change has come about some what out of nowhere and it just feels weird .

Either ways it's a near perfect title , once again .

The fall of Angstrom Levy has come. The arch-nemesis of Invincible is finally done. What a ride it’s been for him. It was weird he got a peaceful resolution... and then immediately got snatched up by alternate dimension Invincible.

This was a really great read as well. More seeds planted for Anissa, Doc Seismic, Battle Beast and Thragg.

The ending of this was phenomenal. I remember reading the issue on its own. Holy fuck, indeed. I’ll be excited to read the Robot arc again, mainly because it’ll be a nice surprise since I don’t recall it off the top of my head.

Art was phenomenal again. The colors are just so nice.
