Mark is hurt badly and the Viltrumite war is being waged in every reaches of the universe without him, his father, and his brother. Months pass and Omni Man and Oliver Grayson, bond while attending to Mark’s wounds. But will they make it in time to help the fight the Viltrumite war? This issue annoyed me because it showed that Invincible would magically be healed up very soon although his guts were pulled from his being last issue. All of the drama established about the importance of the fight are useless, if the next issue erases everything and heals Mark completely. Nothing was gained, nothing was lost. Meanwhile, the war continues and it doesn’t really matter as Mark and family are sitting this one out. It’s a sleight of the hand for the reader and a cheap trick. I bet by the time we return to Earth Atom Eve, Mark’s girlfriend will have given birth already... The art is of course good and solid as usual. It might have been the most pleasant thing about this issue.

Rating: 7/10
