The 145 issue series of Invincible is not a light reading task for most but thankfully though, the characters and storyline mean it is not a slog. Robert Kirkman’s Invincible Universe contains so many interesting characters that many readers want to dive into the other titles from Image. It can however be confusing to know what the other spin-off series are and where they fit into the main storyline.
