Modern Sue (and the writers) deserve the Connery treatment.
Old Reed would’ve, a man who smokes like he did and was as nuclear family-coded as he was? Before the modern autism and Reed’s subservience to Tony in Civil War, Reed was incredibly chad. Rare Mark Waid W cause his Reed was a sex god, international man of mystery and unloaded whoop-ass on Victor and left him in hell, then demolished his post-mortem image.
I’ve always wanted Reed to just do a sleeves rolled-up beating on Doom, like just kicking his fucking ass being a weird stalker autist. I hate Doomwank.
“RICHARDS STOP, CEASE INFLICTING PAIN ON DOOM’S BODY!”

one of the things i did enjoy about the flawed Secret Wars event was Reed just beating Doom's ass in the end of it.
Remember, Reed's a ww2 veteran. I wish they'd played with this more in the 60s and 70s, because it'd have been so fucking funny seeing the Red Skull and Baron Zemo just get some sort of wunder-weapon aimed at them. I don't even think they elaborated too much on what Reed did. I know Ben Grimm was a pilot. What the fuck was Reed, since they clearly didn't have him in the Manhattan Project or Phantom Works.

They talked about what Reed did a little bit. He wasn't a scientist but an intelligence agent who fought behind enemy lines and helped resistance fighters.

I really only like Kirby/Lee and John Byrne F4, so I prefer when the Fantastic Four are doing sci-fi shit, but an espionage story could cool if it was done by the right writer. After being told by a friend how much they assassinate Reed’s character in Ultimatum when that was coming out, I don’t trust any Marvel writers to do anything with F4. I know that’s the Ultimate universe but still. I felt like Ultimate stuff started to bleed into mainline Marvel after Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimates was so successful for a while there.

that was the Ultimate Universe, and they pretty much limited Ultimate stuff that wasn't special crossovers or events since they were steadily on the decline lmao
I started reading Invincible. Never knew how detached the Amazon show is from the books. The comic and show feel like two separate things....But I do enjoy both the show and comic.

Is it decent? I have this weird aversion to anything written by Kirkman because of how much fucking everyone gargles his nuts and because I also didn't really think Walking Dead was the second coming of Christ to comics. It's a probably a contrarian me thing, but anything Kirkman writes I furrow my brow at.

I will admit that the essay of cock sucking at the beginning of each issue is unnessessary....It's lasts for 2-3 pages! I don't give a shit how much of a "unique/he's not like the other boys" bullshit. His writing is what should be expected from a decent comic book author. I think he gets a ton of dick sucking is because he wrote the Walking Dead and you see how much that franchise as lasted.
My biggest criticism so far is that the art gets a tad wonky at times. Cory Walker's style is so fuckin ugly for the first 2 issues. The beady eyes and tiny eyes are so fucking bad.
But dear lord he cannot draw a face with a neutral expression.
Almost all the faces have the character's mouth agape at odd positions with puckered lips.
Ryan Ottley is a way better artist, I like seeing the sketches at the end of each issue but he also can't fuckin draw faces sometimes.
Overall, give the series a try, there's actually a decent story here.

Kirkman’s cuck fetish ruins what few good ideas he has. Case in long the disaster he’s making of Transformers. Optimus and Magnus both emasculated and their titles taken.

imo, i think at worst it's a nice effort to return to form for comics, female characters are allowed to be sexy alongside men and not the google art blobs, the higher parental restrictions allowing gore etc is much more realistically violent. the mainline also you get in the 3 softcover compendiums is self contained and a complete story, without possibility of infinity writers making eve and mark breakup or people out of character every run etc. it's one vision to completion which is really good, though there's spin offs and things now. the invincible universe compendium's pretty good and is like extra lore and stories for primary characters, rest seem like slop. i wound up starting with that first and it's more interesting for me that way to have eve/rex more of a built character going in instead of being like starlight from the boys or something.
but there's also a lot of "good idea, poor execution". i like the female hulk expy but i don't really vibe with the "hulk" being it's own entity and being explicitly male. i like how they handle some of the time skips, i don't like cuck shit but the eve/mark thing was honestly handled pretty well, of having someone you love pop out of time, no idea if they'd be back etc, but them getting back together when he returns. it's handled pretty realistically where it's a fucked situation but neither is explicitly "wrong", and multiple characters handle emotional shit surprisingly good, like mark's rape being treated very seriously and eve ready to beat the fuck out of the aggressor instead of more animu "you liked that shit nigga/cheated on me". infinitely better than walking dead's first rick cuck arc shit at minimum.
i like them exploring concepts previously done but further, like the concept of adrenaline on superman, or handling brightburn's plot past the insanity and into attempted redemption arcs. it also does a better job than several legacy ips of having quite a few characters being interesting at the same time, including villains.
like anything else, i'd recommend ideally reading/skimming about a tpb length free online, and if you like it, getting a paperback compendium on sale at amazon or ebay, then if you really like it, the other 2 paperback compendiums complete the main run. i could see how people really like it or don't. i really like it but like several good ips, there's some plots that work far better as head canon than writer's choice
Kirkman took over from the guy who made all the aura-farming hype moments from the Skybound run. In his tenure he’s already started undoing the past plot points, is cucking the men, making pointless shock moments for twitter drones and bloating the cast.

"I have the power to literally turn shit into gold and I have actual superhero contacts, but I don't want to raise my baby alone, so I'll abort him!"
For extra insanity, the character no issues with another woman with no powers and old basically raising an alien kid.
Then Mark considers the extermination of Las Vegas to put solar panels where the city used to stand a good idea, to the point of releasing the eco-terrorist behind the genocide. It backfires, of course, but that was so bad I had to drop it, and it gets worse.

It's one of those comics where the writer keeps messing with the status quo without a real plan behind it but I think that was as a way to drum up sales.
For anyone not in the know, the big twist that Nolan is actually a villain wasn't supposed to be revealed until issue 25. Up until that point, there were supposed to be some hints here and there but nothing confirmed until that point. The problem was Invincible just wasn't really catching on, not helped by the fact that Cory Walker had trouble meeting deadlines, which is why Ottley replaced him. With the book on the chopping block, Kirkman was advised to pull the ripcord and just do the storyline ahead of schedule. And it worked.
The problem was it became a Kirkman staple. Walking Dead, the first trade ends with a trusted ally secretly being against the hero. Same with Haunt, though in that case it wasn't a character given much panel time. When I checked out Astounding Wolf-Man since it crossed over with Invincible and saw the first trade ended with Wolf-Man's vampire mentor turning on him I just gave up because I knew where the story was going.
And with Invincible, sales never did that well, so as a quick solution Kirkman would change things up. Mark becomes the government's go-to supe while he goes to college. Then he drops out and goes independent in a new costume while dating Eve and mentoring his little brother. Then the Viltrumite War happens and they're no longer the overarching enemy while Eve is pregnant. Then Eve has an abortion so we don't have to worry about that. Then Nolan becomes the Viltrumite emperor. Then Mark goes to space. Then his and Eve's kid gets magically aged up. And then Mark becomes the Viltrumite emperor and the comic ends. And there's other stuff I'm glossing over.
It's not a bad comic, I enjoyed it while it was coming out, but if you're not a Kirkman fan? You're not going to like it.
