Invincible #144 (2003) cover a

It was never going to be easy to end Invincible. I always imagined a couple different ways the series might grow and eventually end, but thankfully this massive-oversized issue manages to surprise me just enough, that I am almost not upset with how rushed this all is. If you have been reading for years you will find that little time is spent on anything other than the immediate Grayson family, although there are a couple fantastic pages showing the wider galaxy as things change, but for the most part you will not be able to shake the feeling that there is a mad dash to the end. Character driven, and at moments poignant, this is a decent conclusion to what truly has been one of the greatest superhero comics of the modern era. It could have easily slowed down a bit, and answered more questions, maybe even hit issue #150, but I am grateful this book was given a purposeful and heart felt end. To anyone who has never tried this book you now have a beginning, middle, and end! Overall it was nice to see both artists get a chance to shine one last time, and I cannot wait to see what Ottley does next.
