Invincible War...Published by the Big 2.



In Image Comics's Invincible #60, Angstrom Levy unleashed an army of evil Invincibles on Earth. It was a double-sized issue covering the entire event. Mass crossover as all of the major Image heroes of the past and present appeared in at least one panel fighting the evil Invincibles. It was great!

It made me think about mega-events from the Big 2. You know who I'm talking about.

If the Invincible War was published by Marvel - A 6-8 issue limited series titled Invincible War. A series of other miniseries focussing on other heroes in the event including Iron Man: Invincible War, Avengers: Invincible War, X-Men: Invincible War, and Fantastic Four: Invincible War. This is separate from the main titles all having between 1-3 issues dedicated to the events. Also, the 4 issue mini-series Invincible War: Front Line. One of the top heroes would get killed (to be replaced by someone using the same name), and a 4 issue miniseries focusing on the aftermath of his/her death would follow, such as Sub-Mariner Requiem. Minimum of 50 issues dedicated to the event. Minimum cost: $149.50

If the Invincible war was published by DC - A 52 issue weekly comic titled Invincible Crisis, containing titles-spanning changes that you'd miss if you didn't follow the series and which would only get a cursory reference in the primary titles. Cost: $155.48

Image's Invincible war cost: $3.99

That's why I love Indy comics...
