I get that the story has moved on from high-school and stakes are at an all time high and humour could seem forced. Additionally, I felt that the humour quotient was considerably less in this one. I wish there were another couple of strong support arcs but no other stayed with me like this one. It was complex and extremely well written. What I loved in this edition was the support story arc of Robot and Monster Girl. The tropes are not as fresh, and it starts feel repetitive at times, but Invincible Compendium 2 hits it out of the park often enough to earn the necessary accolades. Mark once again deals with aliens, and romance, and aliens and his father, aliens and family and on it goes. Mark Grayson aka Invincible has been through a lot. I have had the most amazing time reading this and can safely say that Invincible Compendium 2 is almost as good as the first - A reaction I thought impossible ( I wrote about the Invincible storyline, collected editions and part 1 reaction in my review of Compendium 1) That was my reaction as I turned the last page on the 2nd part of this incredible collection.
