Hey bro was there many spreads throughout the entire thing, I’m super keen to get em and read but if there’s like a spread in every issue that gets guttered it kind of puts me off
I have the 3 Invincible compendiums. I'm grateful that Image comics did these, it's so cheap but the pages don't look cheap. The colors pop, the gutter loss is minimum. I love them.
Thanks for the info on the compendium books I finished watching the Amazon show and really liked it so I decided to order The first compendium online I can’t wait to get into it 🙃
Is it in stock anywhere over there? Here in the netherlands its literally gone, atleast part one. I did a 3 day roadtrip going through the country to find part one. somewhere in a store, they had it in the back for when "someome would ask about it".
Thanks! I was looking for this exact information. I wanted to know if the spine was going to end up cracked to hell. You eased my concerns and will now go buy these.
Awseome compendium, i want to know everything about the INVINCIBLE’S universe💛🩵🖤 because i loved the series, it will be a great birthday gift😊 What a cute bunny🫶🏻
i wanted the hardcovers so bad but its too much money unfortunately :( so i just got the compendiums and im super excited to start reading it cuz the show was awesome ! i feel like the printing for invincible is running at full speed rn cuz everyones getting it after the show and ive read its already sold over 100k copies this year xD
The hardcovers would be great, but the compendiums get the job done for the best price. And I think they look so cool too, huge books on the shelf! Yes, it seems like everyone is interested in the books now that the show is out, which makes it hard to get copies but is also great that more people are reading the source material!
@@teacomics since im not from the US i was worried if its gonna be even harder to get them but the comic shop i bought it from had no issues ordering them so im glad :) and it was cheaper for me as well since im from germany ,euros always end up being cheaper than dollars :D theres also a german edition which is essentially the ultimate edition but in softcovers however its also way more expensive :^) but generall original US comics are always way cheaper so thats another nice perk of being good at english lol
Oh I'm glad you were able to get them ordered! (and for cheaper!) I can imagine that having translated editions would cost more. Good thing you are good at english! enjoy the books!
I was worried about that too. They are pretty durable but I always made sure to hold the spine in one hand while reading them and I never laid it flat open on a table. They are going to get a slight curve in the spine, I think it's unavoidable, but they won't crack. Other people have commented that they've been a lot rougher with them and they still didn't crack. So you should be alright.
Couldn't have asked for a better first comment or first like! If only I had prizes to give out you'd be getting one for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Got introduced to this comic book series through the show on amazon but all the compendiums are sold out on amazon and its gonna take atleast a week for 2 of them to come back to stock and the first compendium of the series doesn't even have a date when they are coming back just says in stock soon im really fustrated lol
Pumped you're checking out the comics after watching the show! That's great! Too bad about Amazon being out of stock. Do you have a local comic book store? You could call them and see if they have a copy. Other big book stores chains often have these books too. Hopefully you'll find a copy :)
@@teacomics Yea I might check out a comic book store but ill wait till the end of the week and if amazon still doesn't have this book in stock then im gonna be forced to go to a comic book store for the second time not really excited tho because last time i went to the my local comic book store they legit had nothing i was looking for but it is what it is i just hope amazon hurries up those books
@@ChocolatMudBaby Damn I just decided I’ll wait for Amazon to restock I already purchased the first compendium and once they stock up they’ll ship it out but it says it’s gonna take 3 weeks ☹️
Just support the spine with one hand while you read, don't lay it out completely flat or force the spine open. You're gonna get a slight curve to the spine, it's inevitable, but it won't crack of you treat it with care
This was quite a few years ago that I bought them. Vol 1 and 3 I got through Amazon sales, and Vol 2 I got for even cheaper as a remaindered copy from Heroes Comics in London Ontario (a great comic shop if you're ever in London).
@@teacomics true! I didn’t take the date into consideration that’s my bad! I’ll have to check them out, I’m in Ontario as well so I’d hope shipping wouldn’t be crazy. I live close to a book store and they are selling them for 95 bucks so said nope to that.
I’m about to get these! so excited! Wondering how you are keeping them in good shape? Just leave it in a cool area or shelf? Are there covers we can get for them?
I just keep them on a bookshelf. I thankfully have an air conditioned home so they are always cool and dry. I'm sure you could make some type of cardboard slip case for them, but i wouldn't worry. They are fairly durable for what they are
The Ultimate Collection books are hardcover and oversized (larger dimensions), but they contain much less pages per book (I think only 2 TPB per book) and are much more expensive than the compendiums when comparing price per content. There are 12 Ultimate Collection hardcovers versus the 3 compendiums.
My Compendium is not missing those issues. It is a 3rd printing though. Maybe it was an issue with a previous printing? But I've not heard anything about that.
Hey, I'm planning to buy invincible compendiums as well but I can't decide whether to get a hardcover or paperback well obviously paperback would save me a ton of money but i'm wondering how does the spine or cover hold up while using and reading it from time to time as I don't want to see any creases or scuffs on the book if im going to read it overtime and that's a lot of issues as well so it might take me awhile to finish it I'd really appreciate a reply :))
If you handle them carefully then they don't cease the spine. At 1:15 I go over the wear on the book after one read through and you can see that it's still in really good shape. Obviously these are big heavy books and being paperback they will not be quite as durable as smaller hardcovers; but, I think you'll be fine as long as you are careful with them.
Show does a good job of capturing the comic tonally and visually. The first season covers the first chunk of the comics but in broader strokes and at a much faster pace.
comics are more flat while the animated series fleshes out alot that happens (new guardians react to robot cloning a younger Rex instead of the comics "yeah alright" reaction to it, etc) but also backfires by changing Amber to be a literal bitch who breaks up with Mark...because hes a superhero having to keep those close to him safe? she acts like thats a negative and treats him like shit when he has to do those things and keep it secret so no villain links his family or Amber to him and use them as a vantage.
These are the cheapest way to read invincible but probably the worst way (not bad just not as good as the others) to read the story. I want the hard covers but to buy them all it'll cost a crap ton😔
Yeah, you're gonna have to save some money to get those sweet hardcovers, but definitely can get a good read from the compendiums for cheaper. It'll just come down to your preference as a collector/reader.
@@teacomics yeah, I cant get it on amazon, not even international amazon, pre owned stores, or any other online store. I only learned about it from the show, so I can understand its popularity.
@@ahaan8388 I just picked it up through Organic Prices Books on Amazon, a lot more expensive ($80) but in stock. If you buy it for 40 through Amazon itself it supposed to ship to you in late July, but it's my money and I want it now so you know, just based on how much patience you have you can still get it.
@@ahaan8388 ehhhh pbbly not, it's still on its way so I can't give a definitive yes or no. I picked it up cause I had that extra cash and I want to share it with family and friends before camping season is in full tow. However I can imagine regretting down the line when I consider I could've picked up something like 2 more collections of idws Ninja Turtles or budgeting it in to some hardcover omnis, I'll try to let you know when it shows up but for now while I don't regret my purchase, If it ends up coming apart or shipping improperly I certainly could. If you mean the story not the book itself then yes absolutely,. I've read through the entire series and I think it's pbbly the best thing I've read from Image Comics in a number of years.
Should be fine if you take care of it, don't force them wide open. You'd really need to bend it for it to crack. The spines will have a slight curve to them after reading (it's inevitable), but shouldn't crack. I'd recommend not lending them to anyone if you're concerned because others may not be so careful.
Unfortunately there's no chapter names that separate the volumes in the compendiums. Between each issue there's a page with the cover image and it indicates the issue number, but that's it.
If you mind me asking does the compendium 1 cover all of season 1 or does it have more in it. I’m just really interested in buying the invincible compendiums.
Yes, each compendium contains many volumes. For Compendium #1 it contains Volumes 1 through 9 of the TPB (or issues 1-47 of the single issues) The Wikipedia page has a really good breakdown of all the collected editions en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invincible_(comic_series)#Collected_editions
@@teacomics Awesome thanks! I'm looking to buy them after season 1 of the upcoming animated series, excited for that! Hoping to avoid spoilers till then.
From a quick google search, it looks like there was a Spanish version of the books for some of the first trades, but I have no idea if they did the whole series.
@@brandonbaerga4972 I don't have the hardcovers so it's difficult to compare. I'd say it depends on your preference and budget. If you prefer larger oversized art and want really sturdy volumes then the HCs would be better, but they are substantially more expensive. If you just want the entire Invincible story in print for the cheapest price then go with the compendiums.
I know they're in high demand right now so a lot of places are on back order. But you can normally get them at any major book retailer online. Or try a comic book shop if you have one nearby.
The 3 compendiums contain every issue of invincible as well as some other special issues, cross overs and one shots. So all of the Invincible story. There is some spin off stuff for characters like wolfman and adam-eve that are not part of these volumes though.
Hey bro was there many spreads throughout the entire thing, I’m super keen to get em and read but if there’s like a spread in every issue that gets guttered it kind of puts me off
It's been a few years since I read them, but I don't think there was a spread every issue, but certainly in a series with 140+ issues there are a number of them throughout the three books. There are for sure a few big epic scenes where I remember feeling like it would have looked better in a smaller format or digital where less would have been lost to the gutter. But my tolerance for this is high, if you are put off by it maybe the compendiums aren't the best choice for you. Hope this helps.
I got Compendium #1 and #3 from Amazon. #2 I got from a local comic store in Ontario Canada. I'm not sure where the best place to get them in Mexico, probably online order but I really don't know. Sorry!
I felt that the story ebbed and flowed throughout. Some arcs I liked better than others. It's been a while since I've read this series now, but I don't remember strongly disliking the 3rd compendium though, I'd have to reread it to be sure. Sorry to hear you're not enjoying the final tome. Hopefully, it picks up to your liking in the second half.
Hey man, thanks for the video! I wanted to know how the compendium edition looks like. I'm battling with myself whether to go with this, or the ultimate collection 🫣
The bunny thoooo
He loves comics!
Invincible is epic I finished reading all 3 compendiums it almost reminds me of the wildstorm universe ,
Awesome, what a great read eh?
I've never read any Wildstorm universe, maybe I'll have to check it out.
Damn. U was quick on it
Hey bro was there many spreads throughout the entire thing, I’m super keen to get em and read but if there’s like a spread in every issue that gets guttered it kind of puts me off

Thats cool. I just ordered.

I also enjoyed the show.
I think they did a good job at capturing the comic.
Hope you enjoy!
sadly, in my country, its selling for about 125 USD

@@acvn-hg9gy Oh, in India its available but for way more than it should be, we're talking 200 dollars for 1 compendium.
Bought and finished the 1&2 ones about 3 months ago and I can’t wait to get the 3rd for Christmas it’s such a great series
Awesome!! Glad you're enjoying them!
the books are very thic its crazy to make the covers so small with so much pages, thanks for this video 👏
Haha yes they are quite thic.
They do seem strange to be so large with only thin covers but they hold together well.
Thanks for the review. I was very hesitant with these, I always am with very thic sofcovers. But after seeing your review I bought all 3 volumes.
glad to help. I hope you enjoy them!

It's pretty sad that these aren't hardcover :( but I reckon that would increase the price tag a damn lot
Yes, exactly these are supposed to be a cheaper option. But a hardcover version would be really cool too!
@@teacomics yeah! A bummer the hardcovers are so hard to find
That book is thicker than Yang Xiao Long from RWBY
Wasn’t expecting a RWBY reference here
Love this series and have several of the deluxe hardcover versions which I really like the build quality of. Thanks for the overview though...
The deluxe hardcovers are a very nice set of books. They probably look great on the shelf.
I love Invincible I'm glad you like it
i order all 3 of the compendiums after they were on a huge sale on skybound. i can’t wait to read.
Very nice! Enjoy!

Wow i just came here to see if a have to buy it guess it worth it
WOW! These would look great with my 4 walking dead compendiums, after watching season 1 of invincible I might have to get these! Good vid thx
Yes for sure! They'd make nice shelf companions with the Walking Dead compendiums.
Thank you so much🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You're very welcome
Just ordered Vol. 1 of the compendium. I'm more of a OHC guy but these are great bargain.
Nice!
OHCs are great, but can't beat this deal!

What's the difference between compedium and the ultimate collection?
The Ultimate Collection books are hardcover and oversized (larger dimensions), but they contain much less pages per book (I think only 2 TPB per book) and are much more expensive than the compendiums when comparing price per content. There are 12 Ultimate Collection hardcovers versus the 3 compendiums.
Are issues 6,7 or 8 missing from the first one as I've heard people have noticed it..
My Compendium is not missing those issues. It is a 3rd printing though. Maybe it was an issue with a previous printing? But I've not heard anything about that.

In the three books are all the comics? In other words, in those three books is the story from beginning to end?
Yes the 3 compendiums contain every issue of Invincible as well as some other special issues, cross overs and one shots.
So yes, the complete story.
do you know when they stop making these because I really want one of these before its too late....
I can only imagine that they'll be making a ton of these and for a long time. Demand for them has gone up since the show was released.
thank you so much for the quick response, yea hopefully amazon will put these back in stock very soon

i’ve watched the show and given where the show ended, should i pick up the first compendium or move to the second?
The show only really covers the first part of the frist compendium.
I think you're best to just start with the first compendium.
How far does the animated series on Amazon prime get up to in the book?
I'm not sure the exact issue it gets to because the show jumps around a little. But season one is roughly the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the first compendium
I want those as it is the cheapest way to get the entire series but I'm terrified of the thought of the spine breaking
Should be fine if you take care of it, don't force them wide open. You'd really need to bend it for it to crack. The spines will have a slight curve to them after reading (it's inevitable), but shouldn't crack.

I'm not sure where the best place to get them in Mexico, probably online order but I really don't know. Sorry!
Does the cover crack easily?
No, not if you take care of it. You'd really need to bend it for it to crack.
@@teacomics thanks, I’m weighing the pros and cons to see if I want the compendium or the ultimate collection
This is book 1-144 right?
Yes, between all three books you get issues 1-144 (plus some extra one-shots and crossovers too)
The storytelling in the 3rd one sucks, I'm halfway through and forcing myself to finish it
I felt that the story ebbed and flowed throughout. Some arcs I liked better than others. It's been a while since I've read this series now, but I don't remember strongly disliking the 3rd compendium though, I'd have to reread it to be sure. Sorry to hear you're not enjoying the final tome. Hopefully, it picks up to your liking in the second half.
Hey man, thanks for the video! I wanted to know how the compendium edition looks like. I'm battling with myself whether to go with this, or the ultimate collection 🫣
