3. The (Short) Year of Living Dangerously

Writer: Bill Willingham
Artist: Cory Walker

Hey! This one’s better! Seriously, I enjoyed most of this issue.

As the story begins, The Pentacle has captured and imprisoned Shadowpact. Detective Chimp defeats his evil counterpart as Nightmaster's mirror universe buddy defects and frees the team. Working together, they take down The Pentacle and free themselves from the town.

As they do so, they skip forward a year and catch up with the rest of the DC universe. Cory Walker, the original artist for Invincible, came on board at this point, and showed great improvement. With better art to support him, Willingham's writing perked up a bit. We get actual characterization for some of the team members, especially Detective Chimp. Also, the dialogue is beginning to click, and the characters develop their own distinct voices.

I'm still not on board, but we’re improving greatly.
