The story begins when ace private eye Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.
I had the first 7 hardcovers before I gave up on comic books and when i came back to the industry as a fan, they called out to me to complete them, nay they taunted me with their uncompleted status.
So I bought the other four volumes and found that Robert Kirkman was still killing it with Invincible, but lost his damn mind and wanted to cancel it. Did he get bored? Did he write himself into a corner? Did he not have time to pen this series while counting all his massive stacks of cash? Who knows, but I’m happy I had over 144 issues of the series to read with all the supplemental content in the back of these books. They’re among the best superhero stories you can possibly read and I can’t recommend them enough.
Because of how high I was feeling after finishing that last giant hardcover book, I rushed across my room (four feet!) to order some trades of “Invincible Universe“, a side story that ran for 12 issues in it’s own series. It was not of the same quality of the main series, neither in story nor in art. This isn’t to say it was terrible, just not as amazing as the mainline books.
I have Science Dog and Guarding the Globe on backorder, so we’ll see how those are when they get in. I think there’s a couple other series (The Brit? Tech Jacket?) in the invincible comic universe, but I’m not too excited about them just yet.
This is the series that saved the Fast & Furious franchise. The director’s cut is a fun version of an already fun movie. I’m happy they went back to basics with the third (fourth?) film Riddick, and I really wish there were more movies in the series.
Not as fantastic as the comic version, but damn close, this was an amazingly well done version of the story. I’d love to see a World War Hulk movie, but what are the odds of that happening?
The last book I bought from them for actual legit guidance was for Final Fantasy X. After that, i would only pick up their books when they got down to the $3-$5 range just for the art and commentary, but as the OP mentions, why pay $30+ for a book when you can get the same content online for free?
It stands for “Fuck the Prom”, and I’m not sure if they knew who they were making this film for. There’s fun to be had here, it’s a nice classical story that has a fair bit of humor, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a cheerleader turning unpopular and going back to her nerd roots to get revenge on the other cheerleaders, reverse Carrie style.
I assure you, if you thought you knew what this movie was about just based off the trailers, this is not that movie. This is a fucked up, cracked mirror of reality that has some really broken concepts that pretty messed with my head.
York was a good guy who had his land stolen, then found religion when he had his gun blown out of his hand, turning into a pacifist who didn’t want to go fight in world war one. He made it home just fine though with the direct intervention of the lord almighty.
Was thinly veiled attempt to get objectors into world war 2? Maybe. Regardless, it’s a fantastic movie that’s well acted and has a fantastic series of sets that at times I was nearly 90% sure were sets. Maybe.
I think i was told I was related to this guy somehow, but I’m also pretty sure I’m not and that was either a false memory or a tall tale my dad told me because he was proud of a fellow Tennessean that done good in the war.
