Invincible is a long-running superhero comic written by Robert Kirkman and drawn by Cory Walker, published by Image Comics since 2003 and running 144 issues in all. The protagonist is Mark Grayson, a seventeen-year-old high school student who seems no different from his peers except for one fact: his father, Nolan Grayson, is Earth's most powerful superhero, Omni-Man, an alien from the planet Viltrum. Mark has long awaited the superpowers he will inherit through his father's bloodline, and one day, while taking out the trash after work, he casually throws a garbage bag an impossible distance, and his strength and power of flight awaken. Under his father's guidance, Mark begins to adjust to his extraordinary physique, finds Art, a tailor who makes costumes for heroes, settles on the name "Invincible," and tries to balance schoolwork, his job, friendships, and fighting crime. Yet as he learns more about his father's past, he begins to sense that something hard to name lies behind that heroic halo. This volume is the first volume of the series (collecting the opening issues), the starting point from which the whole long story moves from innocent daily life toward its turning point; here readers meet the Grayson family, Mark's classmates and friends, and his first adversaries.Editor's review
很多人第一次翻开《无敌少侠》，会以为自己拿到的是一本轻快的少年英雄成长漫：主角刚觉醒超能力、给自己起名字、被裁缝吐槽战服配色，连打反派都带着点笨拙的喜感。但柯克曼真正厉害的地方，是把这些日常写得足够可信，以便日后一点点把它们撬开——超能力不是从天而降的奖励，而是一场需要家庭承担的代价。 第1册的价值就在于这个“日常”本身：马克和母亲黛比的早饭桌对话、和好友威廉的插科打诨、在快餐店倒垃圾时意外把垃圾袋扔上天的荒诞瞬间、校长关于“你不是无敌的”的告诫。这些细节看似琐碎，却是这部历时十五年、共144话的长篇史诗能一次次回望的根基。柯里·沃克的画风线条干净、色彩软和，与故事后期将出现的残酷冲击力形成强烈反差。如果你是从亚马逊动画入坑的读者，这本正是对照原作的起点；如果你第一次接触美漫，《无敌少侠》用一个少年英雄的成长线，提供了门槛不高却极耐读的入口。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 看过《无敌少侠》动画、想知道原作起点与细节差异的观众
- 喜欢青少年成长题材与校园日常感的超级英雄故事读者
- 想进入长篇美漫、又怕从大合集大部头开始的入门者
- 对罗伯特·柯克曼《行尸走肉》式人物刻画感兴趣的读者
Not a good fit for
- 更偏好全彩日式画风、看重精致分镜的传统日漫读者
- 期待一上来就是宇宙级大战和暴力高潮的猎奇读者
- 无法接受青春期校园叙事与慢热铺垫的读者
Reading tips
- 先读第1册，把格雷森一家和马克的朋友、同学记清楚，这些人日后都会回头出现。
- 不要在开篇就搜索剧情解说或结局，本系列最大的阅读快感来自长线反转。
- 读时留意每期之间的小日常段落，人物关系是理解后续阵营变化的关键。
- 如果对照动画观看，可并列比较第1册与动画第一季的开篇节奏差异。
FAQ
《无敌少侠》是谁创作的？
该系列由罗伯特·柯克曼编剧，柯里·沃克与瑞安·奥特利先后担任作画，2003年1月起由Image漫画出版，全系列共144话，2018年完结。这本书和亚马逊动画是什么关系？
亚马逊Prime Video的《无敌少侠》动画改编自该漫画，剧集由柯克曼参与编剧，但动画与漫画在时间线和细节上存在差异，动画并非逐格照搬。没读过美漫能直接看第1册吗？
可以。第1册是完整系列的开篇，故事从马克觉醒超能力讲起，不需要任何前置阅读，是进入这个大长篇最自然的入口。第1册和第1卷是同一个意思吗？
这里指的是同一段开篇内容。原版以单期连载，之后按卷合集出版，中文分册体系与原版卷次对应关系可能因版本不同略有差别。全系列一共多少册？
原版合订本共有25卷（Collect Them All 版），收录了从《家族事务》到《万物终结》的全部内容；中文版的分册数量依不同版本与出版方而不同。This site is an index: you start “Search all sources” in your browser, and the entries it lists all point to third-party sites; please judge their availability yourself.
