This is Volume 12 of the long-running Invincible comic series, written by Robert Kirkman and drawn by Ryan Ottley, published in English as Invincible Vol. 12: Still Standing and collecting issues #60–65 of the main series. After a long struggle against the multiverse villain Angstrom Levy, Levy finally launches his full revenge: he summons evil versions of Mark Grayson from countless parallel worlds, setting off the event later known as the Invincible War. Cities fall one after another, heroes and civilians pay a heavy price, and Mark must hold Earth with almost no one left to call on. This volume also introduces the Vitrumite conqueror, pushing the series' conflict to a new height and bringing in guest appearances by several characters from the Image universe. The story leaves ruins and unanswered questions after a hard-won victory, setting the stage for an even greater war to come. Note that the new edition of Volume 12 released by Image Comics starting in 2025 collects issues #66–70 and Invincible Returns #1, a different lineup from the 2010 first edition; before buying, check the issue numbers listed on the copyright page.Editor's review
《无敌少侠》之所以被视为超级英雄漫画里的异类，就在于它从不肯让胜利免费。第12卷正是全系列最凶险的转折之一：安格斯特罗姆·莱维的复仇把马克自己变成最大威胁，数十个平行世界的「另一个他」同时涌入地球，英雄们第一次面对一场根本打不赢的战争。柯克曼的剧本节奏极快，奥特利的画面把大规模灾难画得既壮观又残酷，几乎每一页都在打断你对超英漫画的惯性期待。对追过动画的读者来说，这一卷对应动画第三季最震撼的部分，读来会更觉分量；对老读者而言，它标志着系列从「少年成长」正式滑向「宇宙级冲突」的分水岭。需要提醒的是本卷暴力描写直白，不适合低龄读者。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 已读过《无敌少侠》前11卷、想继续主线剧情的读者
- 看过亚马逊动画《无敌少侠》第三季，想对照原作的观众
- 喜欢反套路、带悲剧重量的超级英雄故事的漫画读者
- 研究欧美长篇连载漫画叙事结构与跨刊联动的爱好者
Not a good fit for
- 第一次接触《无敌少侠》、尚无背景了解的读者
- 偏好轻松幽默或合家欢风格漫画的读者
- 对血腥、大规模伤亡画面较为敏感的读者
Reading tips
- 务必按序阅读：本卷大量前情来自第25期之后安格斯特罗姆·莱维的恩怨，先读前几卷更顺。
- 读时可留意「另一个马克」之间的差异，这是理解主角此后行事风格转变的关键。
- 读完后对照动画第三季相关集数，能看出改编在人物与节奏上的取舍。
- 购买中文版或新版前先确认版权页收录的期号（60–65 期或 66–70 期）。

FAQ
这一卷和动画第三季是什么关系？
2010年初版第12卷收录第60至65期，正是「无敌战争」篇章，动画第三季对其做了较忠实的改编；而2025年新版第12卷改为收录第66至70期，对应动画第三季结局之后的剧情。没看过前作能直接读第12卷吗？
不太建议。本卷大量依赖主角与安格斯特罗姆·莱维的旧怨、维特鲁姆人的威胁等前情，直接阅读会较难进入，最好从系列前几卷开始。为什么第12卷有收录内容不同的版本？
Image Comics 在2025年推出新版平装系列，重新划分了各卷收录的期号，因此新版第12卷（ISBN 9781534328044）与2010年初版内容并不一致，购书前务必核对版权页。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.
About the author
Robert Kirkman AuthorRobert Kirkman is a creator active in comics and media tie-in fiction; public information about him in Chinese is currently limited. Judging from the 52 works held in the collection, his output spans superhero, fantasy, and children's literature, with common categories including premium fiction, media tie-ins, comics and cartoons, fantasy novels, children's books, and art. Representative works include volumes 9, 17, 18, 19, and 23 of the Invincible series, as well as Haunt volume 9 and volume 12 and The Haunt volume 11. These works are mostly released as ongoing series in multiple volumes, combining heroic adventure with fantasy elements; visual storytelling and genre-driven plots are important features of his creative profile, giving his works a certain influence among comics readers and those interested in screen adaptations.
Ryan Oatley AuthorRyan Oatley is a comics creator about whom little public information is available. Only two of his works are currently on record, Invincible Volume 12 and Blue Beetle: Haunt Volume 1, and his books are usually grouped under art, photography, children's books, and comics and cartoons. Judging from these titles, his work involves superhero themes and visual storytelling, appealing to both adult readers and younger audiences. Because no reliable records exist for his dates of birth and death, nationality, or personal history, his writing style and broader influence in the field cannot yet be assessed in any systematic way; only the subject matter of these two books offers a basis for judgment. For readers hoping to learn about him, these two works are the most direct entry point, while a fuller picture of the author still awaits further public information.
Corey Walker AuthorCorey Walker is an author about whom limited public information is currently available; details such as nationality and dates of birth and death remain unclear. The library holds seven of the author's works, all belonging to the Invincible series, including Volume 1, Volume 6, Volume 8, Volume 9, Volume 12, Volume 16 and Volume 23, indicating that the author's work is closely tied to the arrangement, compilation or tie-in publishing of this comics series. On the site, these works are categorized under premium fiction, film and television originals, art, film and television, photography and children's books, suggesting that the content combines visual storytelling with screen adaptation and reaches both young and adult readers. Because the available material confirms only work-level information, the author's writing style and personal influence cannot yet be fully assessed; readers may understand them in light of the visual and textual features of the Invincible series.
Cliff Rathbone AuthorCliff Rathbone is an author about whom limited public information is currently available; the Chinese-language book database contains only one work by this name, Invincible Vol. 12. Judging from the title and its classification, the book falls under art and photography, and its content most likely revolves around visual storytelling, image-based expression, or a related art book, companion volume, or visual reader tied to the Invincible subject. Because details such as birth and death dates, nationality, and personal history cannot be verified, it is difficult to trace a complete creative trajectory or academic background, and neither his professional identity in the field nor his previous output can be confirmed. The available material suggests only that Rathbone's work is presented primarily through images and visual materials, and readers interested in illustration, photography, or related visual arts may find it useful for reference. Overall, public information about this author is very scarce, and his writing style, creative approach, and influence cannot be assessed until further material becomes available.
