Invincible Vol. 12

Summary
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

- 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。
