It was better than the last couple of issues.

yes

I heard Seth Rogen is now gonna make this a movie

no but it's about what I expected given the rest of the series and Kirkman's larger body of work

Did Mark get revenge on his rapist?

The best kind of revenge. The rapist died, apologizing to Mark, the black guy raised Mark's son for him, and Mark's son grew to hate his mom for raping his dad and denying him a natural opportunity to get close to him. Then, the son showed up, fought with him, and loves Mark even more now. The rapist is forever hated by her only son, and her own daughter was too young to remember her.

I'm kinda disappointed that Mark and Eve didn't have anymore children. Since she reincarnated every time she dies. You'd think they'd pop out a baby every 100 years or so. If I was immortal and so was my wife I'd want a big family.

they might've, but Terra was just a lazy-ass who didn't want to move out

Mormon???

It would have been cool if the last panel was him and eve standing there with 5 kids of varying age groups and Marky looking like the spitting image of his father. It would have given that 500 years statement more impact at the end.

One correction. She never apologized to Mark. She specifically said that she doesn't regret what she did and that Mark should understand.

Nope. Just trying to picture myself as an immortal intergaltic ruler with unlimited resources. A big family is some thing I'd want. Not when I'm just a guy living paycheck to paycheck on earth. Fuck that.

And then all your children will fight each other over the throne. In time, your empire will be divided and then it will fall.

he already has two kids, that ship has sailed

What is Eve's relationship with her halfbrother?

Almost nonexistent. Besides she's a year older than him making her the rightful heir.

Nonono. Let say one day, Eve is in a bar and she see a guy that looks a bit like her dad. This turns her on and decides to get some fun with him.

Would they know that they are siblings?

More yes than no. Doesn't make up for all the shit, but it reminded me why I liked the comic in the first place.

I don't think the daughter was hers. Viltrumite DNA kinda overides other species DNA in humans case making them a 95% to 5% hybrid instead of the usual 50/50 so the daughter wouldn't be black like her father. I think those two got married so they could raise their separate children as a family.

There was some user in the original thread for #144 that mentioned it would have been better if it ended on this page, and I agree. The two pages that come after this are just Mark and Eve standing on a balcony, reiterating everything that the previous three pages just established. Eve literally says "YOU CHANGED THE VILTRUMITES INTO A FORCE FOR GOOD CELEBRATED ACROSS THE UNIVERSE" and it just comes off more forced and less subtle than it would have been to just let those pages speak for themselves. But I guess it wouldn't be a proper send-off for Invincible if it didn't have Kirkman beating subtlety to death Viltrumite style one last time.

Those last two pages also gave us that shot of 500-year-old Terra in a swimsuit, so I guess it wasn't a total loss.

Could not get over the fact that Mark and Eve were presumably fucking for 500 years and only have one kid.

Her name is Terra and yes she knows about Markus she sees him once every few centuries

This, supported by the fact that we never see her after Marcus's time skip. She passed away along with her father, both of them human.

But under the right light and with a couple of drinks. Would they even recognize each other?

I mean, Terra's Electra Complex would trigger at the sight of his Otōto because he is very similar to his dad.

I agree this would have been a better send off. Or like I said have him there on the balcony with a few different children him and eve had over the last few hundred years. Also I love how smug Eve was when that alien hit Mark with a sword.

Plus she doesn't even consider him her brother.

Sooo... he turns into Superman?

Man, for a guy who hates Big Blue. Kirkman sure knows what he is all about.

...

>Mmm... Markus looks yummy. I can't believe I just said that.

So Mark has to die of old age or get mortally wounded before Eve can restore him, right? They're both practically immortal now so the empire is eternal.

Isn't Supes the ultimate hero though. It's only logical that Mark would turn into him at the end

>the black guy raised Mark's son for him
trope inverted

100% correct opinion. I read this page thinking: "huh, that's a pretty nice ending." And then there was another page. And another...

Looks like it

Marcus and Ursaal should have gotten together. Unite the Nolan and Thragg bloodlines

One thing I really wish they'd addressed is this hook from way back in issue #54. Immortal mentions that it's been 300 years since Mark and Eve left Earth, and the finale in #144 is at least 500 years in the future. So did Mark make periodic trips to Earth to make sure Immortal wasn't cracking under the pressure? Was using Rex's brain as an advisor part of his plan to prevent Immortal from cracking under the pressure in the first place? Is the future he saw here just null and void altogether? Would have been nice to see some kind of resolution... Or at least a few panels dedicated to what life on Earth is like 500 years post-Mark.

I don't think Kirkman is in this thread, so you'll never know user.

maybe it's an alternate future. That mark changed in the end also it could be that mark came to take marky 200 years in the future. and since then 300 more years have passed.

Markus was protecting Earth also Earth advanced to system of planted rather than just one. So I think this future was avoided. Because of Markus

maybe shell be like Olly where she gets lighter as she gets older.

He has his own onee san

Its assumed that the bug people dna had a greater influence on the offspring than human DNA did. Due to the rapid growth and ability to remember everything since birth I would guess that Ollie was probably an 80/20 split

She wouldn't push him into reenacting his mother and their father's "date," would she?

Rape and Incest? I don't think he could handle that.

Maybe? They probably would feel bad afterwards.

>Ok, Terra. We do this ONCE. But only because you are asking me nicely
>Oooohhh! Thank you, thank you, Markus! I will try not to make it uncomfortable for you!
>Fine, but remember, next time I want you to wear a red headed wig and-
>Shut the fuck up and eat my pussy, you fucking pansy

I'm rereading the series, just noticed something interesting- the symbol on the Green Ghost's t-shirt is exactly the same as the Viltrum Empire's emblem.

Probably just a case of Kirkman forgetting what he actually put in those first ten issues, but still kinda interesting.

I know right? My grandma had 13 kids.

It was alright but you can really tell they were wrapping it up in a rush. The fight against Robot should have lasted much longer.

Yeah that was disappointing
Maybe the Viltrumites were fans of the Green Ghost?

>and Mark's son grew to hate his mom for raping his dad and denying him a natural opportunity to get close to him.
Really? I don't remember that from the comic.

How long did she live?

He claimed that his mom doomed him to be bad because of the way she made him, unlike Terra who was born from love.

More resentment than hate I would say. His conception made him feel 2nd rate with and a desire to overachieve in order to live up to his dad's legacy since technically his dad did not want him and had no say in his conception unlike his sister causing him to lash out eventually in the only way he knows how.

lmao slutty grandma

Hey, now that's an interesting concept.

70s

Is it really slutty if it was all with the same man?

Yes.

>We do this once
>Next wear the red wig
>Once
>Next time

Sure! You do rape play once and keep fucking afterwards in different ways!

He might mean that particular roleplay is a one-time deal.

Oh man, I remember this comic about a town that gets infected with a virus that makes everyone horny. And a grandma fucks her grandsons and then more shit happens. It was pretty hot actually.

Wasn't that the whole plot of the joke The Aristocrats.

Yeah, but there was no shit, piss nor any sort of gore involved.

Anissa was so thicc.
She became my waifu after that issue.

My condolences. Eve clearly has no excuse

umm wtf... source?

...

How many men has she killed with those things?

The world record of most kids from one family is 69 step up your game Eve. You've had 500 years.

death by the ultimate snu snu

Did anyone storytime the final issue, please link?

desuarchive.org/co/thread/98655619/#98656015

>Mark rejected this

I think that future was one where Mark killed rex and didn't save his brain in a jar, leaving immortal at wits ends

URSAAL IS CUTE! CUTE!

Considereing it was no strings attached it made even less sense

I choose to believe that Ursaal scooped up Markus for herself.

What happened to Multi-Kate?

he was in a committed relationship, user

it is tied up though. Did you read the letters page for the issue? Kirkman literally answers two letters asking about it and explains how it's subtly explained in the last issue. Go check it out, it's neat.

Basically Rex's brain plays the long game into making the immortal's life hell to make him want to kill himself. And also Mark's empire might have to contend with a Rex run earth after the book ends as a sort of full circle kind of ending with a vultrimite mark coming to earth to wreck shit like his dad originally did. I thought that was a pretty sweet way to tie it all off.

Not important. Like everyone else, she logically died with the timeskips.

>I thought that was a pretty sweet way to tie it all off.
it would've been if he actually SHOWED IT

Technically he was newly single.

The two pages after aren't really necessary, but the callback to the conversation between Mark and Nolan during their fight was really touching.

Motifs, theming, and repetition are core part of Kirkman's storytelling in Invincible, and it's only natural then that the final issue(s) would feature so many callbacks and revists of those motifs and moments, which I felt made for an appropriate way to bookend the series. I can understand why not everybody agrees, though.

See, that's the kind of addition you don't leave at a story's end. It's a loose string, and unless Kirkman intends to do some kind of sequel series, it's an unnecessary one.

Kirkman seeded a bunch of plot ideas in the last issue to give the audience the feeling that the adventures continue without us. I thought it was a neat idea.

this

can someone post them?

I do like that Mark turned the Viltrumite empire into the silver-age lie that his dad told him it was, when he was a kid. That was neat.

>500 years old
>Still doesn't have a family of her own.
How did Terra become so worst and Marky Mark so best?

Terra has her father's taste and prefers dat good ol' Earth strange.

NEET

Terra realized she's never going to get a one-of-a-kind immortal wife like her dad, so she just gave up on real relationships. I'm sure it's all VR sex in the future anyway.

She could just marry a Viltrumite

>Terra didnt get any of her Mom's unchecked powers to become the most powerful thing in the universe

Booooo

She also didn't get her rack.
