Invincible #48
Low-Frequency
Listener (L-FL): The issue
begins with a scene of Mark (the alter-ego of the superhero Invincible),
William and Rick (college buddies) walking and talking after an evening of
bowling. Rick, having a rough time
adapting to his new cyborg body, leaves his friend stranded in the parking
lot.
Invincible #48
(I#48): A scene shift moves
readers to the jailed supervillain Doc Seismic ranting about a comeback
equivalent to the Rolling Stones embarking on a Milky Way spanning rock and roll
tour.
L-FL:
Another scene shift shows the superheroes of the Image universe getting
attacked in their headquarters. Cecil
summons Invincible and Atom-Eve from Africa to
dig three miles beneath the surface. There they find every hero in the Invincible
universe trapped in bubbles by Doc Seismic.
Invincible and Atom-Eve are defeated by Doc Seismic and the monsters
under his control defeat Invincible and Atom-Eve.
I#48: So,
is there a superhero definition upon my pages?
L_FL: By
taking Doc Seismic’s attacks from underground as metaphorical, superheroes, despite
individual strengths, remain particularly vulnerable to attacks from
below.
I#48: I
win!
