100+ Definitions 64



Invincible #64

Low-Frequency Listener (L-FL):  Again, the fight continues between Invincible and Conquest …for the entire issue.  Atom Eve is reborn by a pink-phoenix effect and helps her boyfriend in battle.  Invincible ends the fight in two pages full of head-butts that kill Conquest.  The juxtaposition of the Invincible war (lasting three days and containing every superhero in the Invincible universe, takes only one issue) and the battle with Conquest (involving four characters at most, and taking place over minutes or hours, and fills three issues) keeps demanding attention.

Invincible #64 (I#64):  Calm down.  Invincible is a solo book that focuses on the hero Invincible, the other heroes and characters are window dressing to the guy who has the title.

L-FL:  Yeah, I guess.  If you want the Rolling Stones, you don’t listen to She’s the Boss.

I#64: And since you’re determined to squeeze a definition for superhero from every issue, here’s the 64th version: a superhero is one who wins the fight.

L-FL: Huh.
