100+ Definitions 40



Invincible #40

Invincible #40 (I#40):  The fortieth issue of Invincible conveys the battle of the Guardians of the Globe for the Sequid invasion ship. The fight doesn’t go well for the Guardians in this issue (although in the next issue the heroes win the fight).  A co-running story follows three members Earth-side battling the Lizard League at a nuclear missile silo.  The Liz League sunders at least 30 Dupli-Kates, thus killing the character.  Shrink Ray is eaten, and Rex-Plode has his left hand bitten off (imagine the chills a Freudian reading could produce with these oral elements) and is about to be shot in the head.

The superhero definition is one you’ve no doubt heard before.  A superhero is one that keeps striving and dies rather than gives up when faced with underwhelming or overwhelming odds.  Now that is dedication. 

Low-Frequency Listener: Uuggh….

I#40: Oh, crap.
