Invincible #70
Low-Frequency
Listener (L-FL): Spilling forth from the pages plotted and scripted by
Robert Kirkman is another invasion of
Earth…
Invincible #70
(I#70): …another invasion that is nearly successful. The Sequids from Mars (tiny squids, not
spiders) strive to escape the force field containing them and enslave the rest
of Earth’s population.
L-FL: It’s
a similar story that you’ve read before dear reader, multiple times. Invaders menace, heroes work together, good
guys triumph. The uniqueness of this story
arrives when Invincible kills, on purpose, the innocent alien-host Rus
Livingston. Justifying his actions with
the rationale that killing one person will save thousands of others, Mark
Grayson experiences tough emotions in dealing with the consequences of his
first conscious homicide.
I#70: Such moral fallout hints at a superhero as a
being bound to an ethical life where individual lives possess worth and deserve
protection despite the false promise of a superior pragmatism through selected
murder.
L-FL: Such
a definition calls for larger discussions involving multiple others and much
more time and…we really need to talk….
