BOX 1870 Dn Pec OL Rey YA First off... hey—I'm sorry. It's not easy for ME either, you know. | didn’t WANT to kil Atom Eve... kinda had to, Please don’t hold it against me. | mean, Hove her as much as the next guy, maybe more. I feel your pain, really Ido. And yes, lay it on me... 'm ready for the ‘on. It's all part ofthe story, it had to be done. IF any of you reading this are actualy thinking of quitting the book simply because Eve is dead... all | ask is that you give me ‘one more measly issue to make sure that her death was at least ‘worthwhile. | promise that at the very least... this will be anything but a meaningless death. You can trust me. Right? So....changing the subject a littl... mail? Robert Kirkman, explode! Nooo!!! Just when everyone was starting to like him. He will be missed, Don't worry, | promise not to kill anyone else for at least... uh. never mind. | have to say I was sort of surprised to see “Conquest Part One” tacked on the cover of issue #61. thought you weren't a fan of “Part 1 of X” comic books. And the extra banner across the top made it look like some sort of Marvel comic, like Dark Reign or something, That's the idea. | thought it would be a neat gag if a one-issue crossover had an aftermath banner just like all other big crossovers... and in this case, the aftermath is WAAAAAY longer than the event, Conquest the character looks pretty neat, reminds me of my gym teacher last year actually. So when Mark beats this guy i'l be: One down, forty nine to go, huh? | believe Notan said “less than fifty,” right? So who knows how few there actually are, ‘And why do Zechariah and Chloe have costumes that look ike Invincible’? Blame Jason Howard. It's meant to be like a wooden stake or spike... but yeah, the curved thing at the top. | didn’t notice how ‘similar it was until it was too late. There's no connection. ‘Anyway, Keep invincible awesome, James DeAngelis, ‘We'll do our best. Hey, what up Kirkman? Pals ‘Soll caught on late to Invincible, but love the hell out of what you're doing, Not just singing your praises, but you write some good stutt (Question number one is how you got started with Image: The Process of submitting an idea like Invincible and getting it going, ‘What was that like? Long and hard or sweet and short? ‘Well, there are submission guidelines online at imagecomics. com, My experience was pretty good, obviously. | got pretty speedy replies but I quickly formed a friendly relationship with everyone at Image. It it takes a while to hear back, you don’t necessarily need to fear the worst, it's not a great sign because | think most people will admit that if their socks are knocked off you'll hear from the fast (before their feet get cold—HAR) but it’s not the end of the world, ‘And my first Image submission was rejected. ‘Also, as a writer do you just present ideas and hope that the fat cats, at Image bite? And did you take any creative writing classes along the way before you made it with comios? Image publishes comics, not scripts. If you're a writer you have to find an artist and put a comic together. Unless you're an established pro—then we do a little match-making from time to time... but for newbies... i's trial by fire, wanna make comics? You gotta make a comic. Here's hoping that Battle Beast comes back to kick some Viltrumite ‘ass a8 a hired gun. Tag team with Invincible, Harlem Heat-style, baby!! WCW wrestling reference might be lame sorry) (Which one is Booker T? —Aubrey). Hope you print tis, long live super heroes and zombies, YEAHHHH! (in a Howard Dean voice) George Sanchez Hah, Aubrey GOT the WCW reference. What a nerd. Hi again, ‘What its Mr. Kirkman? I just have a few questions for ya that maybe ‘you will answer. 1.1 ove handbooks, and the Invincible ones are great! | was just wondering if there were any plans on some updates with like Wolf- Man, Brit, Powerplex, and Kid-Omni Man? | would be all over them! No plans right now. Sorry. 2. Anything coming up about the books Mark’s dad wrote? YES, 3, Who is your most favorite character you have EVER created? My kids, 4, Who is your favorite MarveV0C character? Spider-Man... but I'm over the desire to write him. At least for now. 5. This one is for Mr. Ottley: Who is your favorite character to draw? Robert Kirkman ‘Anyways thanks for your time! I can't wait for Haunt! Keep ‘em coming on time in “09 and beyond! Adios, Beau Patton Shouldn't be waiting for HAUNT much longer... very excited. Hello Robert, | just got finish reading Invincible issue #61, and as expected it was ‘awesome. | can guess what is going to happen next issue: Mark's Going to get his butt whipped and just before Conquest delivers the kiling blow, Olver will intervene and die in the process. Then suddenly, Atom Eve will appear and turn Conquest inside out. The end. Am I right? Anyway keep up the good work, wil Nope. Dear Mr. Kirkman Let me start by saying: F***ing awesome series, dude. You've almost single-handedly brought back my love of serialized comics. l came into the series lat, but picked up the hardcovers #1 through #3 and around that time issue #47 was out, so me thinking | was a smart uy, started buying single issues with #49 on (you can see where this is going). So, as I not so patiently sit on 13 issues, | wonder: When isthe fourth hardcover coming out? Thanks, Kurt There was a huge delay on the 4th hardcover, due entirely to me being somewhat irresponsible. BUT... it's out now. So please, be a dear and pick that sucker up. Enjoy! Dear Penvincipals, ‘Thanks for another great issue. There is some serious action going ‘on now. Seeing the aftermath of the battle from #60 is devastating ‘My one worry is that these big events will lead to more crossover issues with other comics. | really lke the fact that when | read Invincible | don't have to read any other comics to get what is going (on. The other companies spread storylines over way too many ‘comics and 0 I don’t even bother with a lot of the stories, It is new and refreshing to see a comic that contains its storyline in one comic ‘and | hope you will continue this trend, Thanks again and I look forward to this batle with Conquest! Sincerely, Magic Mike It will be a rare occurrence for this series when you're asked to read something else. And y'know... issue 60 was completely self-contained, So there! We do have something special planned for later this year, early 2010, but | promise... it'll be worth it. Dr. Kirkman, | presume. ‘Awesome issue! | ove the devastation! The clean-up and ongoing “Aftermath is really great. One thing that bothers me about comics js how gigantic events happen in one issue and next issue life goes on as fit never happened. Keep up the great follow-up! | ama litle cisappointed at how easily Powerplex isto defeat now (Who is that rock guy? He is cool!) Hopefully he will return better than ever, We've not seen the last of PowerPlex. | promise. And that “rock guy” was BADROGK, of YOUNGBLOOD fame. A creation of Rollicking Rob Liefeld! The regret Mark is feeling fr all the tragedy that goes along with being the most powerful hero on Earth is really working. Love the tears over Eve and the hopelessness he shows when he uncovers the dead git in the rubble. Over is a good brother reassuring Mark about it not being all his fault. Keep Omni-Boy coming! | love Oliver ‘as much as Invincible. | can’t wait until he gets his own book! That’s probably not going to happen anytime soon. |1am ready for the Sequids to make their big move! They almost ‘won last time. It is going to be spectacular. (A couple of more. ‘compliments and | will be done.) Conquest is the bomb! The last page was incredible, Ottley isthe shit We'll be seeing the Sequids again very soon. ‘Why can't Mark be a little smarter when it comes to dealing with the Vitrumites? All he as to do is play along with Conquest and he ‘would leave him alone. At the very least it would buy him and Earth ‘some time to plan a defense. | guess Mark is under a lot of strain at the moment, but mast of the time he is just too rash when dealing with them. This time, for sure. But | will point out that they appointed him the Viltrum Agent of Earth and he pretty much went along with it. Although, his job was to take over. When Conquest arrived, he hadn't taken over... he couldn't talk his way out of that. ‘Why would Mark sit down with Cecil? ! mean Cecil almost killed him in issue #50. | know Mark is the embodiment of honesty and righteousness and all, but he really needs to slap that dude's head off, Don't get me wrong, | like Cecil, but from Mark's point of view he really owes that guy big. Until you Kill of Olver (and probably after, but | will be pissed) | will be a loyal fant Allen S ‘There was a lot going on and Cecil is integral to fixing the ‘world. So Mark's hands are kinda tied there. So that's it, kids. Thanks for reading. —Robert Kirkman LET OUR COLLECTIONS COMPLETE YOURS.
