Invincible Comic Book Universe Reading Order

October 21, 2016 by Dave 6 Comments

Invincible isn’t just one of my favorite comic books of all time, it’s up there for my favorite superhero comic book run of the 2000’s.

While Invincible is fantastic, it actually gets mildly overlooked due to writer Robert Kirkman’s otherworldly success with The Walking Dead (not to mention all the many great Image Comics). Nonetheless, it’s a brilliant superhero universe, that expands to a number of other Kirkman penned titles like Astounding Wolf-Man and Tech Jacket.

In general, you can read Invincible all the way through without worrying too much about tie-ins. Reading all the in-universe additions can really help fill out the world, though, and you’ll find a complete reading order for all those comics below!

Invincible Comics Fast Track!

The shortest, and easiest approach to reading Invincible is to check out Image / Skybound’s compendium editions:

Invincible Compendium Vol. 1

Collects: Invincible #0 to #47

Invincible Compendium Vol. 2

Collects: Invincible #48 to #96

Invincible Compendium Vol. 3

Collects: Invincible #97 to #144




Robert Kirkman's Invincible

Invincible Universe Comic Book Reading Order

Invincible: The Ultimate Collection, Vol. 1

Collects: Invincible #1 to #13

If you want to, you can mix in some other Invincible Universe works written by Kirkman as follows:

  • Invincible #1 to #6
  • Capes #1 to #3
  • Brit #1, Brit: Cold Death #1
  • Invincible #7 to #13

Invincible Presents. vol. 1: Atom Eve & Rex Splode

Collects: Invincible Presents: Atom Eve #1-2 & Invincible Presents: Atom Eve & Rex Splode #1-3

While actually published 4-5 years after the first issues of Invincible, this Atom Eve & Rex Splode collection flashbacks to a time before the first Invincible story arc. I still recommend reading it after the first Invincible story.

Invincible: The Ultimate Collection, Vol. 2

Collects: Invincible #14 to #24, Image Comics Summer Special #1, Invincible #0

The expanded universe reading order throughout the second ultimate collection is as follows:

  • SuperPatriot: War on Terror #1 to #4
  • Image Comic Summer Special #1
  • Tech Jacket Volume 1: The Boy From Earth (Tech Jacket #1 to #8)
    • Again, Tech Jacket technically occurs prior to the first Invincible story arc, but I would recommend reading after simply to familiarize yourself with the character.
  • Brit: Red, White, Black & Blue #1
  • Invincible #16 to #22, #0, #23 to #24

Invincible: The Ultimate Collection, Vol. 3

Collects: Invincible #25 to #35

The expanded universe reading order throughout the third ultimate collection is as follows:

  • Invincible #25 to #30

  • Invincible #34 to #35

      You are not welcome here, pointing out errors and misinformation of Dave’s GREAT READING ORDER! How dare you?

        I’d tend to agree with you except…it’s kinda apples and oranges. Leon’s list is individual issues (and sometimes pages and panels of individual issues); Dave’s is collections. Plus I’m sure Dave can handle it. If he couldn’t, he certainly has the option of deleting said post on his own website!

      Why anyone would want to break up individual issues by page number is beyond me. Flipping between a website and a floppy every couple of pages sounds like no fun
