With Invincible on Amazon Prime, that series is on my mind again, and I went back and reread the first two volumes, and something stuck out to me. So, Kirkman's talked about how he pitched his Walking Dead comic to the publisher as "look, it's gonna be zombies at first, but then we're gonna reveal the twist that they're actually the first invasion wave for aliens!", and then when he told them that he lied about that after the sales figures came in, they laughed all the way to the bank about it. Paraphrased, but still. I'm wondering if that's something like what he did with Invincible? Because, y'know, the thing that happens- Omni-Man killing the Global Guardians- happens after the first few issues of what appears to be a perfectly normal, kinda goofy superhero series. D'you think he had a plan to write a more straightforward story if the sales had been strong enough, or had the plan been the twist all along, and his real talent was just rolling his plot in whatever direction fit the tone of things? I dunno.

I don't think Kirkman plans more than a single arc ahead of time.

The original plan was for the twist to come up a couple years in, but sales were waning so the reveal got pushed forward.

It was a good comic at first, but then it just didn't stop, which seems to be a problem with Kirkman.

So I'm interested in this but there's concerns about the packaging and image quality in the reviews. Thoughts? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B07VGLHCJC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1NFYUP9OOHACP&psc=1
