Minisode #8: Invincible Universe
Hey all and welcome to the final episode of comic book material for Invincible! It’s been a long and crazy ride but we go out in style with this must read volume. It does feel like a continuation of Guarding the Globe but with a few bright spots with kind of the same problems.
Join us next time when we talk about… stuff? Things?

Minisode 7: Guarding the Globe
Hey all this week Andrew and Brennan discuss the two volume Guarding the Globe series! This is probably one of the best, if not the best, of the extended universe books. It has it flaws but it's still a fantastic read that any Invincible fan should make sure they read.
It tells a good story, with great art, interesting characters and fits really well into the Invincible Universe. Also, this is the penultimate comic review of the series! Join us next time for the final comic book review featuring Invincible Universe, see ya there.

Minisode 6: Astounding Wolfman
Welcome back after a brief but much needed hiatus. Glad you could join us for this extra crucial minisode of Invincible Principal where we talk about the underwhelming Astounding Wolfman.
Andrew and Brennan spend a good 20 minutes talking about their feelings towards this book. Spoilers… they spend a good chunk of time talking about other stuff as this book is kinda unimportant.
Come back next time when we talk about the much loved Guarding the Globe!

Minisode 5: Invincible Presents: Atom Eve and Rex Splode
Welcome to the latest minisode where the guys talk about Invincible Presents Atom Eve and Rex Splode, an fairly inoffensive, hero origin story for Rex.
Brennan says it best in the episode, this book is for anyone who wants more Rex. It’s about Rex and his first time meeting Eve. It’s fairly middle of the road but the art is fantastic, done by Nate Bellgarde, and it’s overall a fun read.
Join us next time when we continue our exploration of the Extended Invincible Universe.

From the Vaults: The New 52
So they boys had to take a slight break this week as life got in the way. Enjoy this classic episode of our original attempt at podcasting, Random Cinema, where we didn't talk about a movie and rather discussed all the number 1’s of DC Comics New 52 rebrand… all the way back in 2011!
We’ll be back soon with Atom Eve and Rex Splode!

Volume 26: Wrap Up
This week Andrew and Brennan sit down and discuss how they feel about Invincible as a whole. We discuss the ups and down, but mostly ups of this series and what makes it a unique and special super hero title. We also discuss comic books in general a little.
Don’t worry this is not the final episode of the podcast, just the last time we’ll talk about the comic series with such depth.
Also this week has 2 neat auditory things. The first is… WE HAVE MICS NOW! So forgive Andrew fucking with his every two mintues for the beginning. The second is… ANDREW WAS SICK! So please forgive his raspy “Joe Pescii” voice.
See ya next time when we discuss… something.

Volume 25: The End of All Things Part 2
This is it all, the end. Join Andrew and Brennan as they discuss the final volume of Invincible. It’s ups, it’s downs and how it all feels at the end. This is the bittersweet end of the road.
However this is not where we part ways. Be sure to continue to join us next time as we discuss how the series felt as a whole, the things we liked, the things we didn’t and find out a little more about just where the show goes from there.
It’s been a hell of a ride, thanks Kirkman, Ottley, and Walker for the wonderful story and beautiful art of… Invincible.

Volume 24: The End of All Things Part 1
This week we talk about the beginning of the end! We rejoice at the triumphant return of Ryan Ottley, rejoice at the pure fun of Terra and Deb and talk about the redemption of Oliver and the dirtying of Allen’s hands. We also discuss the Viltrumite family dynamic and how it affects the Viltrumites, as well as the cost of war. This is the penultimate volume in the series, but don’t worry fans we have plenty more episodes to come. So stick around avatar we finish the comics as we’ll be delving into the ever expanding universe of… Invincible.
Also as a note, we will be taking the holiday’s off so there will be no new episode of Invincible Principal (or Random Cinema) but we’ll have a holiday special! I am contractually obligated to tell you that it will not be an hour long collection of fireworks displays/angry people fighting. Happy Holidays!

Volume 23: Full House
Hello and welcome to Invincible Principal! The show where we complain about a returning artist for like ⅔’s of the show! But no seriously despite our comments about the artwork for this volume, we did enjoy it and the art is professional and well done… just not in a style we like… just listen to the episode, you’ll understand.

Volume 22: Reboot
This week we read Volume 22: Reboot! We revisit Earth briefly before we return to the ongoing trials and tribulations of Mark and Eve trying to adjust to Talescria. They don’t get very much time together before Mark is called away to take out Thragg (and the Thraxxans of Thraxxa… or is it Mantia?). Then the worst happens… Andrew and Brennan disagree about something in this book! Who’s right (it’s Andrew) and who’s wrong (it’s probably also Andrew)? Join us for the ups and downs of this volume… and for the continuing journey towards the vast ending of… Invincible Principal.

Hello listeners! It's Andrew here with a quick note. Brennan and I have had a few shakes up in the last few weeks (all positive!) that have forced us to change our recording schedule. So what that means for you is that we are taking the month of September off from releasing. We are using that time to set a new recording that works best for us and allows us to keep up our release schedule. We will be back on October 9th with Volume 12: Still Standing! See ya then, and thanks for listening.

Also please forgive the abrupt change in audio, there was a problem with our recording device but it is fixed now and only caused a slight problem. We also are dumb and call this volume by the wrong name several times in the first half of this episode… whoops!
