Invincible

by Robert Kirkman

A teenager inherits his father's superpowers — and discovers that his father's mission on Earth is not what it seems. Mark Grayson is the son of Omni-Man, the most powerful hero on the planet. When Mark's powers finally manifest at seventeen, he begins training to follow in his father's footsteps. But the Grayson family legacy hides a secret that will shatter everything Mark believes about heroism, family, and what it means to be human. Based on Robert Kirkman's 144-issue comic series, Invincible is a coming-of-age superhero story that escalates from hopeful to devastating.
