INVINCIBLE COMIC SPOILERS or idk

Okay, I have to admit that this artstyle is the best shit that ever happened to me

Like it looks so hot abd cool and awesome omg.....i want to see the whole comic in this style i love it so much I want to draw in the EXACT SAME style for my whole life...

I love that Rex, despite being a little piece of shit, is really supportive when it comes to people who are somehow important to him

Yes, he is annoying and rude most of the time, but when it comes to supporting his bf and ex gf he's really good at it and I'm so proud if him...

The power Inconsistencies with Eve:

This is in no way to bash her as a character and more a slight critique to the writers xoxo

𖦹°‧★🌹⭒💌⭒🍓★‧°𖦹

Okay so I’ve seen a few people bring up how power scaling often doesn’t work when comparing characters from a game, show, or any other media. I personally don’t like power scaling, but to each their own. Now, Invincible has very odd inconsistencies with characters. Like Mark can be ran through a building and get back up but the electric shock of Powerplex will fuck him up? But also it barely affected Mohawk Mark? See what I mean?

I feel the biggest victim of the inconsistency in the writing is Atom Eve. Which Mark is a victim of this too but the most obvious for me is Atom Eve. I feel like we all know her power is OP as hell, that’s why they gave her the mental blocks as a plot line in the first place. But even WITH the mental blocks there’s still a lot she can do but the writers just won’t let her.

Yeah, it’s because they don’t want her to outshine Mark because he’s the protagonist, but then why give her that OP power? It’s probably because they wanted her to be able to be “immortal” or whatever but I don’t agree with that choice anyways.

They could’ve explained it too. Like saying that creating anything but those useless walls takes a lot out of her in terms of stamina. But they didn’t?

AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON HER SAYING TO MARK “now we just have to figure out how to afford a house” AFTER SHE GAVE HER DAD A GOLD APPLE AND AFTER SHE MADE HERSELF A TREE HOUSE AND AFTER SHE MADE THAT HOUSE FOR THE PEOPLE OR WHATEVER. That line truly pissed me off.

Anyways, imma call my yapping series called Screaming Into the Void.

Talking about Mark, Amber and Eve in Invincible:

This isn’t to hate on the show in any form, it’s a minor critique as I love to dissect and discuss parts of shows that I love. This is meant for me to rant into the darkness of the abyss, and maybe it’ll talk back to me.

Spoilers for Invincible- but just the show. Not the comics.

First off, I like Amber and I think people overhate her. I’m a firm believer that you are allowed not like a character and not have a reason, though usually your dislike will come from Something, because it’s your opinion. Where the problem begins, to me at least, is when you’re attacking anyone who like the character or have to be like “well I don’t like them” whenever they’re brought up in a positive way. Hey, how about this? Lemme talk about this character for one second without bringing up the fact you don’t like this character. Thanks! 🙏🏽

Amber meant a lot to me, when I first started invincible the first time- I was excited to see a black girl be the main love interest (as a black woman yk). I could tell by the way they were setting up she was about to be the disposable black girlfriend but I was in denial. (I could go on a whole rant about the treatment of black women in media and I might soon) At that time, I didn’t even finish season 1, or I don’t remember finishing it but I didn’t continue the series because I didn’t like gore. I finished season 2 and 3 this year and I do have to say I saw it coming. Mark and Eve getting together, and I will not lie- I was disappointed. I will say maybe my bias for Amber will cloud what I’m about to say but I also think I would’ve thought this regardless.

I don’t like how Mark and Eve’s relationship has turned out. I like all three of these characters- even when their actions get on my nerves. Season 3 made Mark and Eve feel unlikable to me. Maybe it’s whenever they’re together but still. A lot of what Mark and Eve were doing this season was having sex, and barely communicating further than “it’s not your fault” if that makes sense. It’s not like they don’t talk, period. They talked season 1, perhaps even season 2. Season 3 however Eve felt like a Yes Man to me, or more so just her comforting him for a bit before they have sex. That’s not a problem, but when you compare how Amber and Mark bonded in their relationship before they even had sex together it made me wish we had that in a way. It felt rushed, and I heard it’s because they cut a lot of the romance from the comic but it’s also why I think they should’ve had a gap before he got with Eve because it just FEELS RUSHED.

Now, for the moments that pissed me off the most. When Eve broke her leg and was in the hospital and he didn’t leave her side. I understand it’s not a typical break but him not leaving her just pissed me off. I understand that he might not make the best decisions at this age, but me being the same age, I’d be more worried for my brother and mother out there- like Cecil said. Then Cecil said Eve wouldn’t like that he was there the whole time, Mark said “I don’t care”. Don’t piss me off. PLEASE, could they have used this plot point because I guaranteed Eve WOULD have been pissed. In season 1 when Mark got dumped and didn’t want to help, she scolded him for it. She said she would rather save lives than pout like how he was.

And Rex’s funeral. They definitely fucked that up, because why was Rae the only one sad? I mean, Eve was, but that went down the drain when Mark was smiling and shi and then they fuck. “I’m just glad you’re alive” HUH. Brotha, someone you knew just died! And you two seemed to be friends in season 3 like huh????? I am a sucker for family dynamics, like Arcane, so when he seems to put Eve above his family I’m ngl it pmo.

And back to Amber, I loved her because of how fierce she was, the ability to stand up for herself. She reflects Debbie but certain fans don’t wanna hear that. Not saying Eve is a doormat by any means, she’s strong (even though the show constantly is nerfing her for Mark to be stronger), and was able to stand up for what she thought was right. I love Eve, just not whenever she’s with Mark, romantically at least. And I like Mark, except for when he’s with Eve. And I love Amber, period. I agree with all her points in season 1, talk to a wall about it if you don’t because I’m not changing my mind.

Anyways, I’m just screaming into the void so this doesn’t bother me that much anymore lol.

Finished Atom Eve art <3

Current WIP of Eve with flowers from Mark <3

So uh. Art dump #3, this time it’s just [TITLE CARD] based.

Also, I’m obviously not a consistent poster, but if you guys actually want to see more let me know and I’ll try to get more out often! Kinda just posting for fun to be honest lol

Eve Fashion Archive 🩳👚👖👗🩱

I MADE SOMETHING! ALL OF EVES COMIC OUTFITS ON A DOC!

Google Docs

Eve Fashion Megadoc

Fashion Archive Issue #2 Issue #3

I love Eve's comic outfits! I like them a lot, actually. I think they're very cute, feminine, pink and there's a little more detail than comic artists generally care to give. And they got a lot better as time went on, the early ones are fiiiiine, but I like them best after #20. So I've been working on making an archive? Compendium? Collection? Of every single one of her 100+ civilian outfits, and I just finished it! It's in a google doc, there's a few photos of each (some were difficult to get good angles of) and they're all labeled with the Issue # underneath🩷💫 Keep in mind that while I tried to only get her outfits in the photos, there may be accidental spoilers in the background! So if you're a show watcher or just not up to date on the comics, be cautious, especially because Eve wears a lot more civilian outfits further into things.

I'm probably going to make it into a tumblr post (or a few? I don't know for sure if it'll fit all the photos) and maybe do rankings on my blog, and highlight my favourites. There's only civilian outfits (so none of her superhero fit, uniform or special armour suits) and I think there's 109 total.

Also planning on making an entirely separate doc dedicated to just her earrings, because good lord does that woman own/magically create a LOT of earrings, which I don't feel is fully showcased here.

Probably won't do Mark! He's awesome, but he also didn't wear an interesting outfit until he moved to space.

Anyway that's all, I hope somebody out there cares even a tiny bit as much about this as me, maybe an artist who wants to draw her and needs reverences, or somebody as overly obsessed as me. Enjoy <3
