100+ Definitions 70



 Invincible #70

Low-Frequency Listener (L-FL): Spilling forth from the pages plotted and scripted by Robert Kirkman is another invasion of Earth…

Invincible #70 (I#70): …another invasion that is nearly successful.  The Sequids from Mars (tiny squids, not spiders) strive to escape the force field containing them and enslave the rest of Earth’s population. 

L-FL: It’s a similar story that you’ve read before dear reader, multiple times.  Invaders menace, heroes work together, good guys triumph.  The uniqueness of this story arrives when Invincible kills, on purpose, the innocent alien-host Rus Livingston.  Justifying his actions with the rationale that killing one person will save thousands of others, Mark Grayson experiences tough emotions in dealing with the consequences of his first conscious homicide.

I#70:  Such moral fallout hints at a superhero as a being bound to an ethical life where individual lives possess worth and deserve protection despite the false promise of a superior pragmatism through selected murder.

L-FL: Such a definition calls for larger discussions involving multiple others and much more time and…we really need to talk….
