100+ Definitions 95



 Invincible #95

Low-Frequency Listener (L-FL): Themes of duality and monsters and robots and empires and lovers continue in this issue of Invincible.  The pages ambulate through Robot and Monster Girl’s story with all but four pages of the book.

Invincible #95 (I#95): The story on Flaxan depicts Robot and Monster Girl’s continual climb to political power.  Through snippets of time readers witness the growth of their regime and the growth of Monster Girl’s human body.

L-FL:  The panels also show the passing of passion as Robot becomes more and more preoccupied with the problems and demands of governing the Flaxan civilization.  This estrangement, along with Robot’s brutal treatment of the past Flaxan royal family, contributes to Monster Girl hooking up with one of the members of the royal family (in her monster form).

I#95: The issue ends with Monster Girl telling her actions to Robot and the secret revelation that Monster Girl’s paramour is pregnant.

L-FL: After this reveal we flash forward to the present Flaxan invasion of Earth where Monster Girl learns she has a son and that the heroes currently attack him.   The action bouncing around in the panels of these pages suggest a definition of superhero as one capable of recognizing and admitting when he steps from his selected ethical selection.

I#95: Let’s finish this.
