Thought Invincible was overhyped until I binged the whole run in 3 days

Kept seeing everyone rave about it but the premise sounded dumb to me. Found a cheap tpb at a used shop for $8, read the first issue and couldnt put it down. Anyone else sleep on a series and then get totally hooked?

Slept on Invincible for years because I thought it was just another superhero comic trying too hard... then a buddy handed me the first compendium and I didn't see sunlight for a weekend. My own fault for judging a book by its "guy in a blue suit" cover, I guess. Used to think I was too cool for the hype train, turns out I was just late to the station.

Ngl, that's exactly what happened to my buddy @rowan725. He spent like a month trying to get me to read it and I kept brushing him off until he basically threw the first trade at me and told me to shut up and read it. Now I owe him one.

My buddy Mike from work was the same way with East of West. He kept seeing it on every "best of" list and rolled his eyes for like two years. Finally caved during a bad week and bought the first hardcover on a whim. Called me at 11pm that night saying he just finished it and needed to borrow the next volume before work the next morning. Now he's the one shoving it into everyone's hands.
