While we were talking about the recent Disney/Pixar hit, Big Hero 6, my 8yo, Max, revealed that he had never seen The Incredibles. Feeling deep shame over this deficiency in his childhood, we immediately planned a Family Movie Night to correct the situation. Having finally seen this movie — which I place as the All Time Best Superhero Movie Ever — Max delivers his review. And big brother Alex chimes in with his thoughts. They identify favorite characters, best scenes and place the movie in the pantheon of superhero flicks. But before we get to any of that, Max catches us up with the latest in Pokemon Omega Ruby, which he acquired last Friday. He’s up to the sixth gym already, which evidently means something.
There are some Bigfoot problems that hit harder than others — and for certain legendary figures, male pattern baldness anxiety isn’t just about looks… it’s about legacy. Today’s comic imagines what happens when one very famous cryptid starts wondering if his myth might not survive a receding hairline.
What I’m Watching: Invincible, JJK, and the Great Animation Trade-Off
I’ve been watching Invincible with my sons, and I’ve got… thoughts.
First off: the story? Very, very good. Genuinely compelling stuff — even though the violence and gore is way past my personal comfort range. I'm not super comfortable with one character shooting another. The stuff that happens on a median-level episode of Invincible is a real challenge for me.
As someone who does NSFW comics, I'm constantly amazed at how perfectly acceptable Invincible is... yet an animated series based on Phil Foglio's XXXenophile would have people losing their ever-loving minds.

Further, it's a little disappointing to go from watching Jujutsu Kaisen (which we're also following at the moment) to watching Invincible.
JJK features jaw-dropping visuals and animation that constantly raises the bar episode after episode. It's phenomenal.

On the other side of the spectrum, Invincible clearly put all of its budget into getting celebrity voice talent. Some of them are very good.
I just wish a few of those Amazon dollars had been spent on the animation. Some of the scenes are pretty clearly PNGs that get enlarged to show an object moving through space, and it's a goddamned embarrassment.
But the story itself is very, very good.
