Decided to reread my Invincible comics and started with a prequel. Still pretty good! Not a fan of Rex Splode but I do understand why he is the way he is in the main comic.

The Woman in Me

5.0

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

A deeply personal and tragic tale of a woman cursed by family trauma and used and the flaws of fame. I’ve been a fan of Britney since I could even talk and hearing her own story with her own words has been a revelation to me and has given me an appreciation for her. Love you forever Brit.

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did but the length and the ending brought it down for me.

A lot of fun! Got a bit bored in the middle and vastly preferred the flashbacks in the first section than the modern day ones but it’s well written and fast paced.
