The Invisible Man has always been one of the more unorthodox Universal Monsters, primarily because he isn't a monster at all. He is as human as they come, and Tynion uses that to mirror humanity's darker impulses in Image Comics' The Invisible Man #1. The scariest thing about Griffin is that he's only just a man.

Universal Monsters: Invisible Man #1 isn't about spectacle: it's about dread. It's about watching a man rationalize his worst impulses and stepping willingly into the abyss. For fans of horror, it's not only a faithful update of one of Universal's greatest icons, but also a reminder of how scary a truly human monster can be. Read Full Review
Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man is a chilling and thoughtful reimagining of a classic tale, one that does not shy away from the uncomfortable truths at its core. Read Full Review
Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man #1 breathes new life into a classic allowing old fans and new readers to discover the horror story mixed with beautiful visuals. It's a nice slow build for what should be a rather unnerving and scary time in future issues. The debut builds on the tension of the situation as the anger grows within Jack for what we know will be an eventual explosion. It's a solid take on a story that has survived over 100 years for a reason. Read Full Review
UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: THE INVISIBLE MAN #1 offers a compelling dive into the mind of a scorned genius, even if its narrative jumps can cause a momentary whiplash. The origin story is meticulously crafted, and the art holds its own, but a smoother introduction would have solidified its impact. It's a sharp start, but a few rough edges keep it from truly disappearing into greatness. Read Full Review
This first issue tackles the very beginnings of one of the most famous movie monsters. James Tynion IV keeps the origins mostly the same well adding his touch to the character. The fact that issue one is a backstory origin of a famous monster with over 100 years of linage is an odd choice. It feels almost pointless and a waste of an issue as the origin story has been told thousands of times. Also, the choice of making Jack Griffin almost strictly an asshole, rather then a flawed, bullied, and tragic character seems like another odd choice. Granted this is issue one, so plenty of time to change course. Read Full Review
The art might just be a bit tough to swallow in the start of the comic if you're used to read only Spider-man comics. I assure you that this is an absolute amazing comic and you get used to the flow after a few pages. Not yet a masterpiece, but it has the potential!!
Solid. With potential for much more.
