I read the comic a while ago. Right after the last issue of the walking dead, I looked into Kirkmans catalogue, and thoroughly enjoyed invincible. The story journey is a lot of fun. He plays with a lot of comic tropes. The worst part is that he doesn't quite nail the ending. I won't get into spoilers, but everything is set up for a much better ending, but he goes with a common trope. So it's doubly disappointing.
A lot of writers do that when the audience guesses the ending. It's frustrating, because the ending should be guessable, since it is what the plot is leading towards, and having a "predictable" ending isn't the same as having a cliche one. If anything it just means the story is well written and coherent.
