This was okay, but given the calibre of Kirkman's other writing, a bit of a disappointment. The lighthearted, one-off team-up between teen heroes Invincible and Spider-Man is fairly flat, especially the goofball repartee between the two, which felt pretty forced. More successful was the fast-paced "League Of Losers" tale, in which (spoiler alert) an invasionary force from the future comes back to wipe out all the superheroes at once, and take over the world. The only metahumans left are the "Losers," minor leaguers who never made it into the history books and who, thus, were not in the databases used by the future-world baddies. It's a good premise, and filled with the sort of second-string super-dupes that filled the pages of the original '70s "Team Up". The execution was fairly entertaining as well, although I missed Scott Kollins' artwork. An okay read, not as engaging as the earlier Kirkman MTU stories.

I am sorry to say that there is nothing special here.
A mildly interesting team up or two. Some romance.
A very run-of-the-mill story with some continuity problems.

Worth having at garage sale/thrift store prices. But even at Amazon's discounted price, I wouldn't call it a good value.

It simply didn't appeal to me, and I am unlikely to read it a second time. Others may enjoy it.
