The Infinite TPB [2011] by Robert Kirkman | Rob Liefeld



INFINITE TRADE PAPERBACK
Bowen infiltrates the Citadel of the Infinite and confronts Imperius and steals his time belt. Traveling eighteen years into the past and recruits his younger self Bo and his friend Case. Elsewhere Imperius and Core infiltrate and takes over a United States military base that will begin his takeover of the world. After six weeks of training, Bowen, Bo, and Case search for which military base Imperius has taken over. Writer Robert Kirkman tries his best with Rob Liefeld however comes up extremely short. The first four issues assemble the team with poor dialogue and predictable results. The Infinite would have been better if it were a finite series with a definite end.
