If Invincible is “gore porn” then so is, say, Saving Private Ryan.

There's a difference between gore for the sake of gore (as in Ennis' works, for instance) and gore for the sake of telling a story.

(Though, frankly, the amount of gore in Invincible is extremely limited anyway, so it's kind of weird that you're choosing to fixate on a few pages out of 144 issues.)

Comparing Invincible to Saving Private Ryan is offensive. That movie is better than any arc or chapter Invincible has to offer. It actually has a life lesson to teach and it uses the gore to show the horrors of war.

Invincible? Rofl. People get dismembered left and right because the author feels like it. There is no nuance, no substance, no symbolism to the gore. Invincible gore is not just “a few pages”. The visceral imagery is key to the experience of the comic.
