A gruesome story about surgery addiction. Very graphic and unsettling. Full of gore with a heartbreaking story, it was an interesting and horrific read.

I was not expecting any of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved how raw and how the art work had commentary on current beauty standards. It reminded me so much of hostel. I just wish we had more of it.

Really good drawings and the story was pretty exciting. Gruesome with some sharp characters. I really enjoyed it!

An enjoyable read although the ending was a little abrupt. The writing kept the story interesting and the artwork really drove the whole thing. Would recommend.

Thank you so much net galley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review! This is my first Cullen bunn graphic novel and it did not disappoint ! Review in link below

Well, that's the creepiest thing I've read for a while. I read body horror sometimes but there's something extra here, because the illustrations really bring the "ick" factor to a whole new level. This isn't very long but there's tension the whole time. It felt so real.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I'm a fan of many other Cullen Bunn books and though this had me interested the entire time, the ending fell flat for me. It explored an interesting body mutilating surgery concept that I haven't seen in other comics I've read and it was certainly creepy in my aspects, which I enjoyed, but it felt very fast and that ending left me with confusion that I feel could have been explained away much better.

This is gruesome and spooky and interesting! There's a lot of interesting commentary. It is quite underdeveloped though.

I really enjoyed this: body horror galore, strong cult vibes, and absolutely incredible art! What's not to love? Sure, the story might have been longer and more detailed, but the impact was terrific, disturbing, and memorable nevertheless. It felt like a great short story, or a short movie, where only the necessary information is provided and the viewers have to contribute some of the context themselves. Sometimes the art gets so good you really need to put the comic aside and allow the pleasure to set in. For that reason, perhaps 'Invasive' is better read in small doses, safe that the entire volume is available, as there are lots of gruesome twists and gory scenes to be appreciated in their own pace. Thank you Netgalley and Oni Press for the chance of an early read. All opinions are my own.

I thought I would enjoy this book from the cover graphics and description; however, I was disappointed. The story plot ended too quickly and didn't make a lot of sense overall. The graphics were the best part of the book; however, they could not save the weak storyline. Therefore, I cannot recommend this book.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

The art is very good, I turned the pages and looked at the ghoulish side of society in the form of beauty treatments, however the writing was lacking. Page 2 is full of the clichés of thriller mystery's and I have to say I was left disappointed by the story. Unfortunately due to this the art suffered.

Thank you to the publisher and net galley for sending me this arc.
This was a good quick little read with plenty of gore. The artwork I though was great but just wish the plot had a bit more to it.

Some great body-horror art but the story itself felt so bland. You don't know anything about the characters beyond surface level stuff, the crime itself seems shallow, there's not even a lot of detective work that goes on, besides the typical end there's no twists or red herrings. Unfortunately fell flat where it counts the most.

I'm a sucker for a horror mystery that inevitably finds its way into an abandoned building, bonus points if it houses a masked slasher. So it's no surprise that I had fun with this one.

With Invasive, Cullen carves out a twisted mystery that follows an epidemic of voluntary mutilation sweeping the area, and the places this story goes are bloody and mean. A highlight here is Dan Jackson's colors, be it the green glow of a patient monitor in a dark hospital, or the punchy reds of the villains' glowing eyes, Dan's colors made for some haunting frames.

While I think the bones of the grizzly story all work for me, the last two issues speed to a conclusion that did not feel earned. Revelations and motives felt flat, and climactic beats felt shocking for shock's sake.

In the end, I'd still recommend diving in. From the effective art and gnarly story beats, there's a lot to cut into.

Stars just for the art style — eerie and gory and fit the scenario. the rest didn’t live up to the art.
I felt like I was thrown into the middle of a series, no beginning no ending, no actual world-building to guide me.
The premise has potential, but it needs work and depth. This is a great teaser for something more, because that’s what it is. A snippet of what could be an interesting comic.

This book had a great plot with intriguing characters. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.

This is the first comic I’ve ever read
It was interesting and different i actually enjoyed the lay out and the plot
Will definitely be looking at reading more

This was a really interesting graphic novel. It was dark and had a great dark and bleak ending which I really enjoyed. I also liked the art style. It was gritty and dark without being ugly the way so many are. I did find the characters to be a bit flat and thats why I'm not giving this a higher rating.

I think this book had some good ideas, but needed more issues to really explore them. The finale felt incredibly rushed and character betrayals and twists felt completely unmotivated. The best part for me was the covers - incredibly dark and gory.

Invasive is going to ruin your appetite!

Invasive taps into a disgusting and terrifying part of the world. Surgery and those addicted to cosmetic surgery. This horror graphic novel took my brain to some terrifying places and I found myself having to put this story down from time to time so I could get the images out of my head.

Cullen Bunn has done it again by crafting another horrifying adventure that readers are going to love! And the ending is one that readers won’t see coming!
