** [[spoiler:Thragg's]] resolve to win is also worth mentioning. He may be [[spoiler:the leader of the most despised race in the universe, but at his core, his duty to ensure the survival of his species is more valuable to him than anything.]] In regards to this instance, he isn't fighting [[spoiler:Battle Beast]] for himself, but to [[spoiler:defend the dozens of Viltrumite hybrids he's already sired through the Thraxans]]; failure is NOT an option for this guy.

---> '''[[[spoiler:Thragg]]''': NO! You fight for glory, while I fight for the very existence of my people, whom I have '''sworn''' to protect at all costs! I WILL NOT FALL!

** The last time the two encountered one other, [[spoiler:Thragg]] took [[spoiler:Battle Beast]] down with one move. Here, the two are evenly matched throughout the entire fight, showcasing their sheer skill and brutality as they tear into each other for days on end.

--->'''Battle Beast''': I thirst for blood!
--->'''Thragg''': Then I will drown you in your own, maniac!

*** Look at how badly injured Thragg is during the above moment: [[spoiler: his eye has been gouged out, his skull split open, his innards are showing thanks to a large gash he received from the Ragnars before the fight even started, one of his arms is mangled, his body is littered with numerous other lacerations, is bleeding profusely, and yet he ''still'' managed to overcome his foe.]] Strongest of the Viltrumites indeed.

** The buildup to the fight was awesome in and of itself: Battle Beast lands on Thraxa knowing that the former Grand Regent of the Viltrumites is there, and when Thragg makes his appearance, BB's girlfriend unleashes a horde of Ragnars upon him...''which BB then slaughters just so he can have Thragg all to himself!'' Battle Beast then [[HonorBeforeReason slices his own stomach open to put himself on even footing with Thragg]], followed by the two exchanging [[BadassBoast badass boasts]] before finally going at it.

** After several days of beating the shit out of each other, their fight comes to a close when Thragg [[AndShowItToYou rips BB's heart out and crushes it in his hand]] while declaring "IT'S DONE"!

* Also from Invincible War, Rex Splode's HeroicSacrifice. The only thing getting in the way of the badassery that is charging his own skeleton to explode when finally out of options is the fact that this long lasting (if unpopular in-universe) character is the fact that it happens so hastily and doen't hold much impact due to the 'Event Comic In One Issue' nature of the book.
* A somewhat minor one for the author Kirkman. After the Viltrumite War, Mark returns home to find that Eve has gained a significant bit of weight since he left. Mark clearly doesn't mind at all, and while she does seem to drop a few pounds later on, the weight gain itself is not treated like a problem. Kudos to Kirkman for trying something so few comics would.
* The series in general has made quite an impact at Image, with various spin-offs and a much brighter tone than the infamous NinetiesAntiHero days, while still keeping excellent storytelling and the frequent gruesome imagery.
* Showdown between [[spoiler:Thragg and Battle Beast]] goes on for DAYS showing up as splash pages during unrelated issues while they continue fighting.

* Allen gets horribly wounded and hospitalized by a pair of Viltrumites. But it turns out that his powers work on the premise that whatever doesn't kill him makes him stronger... much stronger. The next Viltrumite to attack him received a very, very unpleasant surprise.
