Subreddit for the Image Comics character Tech Jacket! From the Invincible universe. Created by Robert Kirkman.

Zack Thompson, a high school kid, finds a dying alien from a race of incredibly intelligent but physically weak beings called the Geldarians. To make up for this they have invented the Tech Jacket, a vest that every Geldarian is equipped with upon birth. Seeing the human and knowing his crashed spaceship is going to blow up and kill them both, the alien fits him with the Tech Jacket, saving his life.

Where was everyone else when the colossals were outside of earth

Like obviously tech jacket and invincible and guardians of the globe are reasonably heavily tied together, it seems weird during vol 3 to not have them show up at all

And based on the events of invincible I guess the canon is just completely split?

Possibility of a Tech Jacket Omnibus?

I don't want to spend $70+ to have tech jacket. Do y'all think Image Comics will ever release a Tech Jacket Omnibus, like what they did with Invincible Universe?

Lin cheated on Zack…

This sub is small and dead but I’ve just finished reading both Tech Jacket series back to back and… Man that was a massive quality dip for the character writing.

So at the end of the original Tech Jacket run, they agree to remain together but have an open relationship to ‘take care of urges’ but ‘us is still us.’ What they agree to Is polygamy, not polyamory, and those are not the same thing. Kirkman even follows up on it in Invincible during the Viltrumite War with Zack getting caught sleeping with an alien woman by Allen. Allen brings up that Zack has a Gheldarian girlfriend and Zack explains their open relationship again.

So when Lin shows up with her new girlfriend, Xi, that’s a pretty big violation of their trust. Granted, we never see them establish the exact ground rules of their open relationship, but the ending of the first run and his appearance in Invincible make it pretty clear that they’ll sleep around but are together in a romantic relationship. Lin getting with Xi in more than just a physical sense would be a violation of that trust, it should’ve been the mail in that relationship’s coffin.

I mean, I don’t think I’m crazy in that reading, right?

Tbh it just comes off as the writer of the Vol 2

  • Fetishizes bi-girls/lesbians

  • Does not understand the difference between polygamy (what Lin and Zack agreed to) and polyamory (what happens with Xi in Vol 2)

  • Skimmed Vol 1 once before starting to write Vol 2

Tech Jacket is a lot of fun for a fairly self contained teen hero Image comic. The premise is similar to Blue Beetle, Guyver and Max Steel. Kid gets cool alien suit and goes on adventures

(Comic spoilers) Whats the deal with Kanda?

Reading Tech Jacket Digital, the events following the Invencible War, and then Zack and Kanda tried to get intimate and Zack simply says that their bodies are not compatible ...

I understand that there is no further turn to the matter, but I can't help but wonder ... what's up with this? because on an anatomical level his bodies look similar, so in what sense will they not be compatible

Wow I’m surprised this is such a small sub Tek jacket is definitely worth the read to anyone stumbling on this sub

I bet this sub grows when the invincible airs if they hopefully give Tek jacket a bigger role in the show then comics maybe he could be a original member of the teen team
