I would almost be on Robot's side if he hadn't cold-bloodely murdered so many heroes without giving them a chance to join him. Also, I don't feel he's actually doing this for the greater good, but because he likes power at this point. But I wasn't surprised to see heroes (and I agreed with Brit's speech about Cecil) join him.
Really enjoyed DA Sinclair and Monax in this issue also. Overall, a good check in on Earth and what is happening there.

Considering how often Kirkman pokes fun at Marvel and DC for rebooting things all the time, I am betting this is a temporary storyline, it wouldn't be the first time time travel was in Invincible, although previously Mark didn't lose his powers, but it may be something different. That and the image of the cover Ottley posted on Twitter says 'PART ONE OF THREE' on it.

other comics that aren't as good as Invincible
I think it will be just Mark's consciousness traveling into the past. He must be really careful though. Things like Oliver not being born might happen.
Who's worse: Robot or Rex considering where things are right now ?
Cecil maybe a jerk, but at least he had a bit of a heart and cared a bit.
To fix the world, at the state is has gotten to, we need someone who will approach the task with the cold, clinical view that a doctor learns to take of patients to keep themselves emotionally detached. VOTE ROBOT 2016. To keep with the medical analogy, surgery can be painful and debilitating, but it ultimately gets results. No pain, no gain.
Very often, usually with DC more than Marvel, I wind up rooting for the villains (especially Superman villains) and Mark has reached Clark Kent levels of pomposity. He is so ful of himself that he can not comprehend any path to peace outside his own. If the real world acted the way Mark is, there would be a civil war in America every time a Democrat replaces a Republican as President, or vice versa. Also, wasn;t the arc right before this all about Mark himself trying to kill a bunch of people to achieve a greater good? And it only took a handful of issues for him to completely change his mindset from Magneto's to Xavier's? Idk, Kirkman is getting a bit sloppy on this series lately.

I truly hope Kirkman has a way out for Rex to have a major fall...again and this time staying down.
Things are great, but I imagine there are plenty of unsavory actions that Rex is engaging in to maintain the peace. Mussolini "kept the trains running on time", but he was a tyrant dictator. Rex's previous actions show that he isn't averse to getting his hands dirty to have his dreams realized.
It could have been a little of both. I'm certain Mussolini was a "kill the messenger" type. He would only have to do it once and no one would ever complain again. Even though there wouldn't be any complaining, doesn't mean the engineers could slack off either. Mussolini telling people that the trains were always on time meant the trains BETTER be on time or else. It doesn't bode well for the person that makes the leader seem to be a liar.
People are definitely wondering about why things are going so well in the Invincible Universe. It can't be too hard to see that it ties into Robot's robots since they're probably all over the place. With some research, it wouldn't be hard to trace them back to their beginnings. "Man, those robots look awfully similar to the robots that were part of the Teen Team and Guardians of the Globe/Global Guardians." But, if anyone gets too close to the truth, then he/she/they simply disappear or have an unfortunate accident.
Yay, it isn't a reboot, just a time traveling arc to tickle the nostalgia bones of long time readers. This should be great, a welcome break from all the Robot/Viltrumite drama.
