There was no splash page available, but that makes sense. Mister Invincible, as, 'The one and only true comic book superhero,' relies on his ability to take advantage of the structure of comics.
When attacked by killer robots in the second row of panels on the page, the version of himself in the third row of panels can help by sticking the handle of his mop up into the second row to trip the robots. Or he can travel from one location to another by simply calling someone in that location, and when the next panel shows the other character, he just hops over the panel border and lands beside them.
Given that, a full-page splash might be the closest thing to Kryptonite Mister Invincible has. No successive panels to leverage, just one static image surrounded by the "Great Beyond" of the gutters that surround the page.
Jousselin introduces other characters, with powers that manipulate or leverage different characteristics of comics. Perspective, or word balloons, or color. The comics are typically one page, although a few stories run for several pages, and alternately clever and funny. For a longer review, here's my write-up from October 2022.
