Invincible Season 2, Part 1 Review

by Julian Cannon November 5, 2023
written by Julian Cannon

The second season of Invincible takes us deeper into the intricate world of its characters. When Omni-Man isn’t helping with Viltrum’s expansion plans, he leads a seemingly ordinary life as Nolan Grayson, alongside his wife Debbie. Mark, his son, has embraced his powers as Invincible.

Based on Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley’s comic series, Invincible manages to maintain the complex storytelling of its source material. The first season’s shocking revelation of Omni-Man’s true nature sets the stage for an intense battle that has dire consequences for Chicago and its residents.

A poignant aspect of the season is Debbie’s struggle with depression and alcoholism, offering a raw portrayal of her pain. The series addresses concerns about its pacing, delivering more focused storytelling, emphasizing the idea that superpowers do not inherently create heroes but often lead to danger. The introduction of Angstrom Levy, a multi-dimensional portal manipulator, highlights the consequences of good intentions gone awry.

Familiar characters return with their own unique quirks. The Lizard League remains bumbling, while the Mauler Twins bring humor as they navigate their clones. The eccentric Doc Seismic introduces a philosophical perspective, and the Atlanteans are enraged by Omni-Man’s actions. Mark and Amber begin college life, their experiences reflecting the challenges of dating a superhero.

Amidst new beginnings, the threat from outer space looms, reminding us that the Viltrumites won’t let go of their grudges. The complex father-son dynamic between Omni-Man and Mark adds depth to the narrative, leaving us eager to explore the unresolved issues.

The season’s finale for the first half showcases Mark, Amber, and William’s graduation in a charming scene. As the series delves into more nuanced aspects of superhero life, it leaves us contemplating the evolving landscape of the superhero genre, from a childlike fascination with Superman to the teenage angst and violence explored in this generation of superhero narratives. We’re left wondering what a mature, Zen-like superhero story might entail in the future.

In the case of Invincible, it’s evident that the decision to split the season was made with the intention of delivering a high-quality viewing experience. While the wait can be challenging, it’s often well worth it. This structure allows the creators to take their time to deliver a satisfying and well-executed story. So, while the wait may be difficult, it often pays off in terms of the final product.

On The Scene: ‘Invincible’ Virtual Premiere

by Samantha Coulter March 23, 2021
written by Samantha Coulter

On Monday, March 22nd Amazon Prime Video held a virtual premiere for Robert Kirkman’s newest animated series Invincible, starring Steven Yeun, J.K. Simmons, Sandra Oh, and many other big names in Hollywood. 

Invincible tells the story of Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), a seemingly average teenage boy, who is the son of the most powerful superhero in the world Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons). Since Mark’s mom Deborah (Sandra Oh) is a human, he gets to live a somewhat normal life. Or at least he does up until he starts developing his own powers right at the start of the series and decides he wants to fight bad guys just like his dad does. 

This series is based on a comic book series by the same name from Skybound Comics. The first Invincible comic was released in 2003 and had a fifteen-year run, before concluding in 2018. Over the years, Invincible appeared in 144 issues and many spinoff series. He has become a beloved superhero by comic book fans around the globe.

The Invincible series is already being recognized for its impressive voice cast, which includes Seth Rogen, Gillian Jacobs, Zazie Beetz, Jason Mantzoukas, Mahershala Ali and so many more stars. The series is also being applauded for the diversity within this cast. Robert Kirkman, who created the Invincible comic series alongside Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley, serves as the creator of the animated series. This is not the first time one of Kirman’s comic book series has been adapted for television. Back in 2010, his comic book series The Walking Dead was turned into the wildly successful television series of the same name. 

Amazon announced in 2018, that the first season will consist of eight episodes. The first three episodes will debut on Friday, March 26th and the rest of the episodes will air weekly on Amazon Prime Video.
