Animated Comic Book Drama 'Invincible' from Robert Kirkman coming to Amazon
- Thread starter Penguin
- Start date
Very cool, Invincible is my favorite Robert Kirkman comic series.
Not surprised it's animated, it would need a huge budget to do properly in live action.

I really like Invincible overall. It meandered a bit toward the end, but it could make for a good Superman x DBZ show.
And yes, it lends itself much more to an animated format.

Good choice going animated hoping they use Titmouse Animation that team does awesome work: Venture Brothers, Black Dynamite etc.
An hourlong animated drama is quite novel. I hope it's a success because I'd like to see more of that sort of thing.
I'm excited about East of West too. If done right then this could easily be the next "it" show.
I really hope this is good, I fell way off but I was a big fan of Invincible around when it started.
Finally! I think the only way to do this justice is in animated form. The strengths of the story would get lost in segmented movies and the budget would be too big for a live action tv show.
Yeah no way they could do a live action budget.
Good thing about Invincible is you only need to do the first trade then put the series on repeat. Cause you know ever major arc ends with Mark getting fucked up then coming back more powerful than ever.

Damn I can't wait.
I am so so pumped that we are getting an animated show. I'm definitely still excited to see what Seth Rogan & Evan Goldberg do with the movie version but an animated show is perfect for Invincible in my opinion.
I mean honestly the series is worth it just to see him meet up back with his dad and find out he's been smashing Mantis ass for the last while.
And Rex Plode who started as a gambit parody becoming something
stoked to hear this. I loved invincible. I need to go back and figure out where I stopped reading the series and finish it up.
why
Yeah but they cut back heavy on their original content
I didn't really keep up but I think it ended not too terribly long after that.
Edit: Actual answers above.
They're making a movie also. Which as far as I know isn't animated.
Yep, just this year actually.
God that feels depressingly accurate. Actually I appreciate Mark bucking the trend of most superheroes and not being a completely terrible boyfriend.
Just boring. Kirkman can start with a bang, but has a hard time keeping shit interesting for the main character. His side characters get so interesting you be mad it doesn't focus on them
It was slow but I wouldn't call it boring and it certainly wasn't the mess that Bleach became.
I want a Luther Strode animated series but with an ending that isn't anti-climatic as fuck.
Sometimes i wonder if the Bleach guy got paid by the white space on the page
I'm happy. At first I was worried it would be one of those animated graphic novels, which was never a fan of. Invincible always had a more "capes & tights" comic book style anyways so an animated show sounds perfect.
And yeah, no way this could be live action without a huge budget or looking cheesy as hell.
