But Invincible knows there are a lot of coming of age stories, and stories set around high schoolers just trying to be normal. It's wholly self-aware of where it stands in the world, telling the coming-of-age story of 17-year-old Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) as he just learns of his place in the world as a superhero, now calling himself Invincible, and his father, the world's greatest hero, Nolan Grayson, also known as Omni-Man.
Invinci ble's first season did a great job setting up multiple threads throughout the course of its eight episodes that allowed the season to not only come to a satisfying ending, but at the same time set up a number of storylines that can-and likely will-be followed in future seasons.Īnd that's part of what makes Invincible so much fun to watch.
And now that the show's dramatic (and also, at times, hilarious) first season has come to a conclusion that leaves its viewers on numerous cliffs, it's fair to start thinking about Season 2. Amazon Prime's superhero series Invincible may be animation, but it comes with as much bloody, edge-of-your-seat action, as many twists, and as utterly star-studded a cast as any live action superhero series or movie out there.
