As the second season of Invincible heads towards its finale, fans can rest assured that more adventures are on the horizon. Showrunners have confirmed that a third season is already in the works, setting the stage for another round of Mark Grayson’s animated escapades.
The latest episodes of the second season have kept viewers on the edge of their seats, culminating in a cliffhanger ending in episode seven. With the impending season finale, anticipation is high for what promises to be a thrilling conclusion.
One of the highlights of the recent episodes was a hilarious recreation of a classic moment from the Invincible comic series. Originally appearing in the tenth issue, the joke poked fun at the comic book industry’s art shortcuts. However, the animated adaptation put a fresh twist on the gag, taking aim at the animation industry instead.

In a scene featuring Steven Yeun’s Mark Grayson and Tim Robinson voicing the creator of Seance Dog, the show cleverly lampooned the behind-the-scenes quirks of animation production. Fans of the series were treated to a side-by-side comparison when the official Invincible social media account shared the original comic book joke.
While the animated series is still early in Mark’s superhero journey compared to the comics, readers seeking new adventures may find themselves out of luck.
The original Invincible series concluded years ago at Image Comics, providing a definitive ending to Mark’s story. However, animation enthusiasts can look forward to several more seasons before Mark’s superhero career reaches its conclusion.
Despite the impending end of season two, the wait for season three won’t be as long as fans might fear. Showrunners have assured viewers that the next installment will arrive in a timely fashion.
For those familiar with the comic books, the trajectory of Mark’s journey may offer some hints, but without delving into spoiler territory, J.K. Simmons, who voices Nolan Grayson, has hinted at more Omni-Man to come in future seasons.
