New York Comic Con 2023 – Robert Kirkman and Simon Racioppa talk about Invincible Season 2

At this year’s New York Comic Con (2023), I had the chance to sit down and talk with Robert Kirkman and Simon Racioppa. Robert Kirkman is a bona fide comic book superstar who created Invincible (as well as The Walking Dead) and wrote the comic and much of the animated series, while Simon Racioppa is a producer on the show.

Based on the groundbreaking comic book by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, the story revolves around 18-year-old Mark Grayson, who’s just like every other guy his age – except his father is (or was) the most powerful superhero on the planet. Still reeling from Nolan’s betrayal in Season One, Mark struggles to rebuild his life as he faces a host of new threats, all while battling his greatest fear – that he might become his father without even knowing it.

We discussed the upcoming Invincible: Season 2, debuting on Amazon prime in November!

The first half of its eight-episode season will premiere on November 3, with new episodes airing weekly. Following a mid-season hiatus, the second half of Season Two will premiere in early 2024. The first season received a “Certified Fresh” ranking on Rotten Tomatoes. Invincible will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.
