Really hope they make an animated series or tv show

[@Skybound]

we would love to do that! Hopefully soon! Also live action stuff. Can't help but want to do the live action stuff! lol

[@epic-a]

Skybound I remember seeing an Invincible fan film on MysteryGuitarMan's Channel. That starred Mike Cruz!

Oh man, you remember that? lol :P

[@JR-ju3kj]

Never let an idea go to waste!

[@TheChuckers123]

The best thing Invincible ever did was to know when to end its story. And it did so perfectly.

[@JR-ju3kj]

I think that that's crucially important in a comic-knowing when to bring the story to a close(or if it should be brought to one). Because in comics,stories oftentimes can and DO,go on forever.

Skybound actually, The Walking Dead won't be 15 until October 2018. Check your facts, Skybound!!! ( *SCOFFS* ) 😡😡😠

[@ryleynelson5335]

It will be hard to top the best fight "Invincible vs conquest" in the final arc but hopefully they can do something even more epic then that one.

[@Langkowski]

One of my problems with the old Superman movies, the X-Men movies and the first Hulk and Spider-Man and so on, is that they live in a world where they are pretty much the only superhumans (sure, I hate the X-Men movies for other reasons as well, but this is a very common problem in the adaptations from comics to live action). They are superhumans living in an otherwise mundane world, which makes it feel as if something is missing. And something is missing.

[@thecookj454]

best comic I've ever read.

[@AlTheStal87]

loving the content on this channel, more comics publishers need to step up their KZbin game.

[@dragonman5330]

Just started reading invincible weeks ago, greatest comic ever. Far better than superman and I freaking love superman. I like the fact that he's ending the book instead of milking it, good choice, i hate comics that just keep going and going, like theres no end to it. Superman should've ended at the golden age or silver age than focus on his supes kid, his adventures and his journey of self discovery and many more, that'll would continue supes legacy to the new generation if dc-comics wanted to continue writing superman (superboy comics) but nope let's reboot shit to make it fresh and new says dc.

[@xchargerOUx]

Well much as you want to hate on DC for making Superman continue, DC has made this concept(invincible) into Rebirth and most cases made it better. Superman has a son, his son has his own comic line, and Superman is back to his old golden age self. So saying things like "Far better than superman" is asinine even if you're a superman fan.

When I first read the comic, it was getting good on the first 10 issues, but after the whole Omni Man suddenly "changing his ways", the rape sub plot, and the rushed storyline that leaves many plot holes. I just lost interest. I can tell that Kirkman didn't liked his own work, anymore. That's why he wanted to wrap it up because he lost interest.

[@attrennux0000]

That not why he ended the story though, it was because he didn't want to carry it out and drag it out like marvel and dc do and he thought if he did it would mess up the story.
