Prime Video’s hit series Invincible has already become one of the best superhero stories out there, but it is still not the most conventional superhero story out there. The series has basically bucketloads of violence and graphic imagery and even the story is a bit different than the normal superhero stories like Marvel films. Based on the Image Comics series of the same name, Invincible follows Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), the teenage son of the most powerful superhero in the world Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons). Mark finally gets the power that he waited so long for but nothing is as it seems even his own father.
We finally got a teaser announcing that Invincible Season 2 is coming out in late 2023. So, while you wait for the much-awaited season to come out here are some shows you could watch while waiting.
