Amazon’s getting stronger.
Amazon has picked up an eight-episode, hour-long adult animated series adaptation of the Image Comics series Invincible produced by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley.
In Invincible, Mark Grayson, a normal teenager except for the fact that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet. Shortly after his seventeenth birthday, Mark begins to develop powers of his own and enters into his father’s tutelage. The series is described as suspenseful, action-filled, and emotion-packed, yet builds upon poignant and heartwarming moments of love, friendship, and humanity.
The series is set to be made available on Amazon Video. Invincible is produced by Skybound, with Simon Racioppa (Teen Titans) serving as showrunner. The series is executive produced by Racioppa, Skybound’s Kirkman and David Alpert (The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead), Catherine Winder (The Angry Birds Movie, Star Wars: The Clone Wars) with Supervising Directors Justin & Chris Copeland (Avengers Assemble, Ultimate Spider-Man).
Revenge of the Fans has a rumored cast list.
