    Invincible (Amazon Prime cartoon series)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bfAVpuko5o]

    First three episodes are on Prime now.

    I'm a bit biased about this series as I love the Robert Kirkman comic series it's based on, all I can say in my opinion it's brilliant so far, it's got a fantastic voice cast and the animation style is straight out of the comics.

    I've just started on the first episode. Got interrupted by a delivery, but will finish episode one off tonight. What I've seen so far I have enjoyed.

    Steven Yeun voices the main character and yeah, great vocal cast on this one.

    I’m enjoying it so far! With the animation being so similar to the comic, it’s more like a motion version of the comic rather than a show. Good call on making it 2D animation.

    Very impressive cast for a cartoon. Hopefully Kirkman can hold onto the wheel with this show longer than TWD.

    I'm caught up on the episodes aired thus far now.

    Yep, enjoying it so far. I'm not mad for it yet, but I do enjoy it, despite not being familiar with the comics.

    Yeppers.

    Eight episodes. Generally didn't feel too filler-y at any point, really, and generally quite enjoyable with a great cast of voices. It managed to cut through my growing malaise with superhero content (I've not found the interest to get started on Jupiter's Legacy yet, and might not bother TBH).

    OK, to my surprise - not usually enjoying cartoons - I'm enjoying this more and more.

    I wonder if a live action version could work?

    It’s already in the works, from Seth Rogan’s team behind Preacher.

    I watched the Atom Eve special that came out a few weeks ago ... it was okay, I guess ... not that I can really remember anything about it, come to think of it...

    I started watching the first episode of season two ... ... but I was completely lost at the start of this episode, and it also made me realise that I just didn't give much of a stuff about continuing with it. Superhero fatigue is more potent now than it was a couple of years ago. I wonder if Invincible has come along too late into the cycle? Or maybe it's just me losing interest in bothering with it? Or a bit of both?
