Unmasking the Dark Side of Superheroes: Invincible Season 3 Review
The 2010s saw a shift in superhero narratives, questioning the inherent "goodness" often associated with these iconic figures. While shows like The Boys explored this theme through gritty realism, Invincible on Prime Video offers a unique animated perspective, staying true to its comic book origins while delving into the morally complex lives of superheroes. The result is a visually striking and brutally honest portrayal of superhero existence, featuring compelling characters, intricate powers, and exceptional writing within the adult animation genre.
Following a shorter-than-usual hiatus, Season 3 arrives just a year after Season 2's release. Curious about where to watch it? Read on!

What is Invincible About?
Season 3 continues where Season 2 left off, following Mark Grayson's journey as he grapples with his superhero identity, navigating complex relationships and the intricate power dynamics within the world of heroes, villains, and those who blur the lines between the two. For newcomers, the show's premise, based on Robert Kirkman's comics, is as follows:
"Seventeen-year-old Mark Grayson is like any other teenager, except his father is Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero on the planet. As Mark develops his own powers, he uncovers a shocking truth about his father's legacy."
Invincible Season 4: When Can We Expect It?
