Invincible Season 2 News (& Reverse Psychology?) Set for SDCC 2023
Amazon's Steven Yeun & J.K. Simmons-starring animated series Invincible will have some Season 2 news to drop at SDCC 2023 - and more?
In case you didn't catch it in our rundown of what's on tap for San Diego Comic-Con 2023 (SDCC 2023) for Friday, July 21st, Amazon's Steven Yeun & J.K. Simmons-starring animated adaptation of Invincible is set to have a huge presence at this year's pop culture extravaganza. With the second season hitting screens later this year, we not only have a panel on tap for the day but also something titled, "This is Not an 'Invincible' Season 2 Special Screening" (hmmm… reverse psychology?). Here's a look at the overviews that were released with more details – but a quick note first. Basically, who ends up appearing for this and pretty much most of the other panels will depend heavily on the status of the current writers' strike and the threat of a SAG-AFTRA strike, so make sure to stay updated between now and then.

Invincible: The Road to Season 2 (What We Know So Far)
Here's a look back at Kirkman, Walker, and Ottley reacting to the teaser for Season 2 that was released in January, followed by a look back at what we learned about the second season:
Here's that Season 2 script page teasing a very bloody (and not surprising) throwdown between Mark and Ross Marquand's The Immortal, accompanied by the appropriate Jason Mantzoukas (Rex Sloan/Rex Splode) screencap reaction shot:
And here's a look back at the preview video that was released confirming the season's release window, with Seth Rogen's Allen The Alien finally getting the information out of Mark after some stalling (clearly, someone's been reading social media over the past few months):
