Amazon Studios is no stranger to pushing the boundaries with superhero shows, having already found success with critically acclaimed adaptations of The Boys and The Tick , two shows that offering unconventional spins on comic-book heroes and villains. The studio’s next foray into that genre is the animated series Invincible , based on the comic of the same name by The Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman and illustrator Cory Walker, and it’s another saga that defies traditional superhero fare.
