Robert Kirkman on Invincible and the Future of The Walking Dead Franchise
With the awesome new animated series Invincible now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, I recently spoke with Robert Kirkman about adapting his comic of the same name that he co-created with Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley. The hour-long, adult animated superhero series is eight episodes and revolves around seventeen-year-old Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), who’s just like every other guy his age — except that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons).
I was able to watch the first three episodes before doing this interview and they’re great. Saying that, if the sight of animated blood and death makes you uncomfortable, you probably want to steer clear of this series. Invincible’s voice cast includes Zazie Beetz, Sandra Oh, Seth Rogen, Gillian Jacobs, Andrew Rannells, Zazie Beetz, Mark Hamill, Walton Goggins, Jason Mantzoukas, Zachary Quinto, Mahershala Ali, and more.
During the wide-ranging interview, Kirkman talked about wanting Invincible to feel like a cable drama, why it’s eight episodes, how he has a multi-season plan, how they decided on the look and animation style for the series, Easter eggs, Amazon’s reaction to the blood and violence, how quickly they can make Season 2 if Amazon wants it, and more. In addition, we talked about his collection of Optimus Prime figures, the future of The Walking Dead franchise (including Tales of the Walking Dead and the Daryl and Carol spinoff series starring Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride), and if they have ever talked about doing a Walking Dead series in another language and country.
