The first impressions of the upcoming INVINCIBLE animated series are in, and most agree that it remains faithful to the source material. Following the reveal of the voice actors involved in the project, the character designs for the main cast have been released.
The new animated series is based on the comic co-created by Kirkman and Cory Walker, who is also serving as Lead Character Designer, will debut at a later date on Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service. The rest of the production includes Simon Racioppa (Teen Titans) as showrunner, with Justin and Chris Copeland (Ultimate Spider-Man) serving as supervising directors. Kirkman, Racioppa, David Alpert (The Walking Dead), and Catherine Winder (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) are executive producing.
On the IGN.com website, the designs for the main characters were revealed. The preview image confirms that the series will be sticking very closely to the look established by Walker and artist Ryan Ottley created on the comic series.
The article also clarified Robert Kirkman’s role on the series. In addition to serving as executive producer, Kirkman wrote both the pilot and the season finale.
