This is iFanboy Special Edition Invincible Season 1

Hello, welcome to my fanboy Special Edition Invincible Season 1. My name is Connor Kelpatrick and I'm here with part of the animation brain trust Paul Montgomery.

Hello, hi everyone. Dr. Ryan Haupt was unavailable. He's in surgery, but we brought on adjunct member of the brain trust Josh Flanagan.

Now I haven't done any of these. Was I supposed to repair in any way? Because I have to tell you right from the top. No.

Okay. Good. Okay. That secret is that we never actually watch these things. Sure. We're going off with competing entries.

That's how we do it. There's too many movies. Paul and I have been doing Wikipedia entry reviews for years.

For about a decade. Yeah. In fact, some of us said Jimmy Wales himself has credited us to really bring them to the forefront in a way that they hadn't been prior to us not doing work and using them to cheat at the stuff we were supposed to do.

I believe. Why don't you move on with your show before I ruin it? So we are here to talk about invincible season one currently on prime.

So it'll be spoilers. And this is the adaptation of the Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, Cory Walker, comic, invincible.

Which is this property that Kirkman's been trying to get ended for years. There was the 2008 motion comic series. Remember that?

Right. We interviewed about that. Remember it was on the Wikipedia page.

We interviewed about that. At Comic-Con, you know, however many years ago that was.

And I know just from friends that he's been trying to get this, he's been trying to get this animated for years. He's obviously the men walking dead and the empire therein.

And this is as other epic. And we were talking before the show started about how this is one of those books that not, yeah, obviously not now that it's over.

But sort of defined, I fanboy. It was one of our early books in the podcast that we would always recommend.

People always say, what's your book should I read? And it was always invincible, invincible, invincible.

And it was just a little, because it was a little off center. It was kind of a new thing. It came out in 2003.

You know, it was, it was a little, it wasn't mainstream comics. So it actually required a little word of mouth. It made up for that later on.

But it was a little, a bit of a hidden gem at the beginning, because I don't know if you will remember, you know, Robert Kirkman was not a household name, which is how we got our show a lot early on.

And also, it never reached the heights of the walking dead, you know, which is a book that defied every convention and as an indie comic that grew in an audience every issue.

But the invincible stayed like a steady in terms of sales, you know, book for the 15 years that ran for 15 years. It's incredible.

Not only that, I think, you know, one of the things about all these people who make stuff that then gets made into another property is that the comic book falls to the wayside so often.
