Invincible, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on March 25, 2021, immediately garnered widespread acclaim for its animation, gripping action sequences, compelling storytelling, remarkable voice acting, emotional depth, and faithfulness to the source material. This acclaim led to an early renewal of the series for a second and third season, demonstrating the immense fan interest.

The second season of Invincible is set to premiere on November 3, 2023, and the NYCC 2023 panel was a thrilling opportunity for fans to get a glimpse of what's in store.

Throughout the panel, Kirkman and Racioppa highlighted the creative freedom of animation and expressed their gratitude for the visual storytelling possibilities it provides.
