Mark Grayson can’t sleep—and when you’re Invincible, insomnia hits a little differently. Instead of late-night infomercials, Mark takes to the skies… and immediately stumbles onto trouble.

A robbery is underway at Toys R Toys, but this isn’t your average smash-and-grab. Why would the brutal villain Ogre want an entire shipment of Game Boxes? And why does the world’s premier teenage superhero team, Teen Team, suddenly show up to help Invincible take him down?

Between unexpected team-ups, mysterious motives, and a surprising crush from 3rd-period science class, nothing is quite what it seems in Invincible #2. It’s chaotic, funny, and wildly entertaining from start to finish.

Sit back and enjoy as we break down one of the most fun and unpredictable early issues in Invincible’s journey!

When Mark Grayson finally inherits superpowers at seventeen, it feels like a dream come true. Flying, super strength, and the chance to be a real superhero—what could go wrong? But Mark quickly learns that heroism isn’t as simple or as black-and-white as the comic books he grew up reading.

In INVINCIBLE #1, visionary creator Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) teams up with acclaimed artists Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley to deliver a superhero origin that starts familiar… and then pulls the rug out from under you. This issue lays the groundwork for a long-running, brutally honest take on what it truly means to be a hero.

In this video, I break down the story, characters, and first impressions of Invincible #1, and talk about why this debut issue became such a game-changer in modern comics.

Let me know your thoughts on Invincible #1 in the comments! Is this one of the best superhero origins ever?

Welcome to The Autism Scene: Exploring Comics & Animation Through a Neurodiverse Lens 🎨🧠

In this video, we dive into the vibrant world of comics and animation from the perspective of the autistic community, with Britton Payne from The Autism Scene. and his creative writing competition Auspec Awards. How do autistic creators and fans connect with visual storytelling? What makes these art forms so powerful for self-expression, identity, and communication?

Britton Payne is an entertainment attorney, recently of Warner Bros. Animation and Nickelodeon. On the side, Brit regularly presents at comic cons and elsewhere about autism and pop culture, including “Authentically Creating Autistic Characters,” “Autism in Comic Books,” and “After 50 Years, Why do Spidey Super Stories Comics Still Matter to Autistic Kids and Everybody Else?.” This year, Brit started The Autism Scene, a nonprofit advocating for the inclusion of explicitly autistic characters in kids pop culture. This winter, The Autism Scene is running the AuSPEC AWARDS, a kids animated series spec script competition, which requires a series regular meaningfully interacting with an explicitly autistic character. Brit and his wife Alice are active community members of The Frostig School in Pasadena, which is dedicated to helping children, teens and young adults with learning differences live and learn to their full potential.
