Then things take a really dark turn, and this super-kid's life becomes more unforgiving than high school bullies (which he also deals with). It looks like the standard origin story at first: Boy discovers powers, boy learns from his super-dad, boy takes on the world with those powers. Steven Yeun ( The Walking Dead) voices lead Mark Grayson, the teen son of the most powerful superhero on earth, the Superman-esque Omni-Man ( J.K. Kirkman and artist Cory Walker published the original comic book series in 2002 with publisher Skybound, and Kirkman says the show is a near-faithful adaptation of that story arc. "It is grounded, but in principle, more than The Boys, it celebrates what makes superheroes special, in my opinion." "It's about a son and his father and mother in this superhero world and all the complications that come from that," Kirkman tells EW. Unlike The Boys, which Invincible comic co-creator and series executive producer Robert Kirkman says is more about the fun of "tearing down superheroes," the charm of his eight-episode animated show "is that it's very much a family drama." The Boys won't be back in town on Amazon Prime Video for a while, but if you're looking for that vibe of superheroes-gone-bad, the streamer has more bloody punches to throw among comic-book titans with Invincible.
