Invincible creator Robert Kirkman couldn't be happier with how fans have responded to the series on Amazon Prime, especially with the "Think Mark, Think" meme that has become quite popular.
Speaking at his own Comic-Con@Home panel for the second time, Kirkman took a moment to thank everyone involved with the project and who responded so positively to the series. "This has been the year of Invincible," Kirkman said, shouting out his co-creator Cory Walker and artist Ryan Ottley. "I could not be more floored with the response to this show...it is doing absolute gangbusters."
Kirkman added that the studio "couldn't be happier" with the show's success and drawing in of new audience segments to the Amazon Prime Video platform. The creator also noted that he loves seeing everything that people have posted online with regards to the series, particularly the "Think Mark, Think" meme.
"This thing is just going crazy. I mean, all the stuff on the internet that I'm seeing, the 'Think Mark, Think' meme is super cool." Viewers then catch a glimpse of various iterations of the meme for different franchises, such as Resident Evil, Dragon Ball and Star Wars. Even DC Comics had a nod with the Reverse Flash speaking to Barry Allen's Flash in what looks to be a re-creation of Flashpoint.
Kirkman also said that not only is the show doing well, but sales for the original comics are "going nuts" following its release. He also took a moment to plug the merchandise coming soon for the series, from action figures to t-shirts and more.
While Kirkman said he wouldn't be giving any major announcements about the series to fans during the panel, he did promise that more will come in the near future. "There's all kinds of cool stuff on the horizon that we'll be talking about very soon. I'm not gonna tease anything cause that would be rude." He did say though that "everyone should be very excited" for what's to come.
Invincible stars Steven Yeun as the series' protagonist, joined by the likes of J.K. Simmons, Sandra Oh, Seth Rogen, Mark Hamill and many more talents. Kirkman is an executive producer on the series produced by Skybound, and the entire series is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The series has been greenlit for two more seasons so far in the future.
