Invincible Season 3 is Gonna Be Off the Chain!
Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too much longer to see more Invincible, because the next season is coming out in February! So it will have been about a year between seasons, or parts of seasons. Whatever. Who’s keeping track? Just know that we’ve got more show!
Invincible has been a real hoot and a half of a show and I very much look forward to more. I’ve read the comic so I know a lot of what to expect, but that hasn’t lessened the enjoyment of the TV show. It’s still a fun watch! It’s still off the chain! I think they’re doing a great job with the adaptation, and all plans seem to indicate they’re going to go all the way to the end. It will become a wildly different show in the future, but that can be super fun as well! Here’s hoping they can pull it all off.
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on Feb. 6.

Cartoon Trailer Monday!
Last week was a great week for cartoon trailers. And if I was more on my game, I should have posted about these last week. That’s on me. I’m sure everybody’s already seen these trailers, but you haven’t heard my thoughts on them yet!
First up is the big one, X-Men ’97. Everybody’s been talking about this all weekend, and of course I’m excited for this show. I lived off of the original X-Men animated series, so I am here for this!
Looks wonky but manageable. Not sure bringing back the same voice cast was the best idea. Not sure whatever they’re doing with the animation was the best idea. But their heart seems to be in the right place. Seems like they’ve got some solid stories lined up, and that Daily Bugle flapping in the breeze at the start of the trailer showed Maggott and Stacy X, and if those two characters appear for real in this show, then I’m going to automatically consider it a success.
Also, I am 110% behind everything they’re doing with Morph. Making them nonbinary is a great idea. And I love their new blank face/AoA Morph look. The Morph serialized story from the original show was always really impressive to me, and I’m excited to see them as a solid member of the team now.
X-Men ’97 comes to Disney+ on March 20.
Next up is the trailer for the second half of season two of Invincible. Loved everything so far, love the comic series, so bring it on!
Looks great! I recognize some of the storylines and characters from the comics, and then there’s stuff I’ve forgotten about. I’m confident that the people behind Invincible know exactly what they’re doing and they’re going to pull it off splendidly. So everybody just keep up the good work and get it done!
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on March 14.
Lastly, our first look at Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I loved Mutant Mayhem as much as the next person, so I’m on board with those show.
Looks fun. Looks a little cheaply animated, but I can live with that. I don’t actually know if I’ll watch this show. I haven’t watched an ongoing Ninja Turtles cartoon in a very long time. They’re mostly for kids for real. And that’s how it should be! Let kids enjoy the Ninja Turtles. But if it’s as good as the movie, I might try this out.
Tales of the TMNT comes to Paramount+ this summer.

Invincible Season 2 is Gonna Rock
I’ve read the entire Invincible comic book series, and it’s all pretty great. So I have high hopes that the cartoon on Amazon is going to make it all the way through the series. Keep hopes high! I already have faith after they took the opening chapters and turned them into that excellent first season.
A full trailer for season 2 was released at New York Comic-Con this past weekend.
Looks great to me! I recognize some of the new characters, though not all. I recognized some of the moments, though not all. So it should still be something of a surprise for me. Looking forward to this one, for sure!
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on Nov. 3.

Comic-Con Cartoon Trailers Ahoy!
It’s the Sunday of San Diego Comic-Con, so it’s a good day to just dump all the great trailers we saw this weekend. Mostly it was trailers for some of my favorite cartoon shows, which are all coming back for new seasons soon. So rather than parse them out over the next week, let’s pile them on and talk about them!
First up is the trailer for season 4 of Harley Quinn. I love this show and can’t wait for more episodes!
Harley Quinn is a great show and they’ve shown no signs of slowing down as we get into more seasons. It’s maybe not as sharp as the first two seasons, which were made back-to-back, but it’s still hugely entertaining and super fun. This season we’ve been told we’ll get more focus on Poison Ivy, and watching them maintain their relationship while on different sides of the hero/villain conflict should be a hoot.
Harley Quinn season 4 comes to Max on July 27, so next week!
Next up is the first look at season two of Invincible! Love this show as well, can’t wait for new episodes!
I’ve read the entirety of the Invincible comic after buying the three big compendiums, so I’m ready to see this show go all the way. The first season was great stuff, and hopefully season 2 will continue that greatness. There’s a ton of material to work with, a ton of great moments and characters to play around with. Can’t wait to see how they do it!
Invincible season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Nov. 3.
Sticking with cartoons, how about the season 4 trailer for Star Trek: Lower Decks! Between the last season and this one, I’ve watched the entirety of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1, so I’m big into Star Trek these days. I haven’t watched the crossover episode yet.
Lower Decks is a super fun show and I can’t wait to see what they do in season 4, especially with the new Vulcan character, T’Lyn joining the crew. Looks like super fun to me. All of these look like fun. All of these look like more of the same stuff that we know and love, and that’s exactly what I’d like to see with Lower Decks. They’ve been doing a great job so far, and they should nail it with a new season of hijinks and Star Trek coolness.
Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 comes to Paramount+ on Sept. 7.
Alright, three is enough for me. These are my three most excited for shows from the trailers we got. I’ll probably share some of the other trailers later.

Can I Offer You a Full-Sized Invincible Trailer in These Trying Times?
There’s going to be an Invincible cartoon, based on Robert Kirkman’s popular comic book series! We knew that already, but now we’ve got a full-sized trailer! And a premiere date!
Looks great! I’m about a third of the way through reading Invincible, and it’s really good. I splurged on all three mega compendiums last summer and need to start the second one. Invincible is good stuff. It’s really just a big, fun, casually-paced superhero tale with a ton of characters and a ton of world-building. The cartoon is barely going to scratch the surface of the beginning of the story, but hopefully it gets as many seasons as The Walking Dead!
Invincible arrives on Amazon Prime Video on March 26.
