Invincible season 3 has been highly praised in the majority of reviews currently circulating. At the time of writing, the new season has an impressive 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

We also loved the new season and highly recommend it to long-time fans of the series. In our Invincible season 3 review, we gave the show an almost perfect score, calling it: "bigger, better, faster, stronger" than season 2.

Invincible season 3 story – and which comic issues will it cover?

Invincible season 3 is going to be big. Don't take our word for it, creator Robert Kirkman has been incredibly vocal about the new season's step up in stakes for quite some time now.

But we'll get to that in just a moment. First, what can we expect from Invincible season 3's continued story moving forward after the events of the previous season?

With Mark Grayson's nemesis, Angstrom Levy, soundly defeated, and Mark becoming more and more aggressive and isolated, we suspect the season will continue to be far darker in tone than the previous two. Invincible season 3 may also cover the end of the comics' Invincible War arc, through to issue 65.

Season 3 should really start centering on the will they/won't they with Mark and Gillian Jacobs' Atom Eve, as well. Of course, Allen the Alien and Nolan's (possibly temporary) alliance could also bear fruit later this season. Nolan has already mentioned he misses his wife, Debbie – so a return to Earth for the Viltriumite is certainly on the cards.

If that happens, expect a Viltrumite response – and possibly the introduction of the series' Big Bad, Thragg. On top of that, the multiverse and Mark's half-brother Oliver are both now wildcards in play. What that means is unclear, though expect more – potentially evil – versions of Mark to crop up, with them each holding up a mirror to 'our' Mark.

With the rate Oliver is growing, comic fans will know all too well that Kid Omni-Man may soon be in our midst…

Mark Grayson also dons a new blue suit this season and, from Kirkman's initial quotes around the new change, it's a similar volte-face to Spider-Man's black symbiote suit in terms of tone.

"He's in a different headspace and that gets reflected in his costume," Kirkman told Variety. "Anyone who has read the series knows the blue suit era is the darkest and the most intense, and there's a lot of really big things that are around the blue suit."

"The stakes of the season are really high, and the content of the season is really dense," Kirkman told 12DOVE and other press at San Diego Comic-Con. "So we've set up a lot of stories in season 1 and season 2 that are kind of coming to a head in season three. And so, in a lot of ways, every episode does kind of feel like a finale."

Kirkman added, "There's something big about every episode, there's a massive conclusion in every episode, there's some kind of huge evolution of a character or story turn that happens in every episode. I'm really excited to finally get to see season 3 because it's gonna be crazy."

Invincible season 3 trailer

The first (and so far only) Invincible season 3 teaser trailer is an original animation featuring Mark Grayson and Cecil sharing a terse conversation at a Burger Mart.

"What exactly have you been doing to prepare?" Cecil tells Mark in reference to a moment in Invincible season 2 that saw the hero – to put it bluntly – get his ass kicked by Viltrumite Anissa (Shantel VanSanten).

While it's light on other story teases, Cecil does make a wry joke about the show's mid-season break in season 2. Mark replies by saying he's been busy writing, designing, storyboarding, and voice acting. The headline: the Invincible staff have been hard at work.

The trailer ends with Cecil making his own list – of Mark's new training regime.

The Invincible season 3 cast includes most of the major players from the first two seasons. That includes Invincible himself, Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun). Additionally, the following returns: Atom Eve (Gillian Jacobs), Debbie (Sandra Oh), Nolan/Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons), Cecil (Walton Goggins), and Amber (Zazie Beetz).

Other members of the Guardians of the Globe – including Ross Marquand's The Immortal – should also factor into the new season, as will Anissa (Shantel VanSanten) and Shapesmith (Ben Schwartz).

In January 2025, Invincible also confirmed a whole bunch of new actors and characters too. Prime Video announced that Aaron Paul will play Powerplex, Simu Liu will be Multi-Paul, Kate Mara will be Becky Duvall, Xolo Mariduena will be super-twins Fightmaster and Dropkick, John DiMaggio will play The Elephant, Tzi Ma will be Mr. Liu, and Christian Convery is Oliver Grayson.

Jonathan Banks and Doug Bradley also joined the cast, but their characters have not yet been revealed.
