Popverse Picks: The best Invincible characters (according to me!)

Sorry Mark, but the best Invincible characters are behind you.

Features by Chris Arrant, Editor-in-Chief

Published on Mon Apr 07 2025

For 14 years, the Invincible comic book series billed itself as "the best superhero comic book in the universe" and ... well, it's hard to argue. Now with Amazon's Prime Video animated adaptation Invincible coming to us every year and creators Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley returning for more comics this summer, it's high time - overdue even - for me to decide who are my favorite characters in the hundreds they have made.

Maybe you should too... and tell us in the comments.

In this week's Popverse Picks, I revisit the original Invincible series which I bought from #1 to the end, and explore it in the context of Prime Video's Invincible animated series and the upcoming return of the Invincible comics universe to figure out once and for all who my favorite characters are.

I apologize
