Love this show. I never read these comics, did not even know they existed, so I'm going about this backwards, same way I did with Preacher, in that I ordered the compendium volume 1 and have been working my way through it. Great stuff so far but shocking that William is straight and Amber is white. What kind of homophobic racists were these authors? Thank God the tv show corrected this for our benefit.

I liked the finale, it just sucks it will take 2 years or whatever for the next season takes on the comics. The Eve mini story i think should have been handled differently as far as release
I really hope they don't skip the Anissa story which I feel like they are trying to avoid but Mark boosting his power disproves that

Have they got green lit for 7 seasons? At this rate it's going to need that.
Allen mini movie would be fun

I think the Pharaoh is going to be a running joke for the season finale, maybe? Don't read comics so no idea what part he plays there.

He clearly is supposed to be an homage to Mumm-Ra from Thundercats. Even the voice is almost the same.
I'm betting it's a gag.

Edit: No specific plot spoilers, but broad impressions of the comic having read it end-to-end:
My impression of both of Kirkman's major series was that he starts with something fresh and tightly plotted and then just sort of...keeps it going, piling on subversions and moral ambiguities until everything is a "life's complicated" stew with no point of view and no plan for a dramatically satisfying payoff. It makes Invincible and TWD really easy to recommend that someone start reading, but equally hard to recommend that they stick it out and finish.

yeah. I don't think this needs to be spoilered. the walking dead is really bad with just no point, and going on and on and on.
Invincible does it a bit. but is way better at maintaining character arcs, etc.
I linked that littleplatoon vid on the foundations of Dune in the dune 2 movie threat. and its a fascinating discussion. he ALSO posted a clip from the upcoming full vid, in regards to the "hero''s journey" and paul.
which then of course leads into Mark. hero's journey, or mythotype... where does HE stand? where does kirkman? Did he have any plan or was it all just "and then" serial storytelling?
the group, is it multiple hero's journeys? where is robot and eve in this discussion?
how does Invincible, stand up as a work? like dune. so far, they have been going pretty close to 1:1. they have not taken much opportunity to revise it to be a more organized single body of work. which is itself interesting.
this is such a fascinating question. I'd be curious of someone that has the time to do a deep dive on that thinks.

I'm on volume 2 of the comics now and fuck if this doesn't just keep getting better. I don't know how they can keep this up but it keeps getting bigger, crazier, grittier. I thought it was as crazy as it could get and then Conquest shows up, holy fuck that was the best (and most violent) art yet. Shit can literally not keep getting crazier than it is now, that would be unpossible.

I'm ready baby, dragon Ball z vibes at that opening lol. Glad to see Battle beast
Need to rewatch S2, I thought Multi-Kate was killed. Should have a bunch of deaths this season but we will see. Also didn't he go to the blue costume way later in the comics?
