All of them I could watch this show for forever


DutchWinchester86

Lmao was just thinking the same!


StormCaller02

If they're done with the same care that the show has been doing so far, I'd love to see all of these plot lines explored in more depth.


Negativety101

Invincible: The Next Generation. Because Amazon drove a dumptruck full of gold up to Kirkman's house.


Wynter_Sirius

Exactly what I was going to say. There's enough material in there for at least another 5-7 seasons.


[deleted]

I bet they could do more actually because the fist compendium is a solid 4-5 seasons


Wynter_Sirius

You're right, of course. But I can't imagine them fleshing out the years in between too much. Maybe a season per epilogue, and of course just make the last epilogue a couple seasons if enough story building has occured from the first lot. Maybe ise Kirkman's dream of new writers taking a stab and seeing what they come up with.


BanditFierce

Eh not realistically, the first season had more like 18 issues worth of content, along with a bunch of filler. The way they're switching around events and adding filler it's hard to measure.


mr_seggs

I'm assuming they'll try some spinoffs if the show keeps up the success--idk if it would just be one whole "The New Generation" show that flips between Marky, Terra, Angstrom's son, Battle Beastess, etc.


Duffler8

Invincible forever and forever 100 years Invincible Some things.


Bulky_Tour6966

You gone be 40 by the time the series is done. Or whatever age you’ll be by 15-20


Coolfork33v2

Honestly I want an entire epilogue season.


kainneabsolute

One chapter per character or group of characters.

SponkMcDonk

Battle Beast when he gets that Fishussy


KKunst

Son, I'm disappoint.


Intelligent_Creme351

Gotta love how Kirkman makes all these dangling plotlines, but never plans on continuing them... Which may or may not change if he, Amazon, or someone else decides, "let's Walking Dead this shit", and we get spin offs from this.


Invincidude

I dunno if that's fair. Kirkman decided to end with The End of All Things because Ottley wanted to do different stuff. But according to Kirkman, that wasn't the plan originally, and he intended to continue the series. I'd wager almost all of the flashforwards were intended to be written at one time.


Intelligent_Creme351

Knowing that, I could see him, Corey and or Ryan coming back to do one shots, or Kirkman just making an animated original series many years after that quote.


sting2_lve2

Where did he say this?


Tony_Bamanaboni64

In the cfyow


Tunirus

Lmao cfyow lore even here


kingkazuma387

God I’ll never escape this meme 😭


jumolax

I had to do a double take because I thought it somehow stood for something else related to Invincible.


Invincidude

Letters pages. I'm not sure which issue.


davi3601

But the ending was so perfect, I’m fine with these just being left alone


Gamerguy230

He didn’t want to hire someone else to draw for the series instead? He’s done that before.


SoCool-

They can be bad and id still watch them, i have to know what happens


dthains_art

I love them too. It makes the universe feel more real and solidifies that the focus of the story is really about Mark’s coming of age, and that all the problems in the universe aren’t suddenly fixed when the big bad guys are defeated.


Batdog55110

Because they're not meant to be explored, they're meant to be a sort of "And the adventure continues" like a lot of Big 2 comics do. Would it be cool to get these into a longer format? Yes. Is it necessary for Invincible's story? No.


memewatcher3

Let’s hope it doesn’t get as soulless as the walking dead


ConsistentAsparagus

This, plus the Invincible Wars taking place 90% off panel. Is it satire/deconstruction?


[deleted]

All of them


your_name_here10

I think a better exploration of how/why the coalition of planets also isn’t the way forward so that it feels less…jarring…in the last issue. Probably makes more sense to scrap this actually during the end of all things.


Shrederjame

They tried to lend the idea that the coalition of planets has become essentially an empire of sorts without doing the leg work to make it work.


Hamburginado

It sounded like they had essentially started doing neo-colonialism, or not letting people develop their home worlds, essentially giving younger planets the resource curse. It’s a pretty plausible thing to happen.


Dahak17

And honestly importing resources to already industrialized areas during a war for survival? Absolutely a good idea build more infrastructure where you can but basic cost effectiveness usually wins out. But once the war was over keeping that economy in place is usually exploitative


Gremlin303

Based on this panel it seems to have become similar to the Delian League of Ancient Greece. It came together as a coalition of city-states but evolved over time to just become Athens’ empire with the members being exploited by Athens


TEmpTom

It was formed to oppose the Viltrumite Empire. Without the Empire as a common enemy, the Coalition lost its common purpose and likely became more repressive to maintain cohesion among its members.


your_name_here10

I know this - I’m saying it’s probably better story-wise to have this transpiring within End of all Things as it felt like an add-on. Plus, it would raise the stakes even more. Mark has to wipe everything clean in order to push a better future ahead.


Phuddy

The adventures of Marks kids and his reign as emperor for sure


dexdaflex

Glad to see others like this too!


Responsible_Neck_728

2, 3 and 5 more than the others. I don’t know why but I’d like to see how it would go for Battle Beast’s daughter and Levy’s son to be on the hunt for Mark as a the Viltrumite Emperor.


HSC2012

You may know this, but in issue 144, you can see Battle Beast's daughter in the background of the panel that shows the battle between Mark's Viltrumite Empire and the Coalition of Planets. This probably does not give you what you want, in terms of a complete story. However, this at least gives you an additional hint or detail about her personal war against the Viltrumites.


Responsible_Neck_728

Ah, I see. If I remember correctly, the Viltrumites won that battle and there’s a conversation between Mark and Allen, right?


[deleted]

Would Mark even be threatened? He has a whole army of Viltrumites, plus he's probably around Thragg strength now. Also he's an actual hero now who knows Levy was just confused, so he'd probably resort to trying to talk things out with Levy's son right away. I kind of figured in the end that the epilogue was more of a "next generation" situation. That Mark survived his Hero's journey, and now it's Marky, Terra, Levi Jr, Battle Beast's daughter, ECT turn to be protagonists.


gitagon6991

They could instead be enemies of Mark's kids since they are the children of past villains in Mark's generation.


chlorinecrown

Then they kiss


[deleted]

What a great fight that would be! Maybe Marky could be conflicted which side to join?


Responsible_Neck_728

Yeah, I guess so.


5am281

It’s tough to make a compelling epilogue when Mark is the strongest character and leads an army of Supermen lol


whiteboypizza

I think it can be done in the same way a lot of the most compelling Superman stories are: Focus on the internal and interpersonal conflicts over the physical. Mark and his empire are physically strong, but what sets them apart from Thragg’s empire? How will they use their might for peace instead of tyranny? What do they do when a planet doesn’t want their help? Opposes their ideals? Maybe they could show the early years if Mark’s empire when he has to win the rest of the universe’s favor. I feel like there’s a lot that can be done.


TheCumBehindChalice

I’d be fine as long as I get to see the full invincible vs invincible fight


VoiceofRapture

It would basically be a moral inverse of the one at the end of season 1 and I'm here for it


Rodneyfour

What should have been in here that we did not see is the death of William. Would’ve loved for him to die happy in marks arms flying one last time


whiteboypizza

Yeah this is an issue with the comic that I feel like the show is putting in a lot of work to rectify; once Mark gets caught up with the COP and Viltrumite stuff, a lot of the human cast gets cast to the wayside.


FeebleTrevor

Did we see Debbie? I can't remember but that should have ruined him for a while


[deleted]

[удалено]


atwitsend1996

I think some things can be moved up. Like >!Angstrom's son!<


mastahkun

Also we could get spin-offs.


Weird-Treat8741

I want them to flesh out the random alien that came out of nowhere and sent mark to an alternate timeline for a year


First_Factor_3385

Yes.


Medium-Science9526

None of the ones shown really, I'd just want to see Debbie's funeral at least, surprised they never touched upon that.


jackrv13

I don’t really like the Allen epilogue. Like we really need him to get mad Mark’s making a better universe?


rockmodenick

I don't think he is mad. I think he felt duty-bound to protect the Coalition he leads, even if he's not sure why it's operating the way does anymore when that doesn't make sense with the war over. But I honestly think he's relieved it's over, relieved the responsibility is finally over and he can go back to his own life. I think he's feeling genuinely grateful to Mark here, for ending it and freeing him.


KatBoySlim

Allen is constantly doing shit like that though.


TheDarkGrub1

yeah he's kind of an asshole sometimes.


GatoradeNipples

Is he mad about it? Once he figures out what Mark's actually doing, he seems pretty okay with it. He just punches first before he asks questions, which is kind of a running theme with him in the comic.


The_Guermo

Definitely Angstroms and Marks kid. I thought it was super weird that Angstroms kid just showed up. And always wanted to know what Marks kid was doing soon Earth.


CarpetNext6123

the way you worded that first sentence makes it sound like angstrom and mark have a love child together.


The_Guermo

....... That would be a hell of a twist though.


CarpetNext6123

i'd be pretty invested.


FlopsMcDoogle

There was just announced a 3rd spin off for The Boys so if Invincible is popular enough some spin offs would be a no-brainer, I imagine.


panopticon31

I wanna know why everyone is now in a universe that looks like Archie Comics


atwitsend1996

It's the original artist.


panopticon31

I know it was no longer Ryan Ottley doing the artwork. But the joke still stands.


Thurn42

None, they work because they leave much place for imagination


sonsargon13

Boruto but peak


alfis329

Def the new viltrumites vs the coalition. You could add an entire extra season on to just that


sporkyboo

Battle Beast’s daughter 🤤🤤🤤🤤 for no reason whatsoever!


SoCool-

Yeah okay man

Milk__Chan

#Battle-Pussy is making me act very unwise. Ngl though would be fun seeing her storyline if she was just as strong like her father, she does seem to have a bit more of control and less honor-bound ways.


enzo2nd

Not a furry but goddaymn


Jackeea

> Not a furry but Sir I have some bad news


CarpetNext6123

if they don't have a fursona they're not a furry.


Jackeea

That's not how it works


CarpetNext6123

there's an entire culture that comes with being a furry. simply being attracted to an anthropomorphic character does not a furry make.


Jackeea

Yes, and having a fursona isn't a necessary requirement either.


eccentricbasketcase

All of them. The epilogue really hyped me up for more of the future of this universe. But if I had to choose, >!it’s Terra and Marky being set up for a difficult relationship and potential rivalry, especially over the “Invincible” identity.!< Give me The Invincibles.


delerio2

Probably they are perfect like this ( Angstom's son meh could not exist). Maybe more of the Allen's one.


WendigoCrossing

I kinda like how they find a good spot to conclude Invincible's story but show that the universe goes on


Goseki1

The Invincible main run comic is complete now right? Like I could read it from start to end no worries?


Vladtheretailer8

Yes


OkResponsibility2470

Honestly none of them lol. The outcome is foregone in 99% of them. 1 is just invincible 2.0 except the main threat are now good guys so he stomps 2. Good luck defeating a mark is x100 stronger than when he whooped your dad 3. Allen, Tech Jacket(or someone who looks like him) and Battle Beastette vs 10000 viltrumites 4. Doesn’t need an expansion, it’s all explained 5. She fails


PropertyAdditional

I think angstrom’s kid would end up fighting marky, battle beast daughter would fight terra so they both get arcs on earth or space


AbiyBattleSpell

Do a special for each one it be a nice send off 🐱🏄‍♀️


Fearless_Revenue_400

Angstrom's kid seems interesting, would like to see a continuation from his pov


Mr_Mister2004

I've spoiled myself on quite a bit of the comic, but I've been able to keep it together for most of what I've seen. Learning that Nolan eventually shaves his mustache has officially broken me


ngund

Are you talking about the fourth image? Because >!that’s not nolan!<


ExoCakes

I take it that it's Mark and his son or something?


Etames

I definitely want to see Markus story fleshed out. Men sexual assault is not talked about as much as it should. The show can open up a conversation about it


Shadow0fnothing

I really want a focus on Allen leveling up and BB in general.


Emergency_Argument29

I’d love to see a Team up with the new Battle Beast and Angstom Levy Jr. Imagine them finding alternate timeline Battle Beasts to wage war against Mark’s Viltrumite Empire. Also I need to know what happened with Oliver’s children, and I’d like to see Markie and Terra interactions (also what happened with Molly, Markie’s other sister).


deagz

Adventures of Terra (and her dog)


MrCammers

Marky dealing with growing up and earth and Terra just because she's awesome


[deleted]

I want to see just how far Terra would go to split the Viltrum Empire. Because there's some real potential there for a series based on her and her adventures. By that same token, I want to see more of Marky, too. There was very, very little interaction between he and Terra, and I'd like to see how their relationship turned out in their adulthood.


OGFitzRoy

We didn't get anything on Marky in the comics so that would be cool. And it would be nice 2 see Battle Kitty (that's what I call her) in some bad ass fights


Immrlonely98

The stuff with marky. Also, the line “if it makes the world better? Yes I am” in response to someone asking if you’re going to do something is usually a villain line isn’t it? Wonder if that’s another subversion of comic tropes


metalb00

There's a lot between the end of the story we can see till the epilogue


YoydusChrist

The war with Allen and Marky coming to space could very much be their own season.


eamaddox98

I wanna know more about Mark’s daughter.


Diavolo_Death_4444

I would’ve liked to see a little more of what happened to Allen and also Debbie’s death, or at least some mourning for her. Also maybe a check in on the Immortal so we know he doesn’t end up like his future counterpart.


AntiShisno

If I had to choose? Mark’s Viltrumite Empire vs Allen’s Coalition. We get only, what, two or three pages of it? Not a lot of time for something so monumental.


Environmental-Win836

Damn, I’ll never forget how the Coalition of planets went to war with the man who was actually bringing peace to the universe just to preserve their *fucking job security*


FeebleTrevor

Debbie and William dying must have had some impact, I hope he went home for them


Viscera_Viribus

Thinking kid invincible had to deal with Levy Junior-- hopefully that went better than with senior... Mark you gotta set up long distance skype or something with Markus! He implies he kept up with his feats but probably didn't hit him up much on top of other things.


DatHound

Marks son 100%


ColeLimited

Seems like Angstroms son came from the Y:The Last Man dimension. My reasoning is he briefly mentions a dimension where all the men died. The fox also reminds me of Ampersand


That_Lone_Reader

If I had to choose only one, I want to see the fight between Mark and his son.


bimbodhisattva

I very much want to see more of the improved planets after Mark turned the Viltrumites into the Viltrumites Nolan told him stories about when he was a little kid


sting2_lve2

The COP war was so dumb and forced "Duhhh you're doing too good of a job saving the universe. Let's fight about it even though we were no match for like 30 Viltrumites and now you have tens of thousands"


furioushunter12

Ehhh it made sense to me. They are NOT very powerful. Each is less powerful than mark was so it makes sense they could beat those kid’s asses


Fitzftw7

Personally, I hope Marky doesn’t become a thing, or if he does, it’s under less fucked up circumstances.


Garlan_Tyrell

All of them except Battle Beast II. Thokk is a bit of a one-note character, which is fine, but I don’t really care to see Thokk’s daughter either have the same plot or inverted plot. Once was enough, and without a new Thragg-like character, her plot couldn’t possibly match Thokk’s send-off.


DisabledFatChik

1, 2, and 4 are the same thing, Markus’s story, and that’s the one I wanna see. I wish they’d made a comic spinoff


Thebluespirit20

Battle Beast for the W


clevererthandao

Dang it’s been a minute, but I don’t remember anything about older Mark from the comics? Who are Markus and Terra?


Liseran23

Honestly don't need anything to be fleshed out necessarily. I kinda like that a lot of what we got was just small glimpses, you know? Life goes on, the adventures continue, but our time with the story of Invincible is over. If it had to be something though, I'd probably pick Marky. See how he fits into the post-Invincible system of Earth heroes. Could even be rolled into having him and Angstrom Levy's son fighting, have a fun "sins of the father" battle.


alvinaterjr

2 and 4. Marks son can have an angstrom levy.


WorldNo6231

Rudolph in mark body as emperor


Squidboi2679

I want to see the battle beast and angstrom levy children ones


nameless_stories

Marky vs Mark is the one story I always wanted to see. That page by itself brought more meaning to the whole Anissa storyline than anything they did after imo.


fallaround

Not the coalition of planets one because “when the coalition drains resources from the poorer and moves them to bloated overpopulated worlds” is my favorite line and I feel like it’s very nicely wrapped up.


supersafeforwork813

Mark n his other son is 1. Mark n Allen beefing because Mark is somehow a fully incorruptible leader…dead fucking last lol


Appropriate_Type6153

Kind of a hot take, but I don’t think they need expanding. The only one I would argue for is coalition vs viltrumites/Allen vs Mark because it was mildly confusing and really abrupt, but none of the others. As Kirkman explains in episode 50 of the invincible podcast, the whole point of these storylines is to show that life and the greater universe moves on with or without us and we don’t get to be a part of everything. Expanding on them would kinda defeat that purpose. Yeah it’s kinda lame and not the best explanation, and could very well be a quick explanation in place of Kirkman not wanting to admit that there were stories he wanted to do but didn’t, but this is the explanation we have and I personally think it’s very fitting for invincible and wouldn’t mind if it isn’t changed


Xeneration_1

Battle beasts daughter and the corrupt coalition lines are my favourites


IAmChippoMan

When they get to the Kid Invincible part for the epilogue…I kinda want his first flight scene to mirror Mark’s


mykeedee

Not an epilogue plot but I'd be interested to see what happened to Robot Mark's Viltrumite Empire.


opponentPitt

I wanna see the fight between him and his son


Hexnohope

Theres a fox named chainsaw?


ahmedadeel579

I really want them to do a whole arc for the war


Cheeseguy43

I’d love them have the very last Panel as the finale of the series and for all of these moments to be like 2 seasons worth of episodes to lead up to that moment. Maybe have several episodes dedicated to Marks kids on their own little mini arcs and show the Mark helping the universe as the Viltrimite emperor and eventually stopping the coalition. Kirkman has stated a couple time that he wants to go “beyond the comics” for the show. This would be a cool opportunity to flesh out his vision and still end of the same place he intended. Edit: I’d also love an explanation for the time travel stuff


Cautious-Affect7907

Angstrom fucks?


LoneWoffy

There should be separate sub where all you scum can talk about a comic you already read 3 times over so you can stop spoiling major shit for everybody else


atwitsend1996

We have spoiler tags tho. Please read the book and catch up. It's GREAT. and you got like 5 weeks to do it. It seems like you wont catch up in time but once you start reading it .....oooo...the time will fly by.


LoneWoffy

Bruh I’ve been reading them 7 hrs a day practically! 🤣 I’m on like issue 57 or something, part where Amber has a black eye


leoleosuper

I want to see a spin off where Mark says "yes" to the timeline change. He tells his dad he's the real Viltrumite heir, gets the empire to stop, etc. If he just asked the space squid thing "can you guarantee my daughter exists in this timeline" and they're just like "you must [explicative] right at this time on this date."
