Kirkman explains absence of Image characters in Invincible

In the "Invincible" comic series, the Invincible War storyline is notable for including characters from the comic publisher Image. This includes well-known figures like Spawn and Savage Dragon. However, these characters will not appear in the third season of the "Invincible" TV show on Prime Video. Robert Kirkman, the co-creator of "Invincible," said there were attempts to include these characters. He is a fan of the early Image comics and wanted to feature them in the show. Despite the enthusiasm, Kirkman explained that the process became complicated. Legal and logistical issues made it difficult to integrate these characters into the series. Kirkman mentioned that while those at Image were generally supportive of the idea, the challenges were too great. This would have delayed the show's production further, leading to the decision not to move forward with the cameos. He expressed disappointment, saying it would have been exciting to work with those characters. Looking ahead, it is uncertain if Image characters will appear in future seasons of "Invincible." The upcoming fourth season may introduce a new storyline, potentially involving hell, which could allow for a cameo from Spawn. However, no official plans for Image character appearances have been confirmed at this time.
