I remember reading Invincible in high school and watching fan films about the comic, it’s so insane to see it so popular now. Omni Man in Mortal Kombat 1, Mark, Eve and Nolan in Fortnite.
Just wanted to take a second I guess to point out how lucky we are that we’re getting a really faithful adaptation, when the show got annouced, I thought it was gonna be stuck in development hell like the movie that was annouced ages ago.
Did he read Archie comics as a kid? because that’s a comic book franchise that’s been around for decades. Disney has also been publishing comic books since the 1940s, but they are more popular outside of the US.
TMNT, Walking Dead, Tales from the Crypt, 300, Hellboy, The Crow, Judge Dredd, and The Mask are all based off comics that are not Marvel or DC. He has to have seen one of those, even if he’s never read the comics.
