    Well, I haven’t gotten very far in the comics at the moment. Yesterday, someone posted a few panels I haven’t seen yet where >!Eve is clinging to life and trying to talk after getting her lower jaw smashed off!< and that was the first time some of the gratuitous violence actually made me audibly gasp in real life.

    So yeah, that one’s gonna be in my head for a while…

      While Invincible is definitely full of violence, I don’t know if I would call it “gratuitous” in the same way that I would describe The Boys comics, or Injustice. I find most of Invincible’s way of addressing violence and gore is a sort of view that most mainstream comics haven’t, keeping a focus on the human aspects of these powers, especially with Invincible’s focus on civilian casualties throughout the series.

      Yeah that moment really hit me when I read it in the comics and I gotta say there is a lot more shocking moments just like that throughout the series so it’s gonna be brutal to see them depicted in animation.
