I find it to be near impossible to avoid hints and spoilers from the comics being a show-only on here. I wish there was a way to safely talk about the show on this sub or some other but it just seems really difficult due to (seemingly) over half the sub having read the comics and seeing the comic spoiler flare on 75% of posts.

Any other show-only’s in the same boat?

    Well, you could always read the comics. I honestly wouldn’t recommend it, though. The show’s better and - no matter how many comics spoilers you see - the reality is that the show will have to rewrite a bunch of it because it really… well it’s not well written to begin with and would need heavy lifting to translate to animation.

    The spoiler posts are usually blurred out and require two clicks. It isn’t too hard to avoid them, but keep in mind this comic is like 20 years old so spoilers at this point for fans are like openly saying Game of Thrones stuff.

      Or literally any media that is based on other media. Harry Potter movie watchers when the books came out first and so on. Til the end of time.

      You gotta stay away from a thing on the internet if you dont want to see that thing. It can suck but it is what it is.

      No I would say there should be another for the TV show cause there are way more comic book readers on here than show-onlys, at least it feels that way.

      Edit: and apparently what the other guy said if true is there were here first because the show has pnly been around for 2 years instead of 20.

    Join us or ya you should leave the sub. Its going to take forever to finish the show and it will be nearly impossible to miss spoilers if you sub here. Comics are well worth the read. Plus its cool seeing the differences. I just reread in prep for S2

    I know its an annoying thing to request… but imma recommend you read the comics.

    Invincible is the best piece of media I’ve ever taken in, and it only gets better from here. One of the few stories that doesn’t fade into obscurity or meander along its way.

    In my opinion, the show makes the comics better, and now that you’ve got voices established, you’ll read Steven Yun and K.M.Richardson and J.K. Simmons voices in your head.

    You guys should set up a separate sub, nobody wants to ruin it for you, but also we want to talk about the comic things and some people can’t properly shield the spoilers. The comics don’t take that long to read though I blew through the whole series in a few days, yall can also read the comics if you can find them. Then you’ll be even more into the show and mad about the waiting

    Yeah im very careful opening anything from this subreddit. I dont think I can last much longer before diving into the comics but its nice to enjoy the show with no prior knowledge of the universe.
