Why Robert Kirkman Says Rex Splode’s Special Isn’t Coming Anytime Soon!

by

In simple terms, the seventh episode of Invincible’s third season packs a strong emotional punch, particularly for fans of Rex Splode. Although there might be a time when we witness a tribute to him, it’s unlikely that a dedicated special will come up anytime soon.

Following the acclaim of Invincible’s initial season, Amazon approved Invincible: The Origin of Atom Eve, a prequel delving into the character’s astonishing (and surprising) past, unfolding events that occurred before her encounter with Mark Grayson in the primary series.

In an interview, Kirkman referred to the TV series as a revised version of the narrative, but the special explicitly adapts stories from Atom Eve’s comics found in the Invincible Universe Compendium, featuring a collaboration with Rex too.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the introduction of Rex Splode special moves in our game for quite some time now, alongside the exciting Conquest mode. While it’s not impossible to see this happen, there’s a straightforward explanation as to why it hasn’t been at the forefront of development priorities yet.

Robert Kirkman addresses demand for Invincible Rex Splode special

Hey there! As a die-hard fan of Invincible, I had a chat with TopMob about the upcoming Episode 7 and Robert Kirkman shared that he’s been yearning to create a Rex Splode special someday. However, for now, they’re keeping their eyes on the ball with the consistent annual release schedule for Invincible.

Absolutely, the narrative is present, and it’s a project that comic enthusiasts like us are eager to bring to life,” he commented.

Currently, our main priority is ensuring the smooth progression of the series by completing enough episodes to maintain a consistent release schedule. However, it’s my hope that in the future, we’ll have the opportunity to introduce some interesting diversions and pauses, allowing us to explore some exciting aspects of the show.

Without giving any spoilers, it’s clear that there will undoubtedly be increased interest in a Rex Splode special following Episode 7, along with stories focusing on additional characters such as Brit and Tech Jacket, who seem to be involved in defending Earth during the Invincible War, hinting at potential spin-offs.

Given the extended anticipation for Season 2 and the criticism over its divided structure, it’s understandable that Kirkman plans to release a complete season each year from now on.

Kirkman mentioned that the process for producing the show is both lengthy and intricate, but everyone involved seems to be finding ways to make it smoother and more effective as they gain a better understanding of what the show requires.

We’ve been consistently working on Season 2 since it began, without any major interruptions such as a pandemic, which is why there may not be a significant break in production compared to previous seasons.

As a devoted fan, I can’t wait for Episode 8’s release! Here’s a handy guide for when Season 3 of Invincible hits our screens and let’s not forget to follow the show’s soundtrack too. Until then, delve into why Mark’s blue suit holds such significance, uncover the fates of Powerplex and Angstrom Levy as depicted in the comics, and even sneak a peek at what happens to them if you decide to read ahead by checking out the Invincible comics for free. Enjoy the journey!
