Epic Rematch: Invincible Faces Conquest in Season Finale Next Week

LOS ANGELES, CA — The animated series Invincible is gearing up for an intense showdown in its upcoming finale, where Mark Grayson, also known as Invincible, faces off against the formidable Viltrumite villain, Conquest. This highly anticipated rematch will air next Thursday, bringing together characters voiced by actors from The Walking Dead, Steven Yeun and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

This season, Invincible has already seen Mark (voiced by Yeun) engaged in a fierce battle against Angstrom Levy and a multitude of Evil Invincibles from across the multiverse. As season 3 heads toward its climax, the stage is set for a dramatic confrontation with Conquest, whose arrival marks a significant threat to Earth.

“This is going to be a brutal fight,” said Robert Kirkman, creator of both Invincible and The Walking Dead. “Fans can expect the final two episodes to be the most impactful yet.” He previously hinted that Mark would have to confront Conquest about his inadequacies in preparing Earth for the impending Viltrumite takeover.

Fans familiar with The Walking Dead will recognize the irony in this casting choice. In the AMC zombie drama, Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s character, Negan, is known for his infamous encounter with Glenn, Yeun’s character, involving a brutal act of violence. “I’m thrilled to get to be a part of this and give Steven his chance at redemption,” Morgan remarked, acknowledging the meta-nature of their rematch.

As for Yeun, he too is looking forward to this confrontation. “It’s a fun twist,” he said, hinting at the excitement surrounding their characters’ storied pasts. The stakes are high as Mark approaches his battle with Conquest, especially after the devastating loss of Rex Splode earlier this season.

In the course of the season, viewers have witnessed Mark’s growth and resilience. However, this rematch against Conquest is poised to test his limits like never before. As Kirkman noted, “Conquest brings with him a tremendous amount of personality, even as he embarks on his destructive path.”

To further heighten audience engagement, Invincible has embraced a star-studded voice cast comprised of familiar names from The Walking Dead, including Khary Payton, Ross Marquand, Lennie James, Sonequa Martin-Green, Lauren Cohan, Chad L. Coleman, and Michael Cudlitz, creating a bridge between the two series.

As the series approaches its conclusion, Kirkman hinted at larger plans, suggesting that even with the climactic battle against Conquest, fans can expect the story to evolve further in the seasons to come.

With all eyes now on the upcoming finale, viewers are left to wonder: will Mark emerge victorious against Conquest, or will his past once again haunt him in this vicious showdown? Tune in next week to find out.
