Not even Smallville could combine YA drama and superhero DNA this well.
The trailer for Amazon's Invincible.
The last few years have been great for viewers who enjoy standard-issue CW teen dramas (Gossip Girl forever!) but want a little something extra mixed in. Bridgerton blends in period piece flair and a Cinemax "Skinemax" pulse, while The End of the Fucking World merges dark comedy and a post-apocalyptic world. And don't forget how Anna and the Apocalypse manages to weave together teen drama, Christmas stories, zombies, and musicals (albeit in a film).
But no show has playfully leveraged genres with a teen narrative at its core as creatively as Invincible, Amazon Prime's new animated series based on the Robert Kirkman comics. The story follows ho-hum high school nobody Mark Grayson doing all the usual stuff: trying relationships, considering his post-graduation future, and dealing with overarching family drama. But all that noise only gets more complicated because Mark happens to be the son of the most powerful being in the galaxy, a Superman-like figure known as Omni-Man to the world (and Nolan to his family). Teen drama meets a superhero story, meaning the guy coming of age happens to be coming into his powers, too.
Invincible wraps its first season this weekend, and Variety reported Amazon has renewed the show for two more seasons already. That's great news, because it means people who love superheroes now have time to catch up. This show may not have "Marvel's" in the title, but after these eight episodes, I'm extremely confused why you'd get your new caped crusader kicks anywhere else.

I have always struggled with what to think about Virgin Galactic, the brilliantly marketed space-tourism company founded by Sir Richard Branson in 2004.
Certainly, Branson founded the company with laudable goals. Bringing more people above the planet to see the curvature of the Earth and experience weightlessness should only help humanity better understand the value of our fragile world. And Branson's infusion of private funding into spaceflight, alongside that of other billionaires, has been an extraordinary boon over the last two decades in terms of pushing humans further into the final frontier.
Yet Virgin Galactic has always felt like it had a little too much sizzle and not quite enough substance. Here's just one example: months of buildup, the company finally revealed in July what the interior of its VSS Unity spacecraft would look. However, upon the reveal, the views of the cabin weren't actual photographs. Instead, they were slick renderings.
