Robert Kirkman launched 。 Invincible。 and。The Walking Dead 。in the same year, but the former is set to end in 2017 while the latter shows no signs of slowing down.。

The cynic's view of this divide is fairly straightforward: one is a beloved-but-not-blockbuster comic book series, the other is a transmedia phenomenon and cultural touchstone. One makes good money, the other makes 。 all the money。all the money  。

There was a time that Kirkman thought。 Invincible。wouldn't survive much more than a year. It's unthinkable now, after 13 years of stories about Mark Grayson and his Viltrumite heritage, but it's true. 。

"[Before。"[Before。Invincible 。

That thinking changed as he delved deeper into the series and fleshed out his cast of characters.。

"I think there's a shift in the series if you're paying attention where things get a little bit more personal, a little bit more dramatic," Kirkman said. "It's not quite like 'There's a new villain every issue, he's fighting a new villain.'" 。

Kirkman admits that it's way too early for concrete plans -- the series isn't even over yet -- but he's open to the idea of coming back one day.。"I would never rule out coming back at some point to do something special," he said.
