Summary
InvincibleSeason 3 premiered on Prime Video on July 03, 2025, and throughout its previous seasons, fans have seen plenty ofWalking Deadreferences scattered in its episodes. It’s little wonder why the animated series has such a love for throwing in Easter eggs from the beloved post-apocalyptic series, asInvincible’s co-creator is the very same creator ofThe Walking Deadcomics. Not only this, but quite a few actors from the AMC show, which ran from 2010 to 2022, also feature in Kirkman’s animated superhero adventure.
Even inThe Walking Dead’s episodes, a number ofInvinciblereferences can also be found, like Carl (Chandler Riggs) reading issues of the comic, “Invincible”- themed t-shirts, as well as Sam playing with toys that showcasecharacters like Allen the Alien and Omni-Mancan be seen. Maybe one of the biggest Easter eggs in the animated series so far has been Negan (Jeffery Dean Morgan) fromTWDmaking his way over to play Conquest in season 3, in which he confronts Mark Grayson in an ironic scene that seesInvincible’s protagonist, voiced by Steven Yeun, finally get his chance at revenge for his characterGlenn’s death inThe Walking Dead.In season 3’s bloody and violent finale between the pair, anotherThe Walking Deadreference can be found and this time, it’s a nod to Rick Grimes' most savage moment.
Invincible Season 3’s Bloody Battle Sees Mark Pay Homage to Rick Grimes’ Violent Act
InInvincibleSeason 3’s savage final battlebetween Mark and Conquest, the show’s protagonist had been getting trashed by the Viltrumite veteran warrior, but in a bid to get the upper hand and finally overpower the bloody battle, Mark can be seen sinking his teeth into Conquest’s shoulder and in turn, breaking free from the villain’s powerful grip. This particular gruesome act by Mark is a subtle nod to one of Rick Grimes' most brutal scenes inThe Walking Dead,where hejumps into action to protect his son Carl by biting into Joe’s neck, ripping out his throat, and spitting a mouthful of splurting blood all over the ground.
Rick’s unbelievably brutal yet understandably violent act meant that Carl and Michonne managed to get away safely from the sadistic and cruel Claimers and live to fight another day. Rick’s iconic and bloody moment has gone down inThe Walking Dead’s history books as one of the most ruthless and shocking scenes in the series, although Glenn’s death at the hands of Negan does take some beating. It appears thatMark inInvinciblehas also adopted the same mindset and outlook as Rick when it comes to bringing some enemies to their knees and will do what it takes to keep the ones he loves under his protection.
Invincibleseason 3 consists of eight episodes, with its last final episode released on July 18, 2025. However,Invinciblewas officially renewed for Season 4, so fans will have to keep an eye out for even moreThe Walking DeadEaster eggs when it returns.
