For years now, adult animated series have been just as popular as the ones designed for children. From crass humor or bloody imagery, these mature series have consistently gotten more and more brutal over the years, with the new superhero coming of age series Invincible serving as the most recent endeavor.

Full of graphic violence, sensual imagery, and mature language, Invincible sets the bar for all adult shows. As the series continues to progress, fans begin to see similarities in both the story elements, violence, and even animation in other shows that give off the same feel as Amazon’s graphic comic book animated series.

10 Samurai Jack (2001)

Not all series begin with the intent of being mature. Invincible begins in a light way, with the main character coming into their powers. It’s only by the end of the first episode that everything kicks off and in a way, Samurai Jack is the same.

For four seasons, the series about a samurai trying to get back to the past after being stranded in the future was lightish. Then, season five let loose with a graphic and amazingly well-told revival that embraced a mature feel after a light start.

9 Rick and Morty (2013)

Truthfully, Rick And Morty is a beast of its own. The bizarre adventures of a genius grandfather and his naive grandson became a large phenomenon for many. The question is though, how is the comedy series similar to a comic-book series like Invincible?

Although different in genre, the two series share a great sense of dark comedy between them. From slicing people in half to beating down heroes without mercy in strangely humorous fashions, these shows blend together and feel similar in that nature even while the genres are worlds apart.

8 Undone (2019)

There seems to be a trend of kids getting superpowers and trying to understand them in a lot of recent shows. Undone follows a young girl who discovers she has reality-warping and time travel abilities and utilizes them to try and solve the mystery of her father’s death.

Beyond the special power aspect, Undone and Invincible share a mystery aspect. While Undone explores a father’s death, Invincible dives into why Omni-Man killed the Guardians of the Globe. Not to mention both series share beautiful animation that lifts them to new and exciting heights.

7 Big Mouth (2017)

Most coming-of-age stories try to be realistic takes on kids coming into themselves and discovering their identity. Of course, while they try, they don’t always end up being the most realistic, and some like Big Mouth, lean into that.

Big Mouth is a look at several kids going through puberty and coming into themselves while plagued by Hormone monsters. Superpowers and creatures like a hormone monster add into that awkward phase everyone eventually goes through with plenty of fantastical elements folded into the almost real-world element the series presents.

6 Final Space (2018)

Crazy, out-of-this-world plots are what fans live for in shows. Storylines that defy expectations with intriguing and weird characters of Invincible like Monster Girl, Rex Splode, or even the villainous Mauler Twins propel the series forward. Final Space has the same feel and craziness at its heart shown throughout its episodes.

Following an astronaut named Gary encountering aliens and interdimensional beings. From Mooncake, a universe-destroying green blob to Little Cato, a humanoid cat who’s voiced by Steven Yuen just like Invincible, the bizarre yet lovable characters are what make the series pop in their own way.

5 Primal (2019)

Typically, brutal and vicious violence has defined what it means to be an adult cartoon series. Invincible more than happily took advantage of that by the end of the first episode. Other series did the same, such as Primal.

Created by animation mastermind Genndy Tarkovsky, Primal is the story of a caveman and dinosaur roaming a prehistoric world and battling for survival. Chock full of gore and brutal yet beautifully animated action, characters, and settings, Primal raised the stakes with in-depth and emotional storytelling against all that blood and viscera.

4 Castlevania (2017)

Nothing says bloody or brutal quite like vampires getting their heads lopped off or blown up. Like Invincible deals with a fantastical world where heroes exist and literal mind-blowing action happens every day, Castlevania exudes the same attributes.

In a world where Dracula has declared war on humanity, a sorceress, a monster hunter, and Dracula’s son rise to the occasion to take on the monster. Traversing the land of Wallachia and dispatching one monstrous horde after another, Castlevania works superbly and stands out as one of the best video-game adaptations.

3 The Awesomes (2013)

If there’s one thing Invincible has done well, it’s show superheroes in a different light. Like a lot of Amazon series, it’s all about displaying heroes in new and almost realistic ways. While it’s done in a more serious tone there, The Awesomes did the same on a more comedic scale.

In the short-lived series of only three seasons, The Awesomes sees a new group of heroes trying to replace the old guard. Something only Adult Swim could create, The Awesomes was an irreverent yet enjoyable series and take on super-heroes.

2 Harley Quinn (2019)

While DC is still struggling to find its bearings in live-action, the animated side is thriving. Among the series lies the likes of Harley Quinn, an animated show following the titular character as she sets out to discover who she is, as Mark Grayson does as Invincible.

Although the two are incredibly different as Mark’s a hero, and Harley’s a villain/anti-hero, their journies reflect. Both are trying to find out who they are and how they fit in the world and as they do, shenanigans unfold as both series progress.

1 Spawn The Animated Series (1997)

Just because the live-action fails, doesn’t mean a product or character can’t find new life. When the movie version of Spawn, a story about a soldier who dies and becomes an agent of Hell flopped, no one thought the 1997 animated series could right the ship.

However, through it all, the series managed to thrive for three seasons. Garnering praise for its action, voice actors (especially Kieth David), and its a dark and complex story, Invincible is in a lot of ways, the modern-day version of that series.
