The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Invincible is an American adult animated superhero television series created by Robert Kirkman for the streaming service Amazon Prime Video, based on the Image Comics comic book series of the same name he co-created with Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley. It is produced by Skybound Entertainment, Wind Sun Sky Entertainment, Point Grey Pictures, and Amazon MGM Studios. The series follows teenager Mark Grayson, a human-alien hybrid, who becomes a crime-fighting superhero known as "Invincible" under the guidance of his father, Nolan / Omni-Man, the most powerful superhero on the planet. As he adjusts to his new powers, Mark struggles to balance his personal life with his superhero duties and is forced to prove that he can live up to his father, unaware of a conspiracy that threatens the world and leading him to question the true nature of his role. Steven Yeun stars in the series as Mark, alongside J. K. Simmons and Sandra Oh as Mark's father and mother, Nolan and Debbie Grayson, respectively, while the remaining cast members have recurring roles. Invincible premiered its eight-episode first season across March and April 2021, after which Amazon renewed the series for a second and third season. A prequel special, "Invincible: Atom Eve", was released in July 2023. The eight-episode second season was divided into two parts, first released in November 2023, then across March and April 2024. The eight-episode third season was released across February and March 2025. The eight-episode fourth season was released across March and April 2026. A fifth and sixth season have been announced. The series has received widespread critical acclaim, with praise for its action sequences, story, voice performances (particularly Yeun, Oh, and Simmons), faithfulness to the comics, and emotional weight. It has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards, two Annie Awards and the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Animated Series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
