"I'm extremely thankful to Amazon for the support and dedication they've put behind Invincible," series creator Robert Kirkman said in a statement Thursday.

"The comic book is truly a love letter to a genre that Cory [Walker] and I grew up reading and loving, and it's been a gratifying journey to watch our characters come to life again through the animated series. We're beyond excited to continue this story for at least two more seasons."

The show follows 17-year-old Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), son of the most powerful superhero on the planet, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons,) as he starts developing extraordinary powers of his own.

The vocal cast for Invincible also includes Sandra Oh, Seth Rogen, Gillian Jacobs, Andrew Rannells, Zazie Beetz, Mark Hamill, Walton Goggins, Jason Mantzoukas, Zachary Quinto, Mahershala Ali, Melise, Kevin Michael Richardson, Grey Griffin and Khary Payton.
