Invincible season 4 ends with a twist most fans didn’t see coming.
Mark and Thragg’s long-awaited showdown on Earth doesn’t explode into violence. Instead, it ends in a tense truce that could reshape the Viltrumite Empire’s future.
But the finale’s post-credits scene drops an even bigger bomb, teasing a dangerous new threat targeting both Mark and the Viltrumites on Earth. Naturally, viewers are now wondering what happens next.
The good news is that Robert Kirkman’s original comic already has the answers.
Here’s exactly where to pick up the Invincible comic after the season 4 finale and continue the story.

The show’s fourth season mainly adapted The Viltrumite War arc from the comic. In the post-credits scene, Allen receives a posthumous message from Thadeus revealing a perfected Scourge Virus.
The scene aligns with the ending of Issue #78, marking the end of The Viltrumite War arc.

The Invincible comic is available to read on Kindle and the Image Comics website.

Yes, Invincible has already been renewed for a fifth installment.
With 144 issues in the comic, the adaptation has only reached the halfway point of Mark’s story.
In a March 2026 interview with Collider, Kirkman and co-showrunner Simon Racioppa suggested that the fifth season could arrive sooner than expected. The duo revealed that the new episodes were already close to completing production.

“End of production, start of post. I guess we can say that,” Racioppa said.
When asked whether the next installment would arrive in March 2027, Kirkman admitted that while the show has a familiar release pattern, season 5 could arrive earlier.
“Maybe May. Maybe January. I don’t know,” he said.
Invincible is streaming on Prime Video.
