It's been a while, hasn't it! Are you still supporting #IndieAnimation? There's just under ONE MONTH to go until #IndieAnimationDay on 16th May, and the feed will return soon! Until then, stay tuned. We have an important PSA coming next week...

I think what brought me to love #invincible is how unafraid this series was in showing the very real consequences of having superpowers And after that S3 finale I just can't stop watching, I want more
