New images from Prime Video’s Invincible Season 2 featuring Allan the Alien just hit the Internet, but long-time fans of the comic recognized one moment from before a brutal fight.
It seems like it’s been forever since Invincible Season 1. The Prime Video-exclusive series was long in development, and while its 2021 debut was just over a year ago, the way has been excruciating.
Now that season is almost upon us, as first-look images have started to trickle out along with more info. A new batch of first-look images included looks at new characters voiced by She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany, as well as returning characters.
One of those characters is Allan the Alien, a beloved alien who debuted in the Invincible finale. Long-time comic fans were quick to recognize the scene, though, and they’re all too keenly aware of what’s coming next.
Invincible Season 2 first images confirm Allan’s fight with Viltrumites is coming
One of the images exclusively revealed by Gizmodo features Allan and his girlfriend, Telia, sitting in a diner on his homeworld of Talescria. This moment took place in Invincible #23, an Allan-focused episode that expanded on his backstory and his life.
While much of the issue is a fairly lighthearted issue showcasing a day in the life of a fan-favorite character, the issue ends on a dark note. The diner is attacked by a trio of Viltrumites who know about his interactions with Mark. They savagely beat down Allen, leaving him bleeding and broken in the depths of space.
Fans of the comic immediately picked up on the imagery and have been quietly watching fans cheer on the new images, knowing full well the gory horrors that are to come in the upcoming episodes.

Many fans knew the moment was coming, but to see it so directly teased in a Season 2 first-look image is a surprise. While it is a dark moment in a comic book series that became known for its darker stories, it is a pivotal turning point for the ongoing Viltrumite narrative.
It’s also a defining moment for Allan, who would eventually become one of Invincible’s strongest characters. How much of this Invincible adapts for Season 2 will be revealed when the series returns to Prime Video on November 3.
