Invincible creator Robert Kirkman has teased a dark road ahead for Mark Grayson now that the animated hero has stopped pulling his punches.

"This is a very dark period in Mark's life," Kirkman says in the new issue of SFX magazine, which features Daredevil: Born Again on the cover and hits newsstands on January 29.

It's that word, "surprise", that appears be the theme of the third season. While it may stop short of outright wrongfooting its audience, Kirkman certainly wants to keep viewers unsteady.

"One of the most exciting things about season3, for me, is really just the scale of it," Kirkman says. "What we're trying to do on this show at all times is think about that audience perception. We think about how savvy people are watching all these streaming shows so we're figuring out ways to go, 'You think this show is going to go this way? Guess what? It's not.' We accomplished that in a lot of different ways in season three that I think people are going to be pretty shocked by."
