An Epic Tale Returns
LOS ANGELES 12/10/2024 — Skybound, alongside Image Comics, unveiled the all-new Invincible Universe series: Battle Beast. This marks the first new Invincible comic in a significant span of seven years. The debut issue promises to delight readers starting April 2025, offering a deep dive into the narrative of fan-favorite Battle Beast.
Perfectly tailored for both loyal followers and newcomers, this ongoing series promises to unwrap long-held secrets of Battle Beast’s adventures. It’s the most sought-after Invincible narrative ever penned.
“When Robert and I first crafted Battle Beast back in Invincible issue #19, we hoped he’d return,” Ottley shared. “Robert’s storytelling kept us and fans always guessing.” Fortunately, Battle Beast thrived, becoming a cherished character with more tales to tell.
Unraveling the World of Battle Beast
Cursed with an insatiable lust for combat, Battle Beast roams the universe. He seeks the one mightier warrior capable of ending his tragic existence. In a galaxy populated by formidable Viltrumites, his quest remains daunting. Yet, even the mightiest can falter against the galaxy’s fiercest warrior unless Battle Beast dares the unthinkable.
“Fans have been literally begging for this series for years,” noted Ben Abernathy, Skybound’s Executive Editor. This book is set to astound readers, as Kirkman and Ottley pour their passion into creating an epic comic experience.
Adding a unique twist, Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #1 introduces a first-of-its-kind blind bag program. Fans have a chance to snag any of the solicited covers from A to I, each a potential treasure chest of surprises.

Ryan Ottley, who joined soon after, became integral to cementing Invincible’s legacy during its 15-year run. The series spawned multiple spin-offs and even collaborated with a certain wall-crawler.
