Beastly New Covers Are on the Way for Robert Kirkman & Ryan Ottley’s Hit Series!
Today Skybound and Image Comics announced another massive round of sellouts for the best-selling series Invincible Universe: Battle Beast.
On the heels of the release of Invincible Universe Battle Beast #8, every single previous issue has been sent back to the printer with gory new covers for fans and collectors to feast on. This latest batch of Invincible Universe: Battle Beast (#1-7) reprints will be available in comic shops on May 20, 2026.
Fans had their fun with Invincible Month, but it’s now time to bow before the deadliest warrior in the universe, Battle Beast! While he might not be Invincible, Battle Beast has taken quite the beating from Colossus and Juggernaut but shows no signs of slowing down as the series ramps up the blood-soaked action with the Viltrum Empire on its way!
Now is the time for fans to fill in any gaps in their Invincible Universe: Battle Beast collection. The biggest new series launch of 2025 is only getting bigger as it enters its second year with another batch of talented artists adding gorgeous covers to the catalog. Collect new covers by Michele Rubini (Super Creepshow) & Matteo Vattani (Gehenna: Naked Aggression), Riccardo Federici (Detective Comics), Riley Rossmo (Harley Quinn), InHyuk Lee (The Ultimates), Mike Hawthorne (Daredevil), David LaFuente (Ultimate Spider-Man), and Jason Howard (TRANSFORMERS).
