Skybound has strategically used its ‘Wheel of Awesome’ and ownership of the IP to spin blood, guts, and gore into video games, merchandise, tabletop games, music, and of course, comics.
Created by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker, Image Comics’ Invincible #1 debuted to critical acclaim on January 22, 2003. Soon after, they were joined by artist and contributing creator Ryan Ottley. Throughout its fifteen-year run, Invincible continued for a historic 144-issues, spawning multiple spin-off series’. In 2021, the Invincible animated series arrived on Prime Video and quickly became one of the most popular new streaming series of the year, earning praise worldwide for its fresh storytelling. With new projects continually announced, Invincible remains a cornerstone of the pop culture landscape that continues to prove itself as a world-renowned franchise whose universe knows no bounds.
