Skybound and Image Comics have announced the return of Invincible Universe: Battle Beast from the longtime Invincible creative team.  Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #7 kicks off an all-new story arc of the bestselling series from co-creator/writer Robert Kirkman, co-creator/artist Ryan Ottley, colorist Annalisa Leoni, and letterer Rus Wooton will arrive in comic book shops March 18, 2026. 

Perfect for longtime fans and new readers alike, Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #7 kicks off a new blood-soaked epic, as Battle Beast now faces the two most dangerous enemies of his lifetime…and did we mention that the Viltrum Empire is on the way?  

Even in a universe of mighty Viltrumites like Invincible and Omni-Man, it seems that no one may be able to stop the galaxy’s deadliest warrior…unless he does the unthinkable. A new story arc begins as Battle Beast continues his quest to find the one being who can defeat him in battle and end his life.
