Skybound and Image Comics bring Invincible Universe: Battle Beast roaring back with issue #7. The new arc launches March 18, 2026, from the core Invincible team. Robert Kirkman writes. Ryan Ottley draws. Annalisa Leoni colors. Rus Wooton letters. The creative lineup returns to push Battle Beast deeper into the chaos that defines him.
A New Arc With New Enemies
Issue #7 opens a brutal new chapter. Battle Beast confronts the two most dangerous foes he has ever faced. The stakes climb fast as the Viltrum Empire closes in. The series delivers a fresh entry point for new readers while escalating the mythology for longtime fans.
Skybound Builds Momentum for Invincible Month
The issue arrives as Skybound launches Invincible Month in March 2026. The celebration rolls out high-demand reprints, new collections, and tie-ins ahead of season 4 of the hit Prime Video series. The universe expands even further with Invincible VS, Skybound and Quarter Up’s tournament-style 3v3 fighting game. The franchise continues to grow in print, on screen, and now in competitive gameplay.
Creators Promise Bigger Battles and Deeper Secrets
“Between season 4 of the show and the events of this Battle Beast series, 2026 is all about the Viltrumites,” said Robert Kirkman. “Readers are finally seeing what this story is really building toward. Arc one only teased the chaos ahead as we reveal how Battle Beast ended up in that Viltrumite prison.”
Ryan Ottley teases an even larger confrontation. “Did Thragg say CONQUEST at the end of issue 6? Does that mean Battle Beast fights Conquest? Could it be? And we get a Todd McFarlane cover on top of that? Bless my biscuits.”
Executive Editor Ben Abernathy raises the stakes. “The blood-soaked return of Battle Beast is here. Fans and retailers will see one of the strongest single issues of the year.”
Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #7 lands in comic shops and on digital platforms on Wednesday, March 18, 2026.
