Image Comics and Skybound's Invincible Series Gets the Return of Cory Walker

 

New York Times bestselling author, multiple award-winning creator, and pop culture phenomenon Robert Kirkman (THE WALKING DEAD, OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA) reunites with original series artist—the fan-favorite and industry-beloved Cory Walker—for an all-new, heart-wrenching, jaw-dropping story arc coming this April from Image/Skybound.

 

In INVINCIBLE #127, Mark has returned from the past... to a very different future. Now he has to pick up the pieces of his life and try to put them back together.

 

In an exclusive interview with IGN, Walker added: “I’m a genuine fan of the book and I’ve always been involved in varying degrees through the years, but as the opportunity began to present itself, this possibility that I could come on and fill in for a few issues, it was pretty exciting. I have slowly been working on other things and haven’t had a comic on stands since I shared art duties with Ryan back on the Flaxan invasion/Rex and Monster Girl story back in Invincible 92-96, so the prospect of putting ANY comics out relatively soon was a sweet enough proposition, but make it Invincible and I can’t say no.”

 

INVINCIBLE #127 (Diamond Code FEB160514) will hit comic book stores on Wednesday, April 20th. The final order cutoff deadline for comic book retailers is Monday, March 28th.

SDCC Skybound Minis The Walking Dead and Invincible Blind Box Exclusives at San Diego Comic Con 2014

San Diego Comic Con 2014 and Skybound would introduce the world to their new toy line of blind box figures, which included The Walking Dead Rick Grimes and Invincible "Mark Grayson". Each box included a Rick Grimes and Invincible vinyl figure. Because they were blind boxed, there would be different variations included in each box, with some very rare chase figures possibilities. 

 The packaging for the SDCC Skybound Minis premiere was very simple with the Skybound logo along with the Minis logo. As mentioned, the exclusive blind box would include two figures. The sketch above was created by the designer of the figures, Mr. Scott Tolleson. 

 Each case would include ten individual blind boxes inside. Here is the packaging of the premiere and reveal for the Skybound Minis vinyl figures, which includes both The Walking Dead Rick Grimes and Invincible. 

 The box would list the odds of possibilities individuals would receive inside their boxes. 

 The back of the box features the Skybound logo and stating it was an exclusive. The back would also feature the figures being designed by Scott Tolleson. 

 We got our hands on three blind boxes and felt we scored pretty big. This set includes the Glow in the Dark Bloody versions of Invincible and Rick Grimes. They are limited to only 500 pieces, so we feel we scored on a chase set. 

 We would have to hit up Mr. Scott Tolleson at his shared booth to sign our Skybound Minis figures.

 Rick Grimes includes his Sheriff hat separately. 

 Another big score in our second box would be the Bloody version set with both Invincible and Rick Grimes. We definitely were pleased to get the other limited set of only 500.

 We thought our luck would continue and we would get the super rare Gold "Bloody" set or Gold regular set, but no luck. With a run of only 50 sets, we knew it would be very difficult. We were happy with our figures though. I am definitely liking the beginning of the Skybound Minis figures. Scott Tolleson definitely did a great job in the design and sculpt of the figures. As far as we know, SDCC 2014 will be the only way to get the blank figures for both Invincible and Rick Grimes. 

 Scott Tolleson working on our sketch he did on our Skybound Minis box.

We took a moment to chat with Scott about the Skybound Minis and he gave us some great information. He mentioned that the Skybound Minis will be released sometime in 2015. The figures of course will continue the blind box action and feature different characters in the Skybound universe that will include The Walking Dead and Invincible and hopefully other characters from other Skybound Comics. He did mention the figures will be released fully colored with chase variations. 

We want to thank Scott Tolleson for the sketch and signing our Skybound Minis and for the great information on the future of the line. We are definitely looking forward to seeing what will be coming!

Robert Kirkman Writes Invincible #111 to Bring a Bold New Direction

 

INVINCIBLE #111 is the first issue of a bold new direction, a startling new era, and stories for a new generation from Robert Kirkman, the creator of THE WALKING DEAD empire and up-for-anything artist Ryan Ottley. Suddenly infused with more gore and terror than a zombie apocalypse, INVINCIBLE takes a turn down the dark path of horror when Invincible is betrayed by one of his own. 

 

“If The Walking Dead is the zombie movie that never ends, Invincible is the superhero movie that never ends. Like The Walking Dead, it takes a well-worn genre and puts a new spin on it, raising the stakes and treating things a little more seriously than they otherwise are,” said Kirkman. “With these new issues, starting with 111, we’re really going to be ramping up those elements of the series to their highest peak. I don’t think people are prepared for all the lines we’re going to cross... and not look back. This really is an exciting time to be an Invincible fan.”

 

INVINCIBLE #111 packs the punch of three #1 issues combined and is the perfect jumping on point for new readers, that will blow the minds of long-time Invincible fans.  

 

INVINCIBLE #111 arrives in stores on 4/16 and will be available for $2.99.

 

INVINCIBLE #111 can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code FEB140476.
