Battle Beast #1 Shatters Records: Invincible Universe Spin-off Sells Nearly 400K Copies Before Release!
Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley unleash a record breaking Invincible Universe spin-off!
In an exciting and historic moment for the comic book industry, Battle Beast #1 from the Invincible Universe is making serious waves having already sold nearly 400,000 copies ahead of its release! Created by Robert Kirkman, Annalisa Leoni and Ryan Ottley, this brand new spin-off is shaping up to be one of the biggest comic launches of 2025.
Interestingly, this news comes just weeks after DC’s ‘Batman: Hush 2’ powered by comic legends like Jim Lee, dominated headlines by locking 400K+ pre-orders. While the Batman fanbase and the all-star creative team contributed heavily to Hush’s monumental numbers, Battle Beast #1 proves that fans are just as eager for fresh blood, new characters and brutal, compelling storytelling.

The cover art shows Battle Beast in his full glory, feral, powerful and surrounded by defeated foes, perfectly capturing the raw, savage energy that fans can’t seem to get enough of.
Part of this massive success is credited to the growing popularity of Amazon Prime Video’s Invincible animated series, which introduced a wider audience to Battle Beast’s fierce and no nonsense warrior ethos. Comic Book Fans and Viewers, old and new are now hungry for more of his untold story.
Another huge factor behind this explosion of sales is the first of its kind Blind Bag Program by Image Comics. Arriving on May 14, 2025, these blind bags give collectors a thrilling chance to pull ANY cover from A through I. Even more enticing, there are rare SURPRISE issues hidden in the blind bags, some of which may not even be related to ‘Battle Beast’ or the ‘Invincible Universe’! These surprise editions will not be publicly revealed before release, adding another layer of excitement and mystery for collectors.
With Battle Beast #1 already breaking barriers and blind bags heightening the mystery, it’s safe to say 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for comics. Whether you’re a long time Invincible fan or a new reader jumping in, this launch is one you won’t want to miss! Cheers – Comics Byte!!
