Exciting news for fans of the Invincible universe: Battle Beast is finally set to receive his own dedicated spinoff. As one of the most compelling characters from Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley’s acclaimed series, this announcement is particularly thrilling.
The surge in popularity of Invincible can be attributed to its successful animated adaptation on Prime Video. Viewers have been captivated not only by the intimidating Viltrumite villains but also by a diverse cast of characters that includes the iconic Mauler Twins, Atom Eve, and Allen the Alien, among others.
However, Battle Beast stands out among these characters for his impressive prowess and captivating presence. First appearing in Invincible Issue #19, he quickly established himself as a formidable adversary to the Viltrumites. With his striking design and fearsome abilities, Battle Beast has earned a well-deserved spotlight in the upcoming series.
A Fantastic Time to Celebrate Battle Beast
In an exciting development, Kirkman and Ottley have announced a prequel comic series titled Invincible Universe: Battle Beast. This new series will delve into the character’s rich backstory, taking place between Issues #19 and #55 of the original comic. According to an IGN report, it aims to explore the complexities of Battle Beast’s quest for a worthy opponent.
The storyline hints at a darker turn, describing how Battle Beast will grapple with the dilemma of seeking a fatal end to his relentless cycle of violence, considering an “unthinkable” solution to liberate himself and his loved ones from perpetual conflict.
This series is set to launch in April 2025, conveniently timed just weeks following the finale of Invincible Season 3 on Prime Video. This synchronization may well revitalize interest in both the animated series and the comic.
The ongoing enthusiasm for Battle Beast has pleasantly surprised Ottley and Kirkman. Initially intended as an enhancement to Invincible’s lineup of villains, Ottley recalls uncertainty regarding Battle Beast’s longevity in the series. He remarked, “I wasn’t sure if he’d be a big character who’d come back throughout the series or a character who’d die a terrible gory death right away.”
As fans eagerly await the spinoff, it’s clear that Battle Beast’s legacy is set to expand and resonate even more deeply within the Invincible narrative.
