Robert Kirkman Teases New Invincible Spin-Offs After Battle Beast

by

Robert Kirkman, the unconquered creator behind the series, hinted at potential additional spin-offs following Battle Beast. This superhero tale has already given birth to several offshoots like Atom Eve & Rex Splode, The Pact, Brit, and Guarding the Globe. Kirkman introduced Battle Beast as a fresh spin-off centered around an intergalactic warrior superhero seeking a formidable adversary to grant him a honorable demise. The Battle Beast storyline is set to unfold in May, bridging the gap between his Invincible appearances.

As I eagerly await the arrival of “Battle Beast” at comic book stores, Robert Kirkman recently shared intriguing insights with SFX Magazine about the upcoming series. He hinted that this new venture could pave the way for additional spin-off comics set in the same universe as “Invincible.”

While some beloved characters from “Invincible” might make a reappearance, it seems that one of our dearest heroes may not be part of these future stories. The news, alas, suggests that there are currently no plans for “Invincible” himself to return following his 144-issue journey into the distant future, where he rules over a serene galaxy alongside his wife, Atom Eve, and their offspring.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that Kirkman himself has confirmed that Battle Beast will provide us an opportunity to explore new dimensions with the Invincible characters. This means we can expect some exciting changes and developments in the world of Invincible!

As I embark on my review of Battle Beast, I find myself eagerly anticipating potential collaborations between myself, Ryan Ottley, and perhaps even Cory Walker. From what I’ve gathered, these talented artists might revisit the Invincible universe every now and then, offering unique takes on our beloved characters.

The creator of the unconquerable series noted the “iconic battle sequences in Invincible” that continue to be debated, and Battle Beast offers an opportunity to “outdo these epic battles.

As a passionate cinephile, I can’t help but reminisce about the iconic historical battle sequences I sketched in Invincible, which continue to be a hot topic among fellow enthusiasts. The chance to collaborate again on Battle Beast is more than just an opportunity; it’s a challenge to surpass our previous work and create scenes that will echo through time.

He kept on emphasizing the abundance of “hidden treasures and character cameos,” even hinting at some significant revelations that play a substantial part in the storyline.

You’ll find an abundance of Easter eggs and character appearances, some unexpected, with significant roles. Initially, it’s a thrilling adventure for Battle Beast, but as we progress through the series, particularly beyond the first installments, elements from the Invincible Universe gradually become integrated.

In a playful manner, the author of Battle Beast hinted that the spin-off frequently switches genres across different issues since the main character traverses the universe and occasionally visits unanticipated locales.

One captivating aspect of the initial storyline is its dynamic genre transitions, moving from one genre to another within each issue. At first glance, it appears to be a science fiction tale, but as events unfold, it might evolve into a horror narrative, a fantasy epic, or any other genre. As Battle Beast journeys through space and visits various planets, there will always be a sci-fi backdrop, yet the story’s direction may change drastically from one scene to the next and even from issue to issue, creating a broad narrative that takes unanticipated turns.

In his statement, Kirkman mentioned that delving back into the world of Invincible for the Amazon Prime Video series stirred up feelings of nostalgia about working on the comic books. Consequently, he decided to create a fresh series featuring Battle Beast.

While I’ve been engrossed in producing the TV show, it often brings back fond memories of collaborating on the comics with Ryan. Battle Beast, being a character we both relish, seems to inspire stories filled with intricate actions that we found most appealing to work on together.

Will the Invincible TV Show Get New Spin-Offs Too?

The “Battle Beast” comic marks the first new series since “Invincible” concluded its main run in 2018, potentially signifying a fresh start. It’s not just a continuation of the story, but an ongoing series without a predetermined end, suggesting more adventures may be on the horizon. Moreover, creator Robert Kirkman seems open to exploring additional spin-offs featuring other characters.

With the continuation of tales in the comic book series Invincible, it’s intriguing to speculate whether these spin-offs might find their way onto Amazon Prime Video as standalone adaptations.

The entertainment company responsible for adapting “Invincible,” Skybound Entertainment, currently has a busy schedule due to its primary series. Fans have expressed disappointment over the intervals between releases, and with Kirkman planning to release new seasons more frequently, it might not be prudent to allocate resources towards a spin-off at this time.

If Skybound doesn’t undergo significant growth or the spin-off gets handed over to a different studio, fans probably won’t see an offshoot before Invincible is completed. However, Amazon has a history of surprising its dedicated audience, and given that Invincible has been well-received since its debut, it’s possible they might have something up their sleeve.

Besides the current animated show, Universal is working on a live-action Invincible movie. Last year, Robert Kirkman himself stated that this project is still being developed.
