Ending of the main Invincible comic: Robert Kirkman and artist Ryan Ottley announced that the long-running Invincible comic will conclude with issue 144, wrapping up the “The End of All Things” arc. The finale is planned after issue 133, with the series concluding in early 2025 to tie up the universe, though readers still have more issues to go in 2024 and 2025 as the run approaches its end [source coverage indicates the final issue planned for 144 and the arc beginning with issue 133 in November 2024, leading to a scheduled 2025 conclusion].

New Invincible Universe spin-off: A newer Invincible spin-off focusing on Battle Beast was announced, titled Invincible Universe: Battle Beast. This mini-series/one-shot style project is part of continuing Invincible-related storytelling in comics, positioned to release after or around the third season of the animated series on Prime Video. The project marks Kirkman and Ottley’s return to the Invincible universe in the comics after a lull since the mainline book’s ongoing run ended.

Animation context: The Invincible property continues to expand on screen with Season 3 of the Prime Video series, which has generated renewed interest in the broader Invincible universe. The animated series’ trajectory is often discussed alongside comic developments, as the two media narratives interweave and influence fan engagement.

Background and legacy: Invincible began in 2003 and ran through 2018 for 144 issues, cementing its place as a major independent superhero title with multiple spin-offs and a lasting fanbase. This history provides important context for the new comics and forthcoming adaptations.
