Robert Kirkman is having a little fun with his new issue of Invincible, which sees the return of pencils from Cory Walker.

Kirkman took to Twitter to share the issue's cover and news of illustrator Cory Walker's return. If the cover style looks a bit familiar, that's because it's a jab at the recent Civil War marketing Marvel Comics has been doing. The tag line reads, "Choose Something New," as opposed to the, "Choose A Side," slogan Marvel has used with its readers.

This isn't the first time Kirkman's comics have made jabs at Marvel Comics. In 2010, he launched a campaign that mocked an Avengers campaign with his miniseries Guardians of the Globe, Invincible being one.

Invincible is very much a jab at the super hero genre as a whole, as it follows Mark Grayson and his unconventional tactics that mock those of the traditional comic book super hero. The comic has also made cameos on Robert Kirkman's AMC series, The Walking Dead, several times.

Invincible #127 is available April 20.
