Now that it's being discovered by an infinitely larger audience it's really great to see it live on in so many different forms. It's so gratifying to know that people will be falling in love with Invincible for years to come."

"I'm not one to usually get excited, but 2023 is going to be the biggest year for Invincible yet, with so many crazy and unexpected things on the way!" said Cory Walker. "I'd say Invincible fans should get ready but there's really nothing you can do to prepare for all that awesome that's coming."

"Invincible is turning 20?! Happy Birthday, Markus Sebastian Grayson!" said Ryan Ottley. "I'm so happy to see so many new viewers and readers jump in and experience our series for the first time, and I can't wait for everyone to see what's next!"

"There are few comic books I love more than Invincible, and I'll always remember Robert walking into my office, telling me that the series was ending," said Sean Mackiewicz, SVP/Publisher, Skybound Entertainment. "Now, all these years later, the Invincible fanbase is stronger than ever, and we're celebrating this anniversary across every division of Skybound to ensure that fans can experience the thrill of Mark, Nolan, Eve, and the whole Invincible Universe in ways they never imagined. Is this where I say my favorite character is Battle Beast?"
