Cursed with an unquenchable thirst for violence, Battle Beast searches the universe for the one warrior mightier than him — and a glorious death, his only reward. But even in a universe of mighty Viltrumites like Invincible and Omni-Man, it seems no one may be able to stop the galaxy's deadliest warrior... unless he does the unthinkable. Kirkman and Ottley present the most demanded Invincible story of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Printing Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattle Beast #1 has sold through eight consecutive printings, an unusually high number that reflects how strongly this launch caught on with both longtime Invincible fans and new readers. Each printing carries its own guest cover artist, making this 9th Printing a distinct, lower-print-run collectible from Tan Eng Huat rather than a simple reprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to have read Invincible first?\u003c\/strong\u003e No — this is billed as accessible to new readers, with no spoilers for the main Invincible series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same story as the 1st printing?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, identical interior content — only the cover art changes between printings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Image Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43850492411994,"sku":"0726IM8297","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/3359\/4458\/files\/large-1646374.jpg?v=1786803434","url":"https:\/\/epic-panels-comics.com\/products\/invincible-universe-battle-beast-1-9th-printing-tan-eng-huat-cover","provider":"Epic Panels Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
