Created by Kirkman and Cory Walker in 2003, with Walker replaced by Ryan Ottley starting with Invincible #8, the Image Comics/Skybound Entertainment series ran for 144 issues concluding this past February. The series followed a fledging superhero as he progressed from teen hero to Earth's greatest defender as the planet faced a devastating alien invasion.
