Grade: NM (Near Mint)
Cover: Pristine with high original gloss and deep, saturated inks. Todd McFarlaneās signature "ink-heavy" style is perfectly preserved with zero surface scuffing or color-rub.
Spine: Perfectly tight, flat, and square. No color-breaking stress marks, "ticks," or corner blunting.
Interior: Bright white, crisp, and unread. The interior art by Ryan Ottleyāreturning to the character he helped defineāis flawlessly preserved.
Overall: A true "Investment Grade" specimen. Archived in a bag and board immediately upon release, this is an ideal candidate for professional grading (CGC/CBCS).
INVINCIBLE SEASON 4 IS BREAKING THE INTERNET! With the new season currently streaming to a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, the hype for Battle Beastās role in the upcoming "Viltrumite War" has never been higher.
The McFarlane Factor: Todd McFarlane variants are among the most liquid and sought-after collectibles in the industry. Seeing him apply his legendary style to a character as brutal as Battle Beast makes this an instant classic.
The "Conquest" Connection: This issue kicks off the pivotal story arc detailing Battle Beast's journey toward his inevitable clash with the Viltrumite Empire. With Grand Regent Thragg (Lee Pace) and Conquest appearing in Season 4, this is a major "must-have" story key.
Ryan Ottley Interior Art: Having the definitive Invincible artist on interiors while the King of Image provides the cover creates a "Dream Team" collectible that is a cornerstone of the 2026 Invincible Month.
Dual-Icon Power: This book sits at the intersection of the Spawn and Invincible fanbases, ensuring long-term demand and significant cross-market appeal.
