The Invincible Universe Expands with Two New Compendium Collections!
| Tech Jacket and The Astounding Wolf-Man Collections Arrive November 2025 |
LOS ANGELES 06/30/2025 — Today Skybound and Image Comics announced two new compendium additions to the Invincible Universe, expanding the line of the best superhero comics in the universe with two fan-favorite characters, Tech Jacket and The Astounding Wolf-Man, in November 2025.
“It’s been a pleasant surprise seeing the interest in both of these series spiking after their appearances in season 3 of Invincible!” said Robert Kirkman. “Tech Jacket and Wolf-Man are key characters in the larger Invincible Universe and it’s awesome seeing them get a moment in the sun. It only made sense to release the series in the best format in comics! I love Compendiums!”
Tech Jacket Compendium collects Tech Jacket #1-8, Tech Jacket Digital #1-3, and Tech Jacket (2013) #1-12 in the iconic oversized format, featuring the origins of high school student Zack Thompson as the galaxy’s most unexpected hero. Created by Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead) and E.J. Su (Blood & Thunder) in 2002, the titular hero debuted in a critically acclaimed limited series and then soon joined the pages of Invincible. He then returned in new adventures from Joe Keatinge (Shutter) and Khary Randolph (Excellence) that took Tech Jacket to new heights! This collection features an all-new cover by E.J. Su & Dave McCaig.
“It’s crazy to look back on these books 20-some years later,” said E.J. Su. “Not only that it was my first book at one of the major publishers, but also it was the first time that I got to apply a lot of my childhood inspirations such as Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Gundam and Space Sheriff, just to name a few, to create a character of my own. Then to see what Khary Randolph and Joe Keatinge did later with the character, and to see how far the character has come along from the date of his creation. It has been an incredible journey.”
Then, The Astounding Wolf-Man Compendium collects The Astounding Wolf-Man #1-25 and Invincible #57 from co-creators Robert Kirkman and Jason Howard (Super Dinosaur). When Gary Hampton is mauled and left for dead, his life takes a drastic turn as the Astounding Wolf-Man! Created in 2007, this volume features Wolf-Man facing threats from across the world, encountering new allies like Invincible, and new foes he never expected!
“The Astounding Wolf-Man Compendium might just be the cure to the world’s problems,” said Jason Howard. “Or maybe it’s only an opportunity to get this seminal series all in one place, either way I’m excited to see it! Wolf-Man was a project that Robert and I put our all into and I can’t wait for people to discover (or rediscover) all the action, heart and crazy twists in store for them in this comic!”
Created by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker, Invincible #1 debuted to critical acclaim on January 22, 2003. Ryan Ottley joined soon after on issue #8 in late 2003 as the new series artist and contributing creator. Throughout its fifteen-year run at Image Comics, Invincible not only continued for a historic 146 issues, but also spawned multiple spin-off series and even an inter-company crossover with a certain friendly neighborhood superhero. In 2021, Invincible arrived as a television series and took on a new life with fans globally, streaming exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories. The critically acclaimed adult animated series co-produced by Skybound Animation and Amazon MGM Studios recently wrapped its third season, each of which has been “Certified Fresh” by Rotten Tomatoes, with the second and third seasons earning perfect 100% ratings. With a fourth season on the way and constant new activity for the property across entertainment, Invincible remains a cornerstone of the pop culture landscape that continues to grow in popularity every year.
These two new compendiums are perfect for fans looking to discover every corner of the Invincible Universe as in the hit Prime Video series, which continues to shatter records worldwide.
