Press Release

Invincible, the best-selling, critically acclaimed Image Comics series by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley comes to Newsarama!

Newsarama.com, Hiddenrobot.com and comic creators Kirkman, Walker and Ottley are pleased to announce that the first volume of Invincible will be reprinted in its entirety as a free daily serial strip on Newsarama.com.

Invincible Daily debuts Monday, December 3, 2007.

Starting with page 1, each weekday a new Invincible Daily page will appear at http://hiddenrobot.com/IDAILY/,
and then stored in an easily accessible archive so fans can read the
released pages as often as they like, or so new fans can start at the
beginning of “probably the best superhero comic book in the universe”
at any time.

A decidedly fresh take on the superhero genre, Invincible
is the story of Mark Grayson, a typical teen who discovers he has
astounding super powers gained through his otherworldly lineage. How
will Mark come to cope with his developing powers while juggling all
the standard demands of young adulthood?

“‘Invincible’ is about Mark Grayson and what it’s like to grow up as
the son of the most powerful superhero on the planet,” explains series
co-creator and writer Robert Kirkman. “We’re right with Mark from the
beginning, from the day he discovers his new powers to the first time
he fights a super-villain. I like to think of it as a practical
exploration of the super-hero genre. I’m trying to show how mundane the
fantastic can be if that’s all you experience all the time.”

Invincible has garnered considerable praise since it launched in 2003 and legions of readers since.

In bringing the series to Newsarama, Hiddenrobot founder Tim Daniel
came late to the party but now refuses to leave and would like more
readers to join in, “I’ll admit, I was a skeptic. It’s almost like I
purposely went out of my way to ignore this book because I thought it
was just another superhero title cluttering the shelves, but I kept
hearing about the title everywhere, and finally around issue #39 I
picked it up. That’s pretty late right? Well, the pace, action, and
characterization instantly surprised me. I returned to the store and
bought every issue they had left and then when I was done with those I
came to my senses and started with the first trade ‘Family Matters’.
Soon thereafter, I started to pursue Robert with the idea that other
readers could discover Invincible in a no risk, no cost opportunity through Newsarama. Grounded, Kabuki and Powers
have been such a success in terms of readership and subsequent trade
sales, it was only natural to think that an engaging title like Invincible could really appeal to Newsarama’s vast readership.”

There are those who will look at Invincible and think it’s
just another superhero series, and to those people, Kirkman has some
encouraging words. “Take a minute and read the online daily. It’s not
what you think, there’s much more to this comic. Retailers and fans
alike all seem to enjoy it, I recommend giving it a shot. It’s a
different kind of superhero comic, it’s really like nothing else on the
shelves.”

The daily presentation of Invincible will encompass the
first three collections in the series, “Family Matters”, “Eight Is
Enough” and “Perfect Strangers”, or the same number of collections that
comprise the Ultimate Collection Hardcover Vol.1. Once concluded, Invincible will remain available in archive format similar to those volumes of Kabuki and Popwers now available through Newsarama giving new readers a chance to discover Mark Grayson’s earliest adventures.

The entire series is available at comic book shops and bookstores, and
for order through online retailers in various forms including eight
trade paperback collections, three Ultimate Collection Hardcovers and the Complete Invincible Library Vol. 1.

And there’s even more, explains Daniel, “Thanks to Robert having a
moment to clear his schedule and give the go ahead, we’re excited to
get underway with Invincible Daily. New readers and longtime fans will also be able to delve even deeper into the world of Invincible
because on the same day HiddenRobot in conjunction with web developer
Steven Cambria are set to introduce a new site dedicated exclusively to
the world of Invincible. We really hope fans of the book will
have a place where they can gather and explore further this excellent
book.” The new site will be made available through the daily
presentation.
