IN STORES 03/11/2026!!
INVINCIBLE MONTH is crashing in this March, and we’re celebrating with something truly special: a new Invincible #1 Foil Edition reprint and a limited, store-exclusive variant you won’t find anywhere else. This is more than a reprint, it’s a tribute to one of the most important superhero series of the 21st century and a perfect way to ride the hype into Season 4 of the hit animated series on Prime Video.
When Invincible first debuted in January 2003, it felt like a jolt of electricity to superhero comics. Created by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker, the series followed Mark Grayson, a seemingly ordinary teenager whose father just happens to be the world’s greatest hero, Omni-Man. What started as a familiar coming-of-age superhero story quickly evolved into something far more intense, emotional, and unpredictable. Over its 144-issue run, Invincible built a reputation for shocking twists, brutal battles, and heartfelt character moments that stuck with readers long after they closed the book.
That combination of big, cosmic superhero spectacle and raw, grounded storytelling is exactly why Invincible earned the tagline “the Best Superhero Comic in the Universe.” Fans watched Mark grow from unsure rookie hero into a fully realized champion, dealing with the weight of legacy, family, and responsibility in ways that felt both wild and deeply human. As the comic gained momentum, it quietly became one of the most successful new superhero franchises of the century—cult-favorite at first, then breakout phenomenon as word of mouth spread.
The success didn’t stop on the page. When the Invincible animated series launched on Prime Video, it pulled in a whole new audience who had never read the comics but instantly connected with Mark, Omni-Man, Atom Eve, and the rest of the cast. Season after season, the show has turned key storylines from the comic into appointment viewing, with fans reacting in real time to the same jaw-dropping moments longtime readers experienced years ago. Now, with Season 4 on the way, interest in the series is at an all-time high, and both new viewers and veteran readers are hungry to go back to where it all began.
That’s where the new Invincible #1 Foil Edition reprint comes in. This special release brings back the groundbreaking first issue in a premium foil package, spotlighting the historic first appearances of Invincible, Omni-Man, and more. It’s the ideal entry point for fans who discovered the franchise through the show and want to dive into the source material, and it’s a beautiful upgrade for collectors who have loved this series since the early days. Having a fresh, prestige version of issue #1 on the shelf right as the show ramps up again couldn’t be better timed.
But at Countdown Comics, we wanted to push things even further for INVINCIBLE MONTH. We’re thrilled to announce a joint, limited Invincible #1 exclusive variant in collaboration with acclaimed cover artist David Mack and another awesome shop, Darklord Collections. This exclusive features a striking David Mack cover that brings his signature painterly, almost ethereal style to the Invincible universe, turning the debut issue into a true centerpiece for any collection. It’s the kind of cover that feels like a gallery piece and a key comic all at once.
This Invincible #1 David Mack exclusive is limited and exclusive only to Countdown Comics and Darklord Collectibles. It will not be available through any other shops, major retailers, or mass-market channels. If you want this cover, there are only two places in the world to get it…. Through Countdown or through Darklord. That level of exclusivity, combined with the importance of Invincible #1 and the heat around the franchise, makes this variant a prime candidate to become one of the standout collectibles of INVINCIBLE MONTH.
Even better, this exclusive will pre-release today through our online store and in-shop, giving our local and online community first priority. If you’re an Invincible fan, a David Mack collector, or a variant hunter always chasing the next big key, this is your chance to lock in a copy before everyone else starts talking about it. We strongly recommend preordering or adding it to your pull right away, once our allocation is gone, it’s gone.
For convention-goers, we’ve got one more bit of good news: the Countdown Comics x Darklord Collectibles x David Mack Invincible #1 exclusive will also be available at WonderCon. If you’re attending, you’ll be able to pick it up in person as part of your con haul and maybe even pair it with signatures or sketches to make it an even more unique centerpiece. It’s the perfect showpiece book to commemorate INVINCIBLE MONTH and the ongoing success of one of modern comics’ most beloved superhero sagas.
From its early days as a sleeper Image title to its current status as a multimedia powerhouse, Invincible has earned its place as a modern classic. This March, with the foil reprint, the new season of the show, and our limited David Mack exclusive, there’s never been a better time to jump in, catch up, or upgrade your collection.
