INVINCIBLE'S NEW HERO TAKES FLIGHT
INVINCIBLE #89 sells out, gets second printing

In INVINCIBLE #89, creator Robert Kirkman changed everything, and fans responded — after hitting stores on February 29, the issue has sold out, prompting a second printing (JAN128085) that will be in stores on March 28, the same day as INVINCIBLE #90.

With Mark Grayson fighting the deadly Scourge virus in an alien hospital, a new hero dons the Invincible costume, INVINCIBLE #89 has led long-time readers to speculate what direction the story will take and provided new or lapsed readers with a jumping-on point.

INVINCIBLE #89 is a full-color comic book for $2.99, written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Ryan Ottley. The ongoing monthly series is available in comic book stores and on multiple digital platforms.
