At his “Robert Kirkman LIVE at SDCC” panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC), visionary creator Robert Kirkman announced the return of the long out-of-print and very much in-demand comic book series Capes from Skybound and Image Comics. Representing his and co-creator/artist Mark Englert’s corner of the Invincible Universe, Capes will return to comic book shops beginning on November 19, 2025 as a special remastering featuring new art and dialogue from the original creative team.
Reprinted for the first time since its release over 20 years ago, fans and collectors will not want to miss the new monthly releases of Capes. This series is perfect for fans looking to discover every corner of the Invincible Universe as seen in the hit Skybound and Prime Video series, which continues to shatter records worldwide.
Then, in a thrilling second announcement, Kirkman revealed that all-new Capes stories will be coming from another longtime friend of the Invincible Universe, writer Benito Cereno, alongside artist Mark Englert. Beginning in 2026 with issue #7, this revival of Capes promises to take fans even deeper into unexplored areas of the Invincible Universe.
