Don’t call it a comeback! Today Skybound and Image Comics unveiled a new lineup of covers for the long out-of-print and very much in-demand comic book series Capes. Over 20 years since its debut, Capes returns with a special remastering, featuring new art and dialogue from the original creative team of Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead, TRANSFORMERS) and Mark Englert (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hack/Slash). Find all the new covers when Capes #1 flies back into comic shops on November 19th, 2025!
Reprinted for the first time since its release, fans and collectors will not want to miss the new monthly releases of Capes. This series is perfect for fans looking to discover every inch of the Invincible Universe as seen in the hit Skybound and Prime Video series, which continues to shatter records worldwide.
“Okay, first of all, Capes is a riot and features some of the best characters in the Invincible Universe,” said Senior Editor Nachie Marsham. “But, as you’ll see in the books, it’s also a cool way to showcase Kirkman and Englert’s storytelling and ideas over the years, and a chance to see what’s coming in the future.”
