Claim a Rare Collectible: Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #1 – First Print, Blank Sketch Cover I, Signed by Ryan Ottley
Dive into the electrifying Invincible Universe with Battle Beast #1 (First Print, Cover I, Blank Sketch Variant, Signed by Ryan Ottley, Image Comics). Released May 14, 2025, this series premiere by Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley unleashes Battle Beast’s first solo adventure, a fan-favorite from Invincible. The blank sketch cover, signed by Ottley, offers a unique canvas for collectors and investors, blending rarity with personal flair.
Key Appearances: This issue launches Battle Beast’s solo series, exploring his violent quest between Invincible #19 (his debut) and #55. It unveils his untold story, ideal for fans and new readers. The blind bag program adds excitement, potentially including reprints like Invincible #19 or Marvel Team-Up #14 (Invincible and Spider-Man crossover), enhancing its collectible value.
Current Value: With nearly 400,000 copies sold, Battle Beast #1 set a record for creator-owned comics, selling out at distributors. The Cover I Blank Sketch Variant, signed by Ottley, is valued at $130–$160 in NM condition on platforms like eBay, driven by its versatility for custom sketches and Ottley’s signature. Limited supply and high demand boost its market price.
Expected Value and Trends: The Invincible franchise is surging, fueled by the Prime Video series’ third season (2025) and Battle Beast’s rising popularity. The blind bag program and second printing (June 11, 2025) keep the market vibrant, while events like potential FanExpo Dallas exclusives could drive demand for signed variants. Invincible key issues historically appreciate 20–30% annually, with signed sketch covers projected to reach $180–$220 by 2026. Long-term, CGC-graded copies could hit $200–$400 by 2030, especially if Battle Beast’s arc is adapted. The blank cover’s customization potential and Ottley’s signature make it a top investment.
Investment Opportunity: This signed Blank Sketch Cover I is a collector’s dream, offering a unique platform for custom art and strong market potential. Battle Beast’s cult status, Skybound’s innovative marketing, and Ottley’s signature ensure sustained value growth. Secure this rare variant now to own a piece of Invincible history.
