Some cool news from over at Image — the comics company announced that Cory Walker, co-creator of Invincible, would be returning to the title to draw a two-issue arc!
Here’s a brief statement from Image’s web site:
“While Cory has been working behind the scenes in the INVINCIBLE crew, it’s great to have him back for these two very special issues,” INVINCIBLE co-creator and writer Robert Kirkman said. “They’re going to be pretty damn momentous in the grand scheme of INVINCIBLE as we place the spotlight on INVINCIBLE’s dad, Nolan, and his new partner, Allen the Alien, while they seek the only weapons capable of taking down the Viltrumite empire. It’s gonna be awesome!”
Walker was the original artist for the series, as well as co-creator for the character. However, he soon stepped aside as Ryan Ottley assumed art duties beginning with issue #8. Walker will be back starting with issue #66, due out in September.
The series chronicles the increasing turmoil in the life of superhuman Mark Grayson — aka Invincible — as he struggles to make the world safe. Yet with his now-estranged father — the former hero Omni-Man — a member of the deadly Viltrumites, it looks as though an invasion may be brewing…
