Skybound and Image Comics are expanding their Invincible Universe offerings with two new compendium volumes. The books will star fan favorite characters Tech Jacket and the Astounding Wolf-Man, and are scheduled for release in November 2025.

“It’s been a pleasant surprise seeing the interest in both of these series spiking after their appearances in season three of Invincible!” series creator Robert Kirkman said. “Tech Jacket and Wolf-Man are key characters in the larger Invincible Universe and it’s awesome seeing them get a moment in the sun. It only made sense to release the series in the best format in comics! I love compendiums!”

The Tech Jacket Compendium presents the origin story of Zack Thompson, the high school student and surprising hero of the galaxy. Zack was created by Kirkman and E.J. Su (Blood & Thunder) in a limited series, then starred in adventures by Joe Keatinge (Shutter) and Khary Randolph (Excellence). The compendium includes Tech Jacket #1-8, Tech Jacket Digital #1-3, and Tech Jacket (2013) #1-12 with a new cover by Su and Dave McCaig.

The Astounding Wolf-Man Compendium follows Gary Hampton after he turns into the Wolf-Man to stop threats around the world, find allies like Invincible, and stop a host of foes. The book collects The Astounding Wolf-Man #1-25 and Invincible #57 from co-creators Kirkman and Jason Howard (Super Dinosaur). The compendium features a cover by Howard.

“It’s crazy to look back on these books 20-some years later,” Su said. “Not only that it was my first book at one of the major publishers, but also it was the first time that I got to apply a lot of my childhood inspirations such as Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Gundam, and Space Sheriff, just to name a few, to create a character of my own. Then to see what Khary Randolph and Joe Keatinge did later with the character, and to see how far the character has come along from the date of his creation. It has been an incredible journey.”

The Astounding Wolf-Man Compendium might just be the cure to the world’s problems,” Howard said. “Or maybe it’s only an opportunity to get this seminal series all in one place, either way I’m excited to see it! Wolf-Man was a project that Robert and I put our all into and I can’t wait for people to discover (or rediscover) all the action, heart and crazy twists in store for them in this comic!”

Tech Jacket Compendium and The Astounding Wolf-Man Compendium will be in comic shops on November 19.
