Invincible Universe Battle Beast #1 Cover Art by JonBoy Meyers

The issue follows the start of this brutal journey, providing glimpses into his origin story. It is revealed that he became the savior of his homeworld due to his immense strength but was forced to abandon it to save his loved ones from his own destructive bloodlust. The story emphasizes that he is an intelligent warrior with a strict code of honor, not merely a mindless brute. 

The premiere issue sets the stage for his quest, which ultimately leads him across the cosmos and eventually to his imprisonment on a Viltrumite prison ship alongside Nolan (Omni-Man) and Allen the Alien, as seen in the main Invincible series continuity. The comic delivers exactly what fans expect: ferocious combat as Battle Beast rampages through the universe seeking his ultimate, and possibly final, challenge.
