Comics: The Magazine #2

The comic magazine you demanded keeps raging — with the most brutal comic of 2026: Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley's BATTLE BEAST!

Straight from the Invincible universe comes one of the wildest books of the 2020s. We speak with the entire creative team about how it came to be, what it takes to make it, and where it goes next.

Is there more? You bet! After the last issue, the entire comic community stood up and applauded: insights into some of the industry's biggest titles, previews of upcoming books, and — holy moly — the return of John Layman and Rob Guillory's CHEW with brand-new stories! (Some creatives even declared war over their placements in the Pullbox Power Rankings — the battle still rages.) All this and more in every single issue of Comics: The Magazine — the "Let's enthusiastically discuss comics" revolution has only just begun!
