Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #8 – Cover G: Ryan Ottley I Hate Fairyland Team-Up Variant
What happens when the most ferocious warrior in the Invincible Universe crashes into the most chaotic corner of Image Comics? You get Cover G. Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #8 delivers one of the most unexpected and delightful crossover variants of the year — a I Hate Fairyland Team-Up Variant by the legendary Ryan Ottley, blending Battle Beast’s raw, unstoppable power with the anarchic, candy-colored madness of Skottie Young’s beloved series. The result is a cover that is equal parts epic and absurd — and absolutely impossible to put down.
Whether you’re a Battle Beast devotee, an I Hate Fairyland completist, or a Ryan Ottley collector who grabs everything he touches, Cover G is the variant that brings two of Image Comics’ most beloved worlds together in the most gloriously unhinged way possible.
