  Issue twelve is completely mind blowing! Two titans collide in this “mid-season finale.” Blood, guts and absolute devastation are what make this work of art so entertaining! This issue is “all gas, no brakes!” Battle Beast fans have to pick this issue up to get an idea of how issue thirteen will return come next year. Read Full Review

  After three issues of epic fighting, the fisticuffs (pawicuffs?) between Battle Beast and Conquest comes to an end. Of course, the ending was bound to be a bit of a letdown, but the fight itself is still worth the chance of a letdown. Read Full Review

  How will this story arc end? Great question. It feels like calling it a draw might be the only solution but after Conquest, who could pose a legitimate threat to Battle Beast? Read Full Review

  Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #12 wraps up its latest story arc in gloriously gory fashion, as Battle Beast and Conquest's duel reaches its zenith. The series is going on another hiatus, but when it comes back, it'll coincide with Invincible season 5 – and I'm sure Kirkman and Ottley will have more surprises in store. Read Full Review

  If you thought the previous chapters of the Battle Beast vs Conquest was brutal they all do not hold a candle to what we see in Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #12. To say that the continued fight between the two is brutal would be an understatement. Read Full Review

  Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #12 is a brutal, fast-moving, and wildly entertaining issue that knows exactly what it wants to deliver. The story is simple, but the intensity of the fight, the savage artwork, and the nonstop escalation make it a thrilling read from start to finish. If you want blood-soaked action and two unstoppable warriors pushing each other past the limit, this issue more than earns your attention. This series may not be for the faint of heart, but if that isn’t you grab a copy at the LCS this week and enjoy the carnage! Read Full Review

  Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #12 enters round 3 in the fight between Battle Beast and Conquest. Robert Kirkmandelivers exactly what you expect in a series about a fight to the death, but getting what you expect leaves no room for surprise, change, or growth. If not for Ryan Ottley’s kinetic art, issue #12 would be nearly identical to every other issue in the series. Read Full Review
