Skybound Entertainment has announced its plans for San Diego Comic-Con with Invincible, a newly announced fighting game Invincible VS, Invincible Universe: Battle Beast, the Energon Universe and Robert Kirkman and David Finch's series Skinbreaker, and The Walking Dead. Bleeding Cool previously ran the gossip of a new Transformers/GI Joe/Void Rivals Energon Universe animated series, but I understand it won't be announced at SDCC 2025. We do, however, get these panels:
