Marvel Comics · Marvel Team-Up #14 · 2005 · $2.99 · 32 pages
Grade: FN/VF 7.0
Cover by Cory Walker.
Robert Kirkman writes and Cory Walker pencils a crossover that shouldn't exist on paper: Invincible — Mark Grayson, the teenage Image Comics superhero Kirkman created and Walker co-designed — lands in the Marvel Universe and runs into Spider-Man. Two wise-cracking teenage superheroes, one very confused Marvel New York. Kirkman was deep into his Image work at the time and brought Invincible across with him, a genuinely unusual situation where the creator of a character at one publisher wrote that same character into a book at another. Walker, who launched Invincible at Image before Ryan Ottley took the series over with issue #8, handles pencils here — so the character is drawn by his original co-creator.
This volume of Marvel Team-Up (2004–2006) was Kirkman's primary work-for-hire gig at Marvel during his early breakout years, and this issue sits at the center of it — cross-company character access brokered entirely by creator ownership. Invincible appearing in a Marvel book was Kirkman's call to make, and he made it.
