The “Wheel of Awesome”
The news comes just weeks after announcing several major licensing deals for two of Skybound’s tentpole IPs The Walking Dead and Invincible and is an indication of Skybound’s ability transform its IP from a TV show, video game, tabletop game, collectible, podcast, or all of the above, into exciting, must-have entertainment.
