Pixowl has teamed up with The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman to incorporate his Invincible series superheroes into The Sandbox.

The new version of The Sandbox, a pixellated free-form creativity app on iOS, is available today. It has characters from the world of Invincible, the comic book series created by Kirkman, Corey Walker, and Ryan Ottley. The move is yet another attempt to bring a popular brand into a mobile game in order to help it stand out from the pack of a million other apps on the App Store. With well-known characters, even pixellated ones, Pixowl hopes to draw more attention for The Sandbox.
