Transformers is an ongoing comic comic book series from Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, that debuted in 2023. The series is the first Transformers title released under Skybound, following previous publisher IDW Publishing's loss of the license in 2022, and is part of the Energon Universe, sharing continuity with Skybound's Void Rivals and G.I. Joe comics. Bleeding Cool broke the news that IDW Publishing was to lose the Transformers and then the GI Joe comic book rights back in November 2021 at San Diego Comic-Con Special Edition 2021, and we soon learned that Robert Kirkman's publisher Skybound would acquire the rights. It all went official when details of Void Rivals #1 leaked on Bleeding Cool, and the series by Daniel Warren Johnson has continued to break Eisners and win the Transformers franchise its first Eisner Awards in the process. And with GI Joe #1 about to launch, it shows little sign of stopping. Consider this cover a little thank you present from Skybound.
