Hasbro, Skybound and Image Comics have been publishing Transformers, GI Joe and Void Rivals comics in a shared Energon Universe continuity for a couple of years now. And there have definitely been crossovers along the way, though they have been played rather light. That looks like it is about to change pretty much with G.I. Joe #9 published today and the Free Comic Book Day title for Saturday, the 3rd of May. And it all kicks off with the ending to today's G.I. Joe #6 by Joshua Williamson, Tom Reilly and Jordie Bellaire.
Firstly, this is how the FCBD title was initially solicited with this classified cover.
This is how it actually is, with Hound and Clutch. And these are the final pages of GI Joe #6
