The Creative Teams For New Transformers & GI Joe Comics, Revealed

Bleeding Cool scooped the news on Friday that Image Comics & Skybound Entertainment had the Transformers and GI Joe licenses from Hasbro.

Bleeding Cool scooped the news on Friday that Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment had the Transformers and GI Joe comic book licenses from Hasbro. And that they would be first appearing in Void Rivals #1 out tomorrow. We then confirmed that  Transformers #1 would be out in October, to be part of what Image Comics, Skybound and Robert Kirkman are calling The Energon Universe that will include GI Joe in months to come. And that means for GI Joe fans, we confirmed that would include Duke #1 in December and Cobra Commander #1 in January. And now we know who will be writing and drawing both.

Because, although Void Rivals #1, which will be kicking off this Transformers/GI Joe shared universe storytelling thing is published in comic book stores on Wednesday the 14th of June, the comic is available for purchase digitally on Kindle now, or certainly in the UK at least. And that reveals the creators of all three upcoming Transformers and GI Joe comic books.

Transformers and GI Joe creative teams from Image Comics

• Transformers #1 out in October will be written and drawn by Daniel Warren Johnson, the massive Transformers fan also behind Extremity, Murder Falcon and Do A Powerbomb.
• Duke #1 out in December will be written by Joshua Williamson, DC Comics' current big writing cheese begins Infinite Frontier, Dark Crisis, Knight Terrors, Flash Rebirth, Superman and Green Lantern, and Nailbiter and Birthright from Skybound. And drawn by Tom Reilly, of both Ant-Man and Wasp, Astro Hustle, and The Thing.
• Cobra Commander #1 will be written by Joshua Williamson and drawn by Andrea Milana, and will launch in January 2024.

And Void Rivals #1 by Robert Kirkman will be continuing, drawn by Lorenzo De Felici and coloured by Matheus Lopes.
