What Comes Next For Hasbro's Void Rivals? #2 Digs Into Back Story
Void Rivals #1 by Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici was published by Image Comics/Skybound - but owned by Hasbro - last week.
Void Rivals #1 by Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici was published by Image Comics/Skybound – but owned by Hasbro – last week, kicking off The Energon Universe, a new shared universe continuity, that included Transformers and GI Joe. But, as we saw, also an intergalactic story regarding two races at eternal war with each other, eternally divided but utterly the same, a reworking of the Lilliputians and the Brobdingnagans of Gulliver's Travels.
And the two members of the two species, Darak and Solila, abandoned and alone on a planet (aside from a departing Transformer) have discovered that they are exactly the same and "to deliver the truth back home, they must first get off this deadly planet—by any means necessary.". And in subsequent issues. Void Rivals "promises to take readers further into this all-new world, with more familiar faces to appear." Here's a look ahead as the second issue hits FOC, timed to be published alongside the second print of the first issue.
Void Rivals #2 will be published on the 19th of July.
