The Energon Universe
Of course, Void Rivals is only the beginning!
Void Rivals marks the start of a cohesive comics universe called The Energon Universe.
Void Rivals will share the Energon Universe with Transformers and GI Joe. This means brand new comics with a brand new storyline will be starting soon. And details are just starting to arrive!
Do You Have to Read Everything?
No. While all of the Energon Universe comics will exist in the same universe and feature characters and events related to the other books, the stories will stand alone. Read one title, or read them all, it’s up to you.
So, what will they be?
Transformers
Yep, Daniel Warren Johnson (Do A Power Bomb, Wonder Woman Dead Earth, Beta Ray Bill, Murder Falcon) is in charge of the brand new Transformers comic starting in October! We expect more details soon!
GI Joe
G.I. JOE joins the Energon Universe with DUKE and COBRA COMMANDER #1! New Transformers and G.I. Joe series coming from SKYBOUND!
