Joe and Void Rivals – has been exploding with collectors, from the SDCC unique drops that ultimately handed $1200 and the newer NYCC exclusives from Duke to the record-breaking orders for Transformers #1.

The subsequent large spoiler variant from the Energon Universe will probably be Transformers #2 Cover E by Tom Reilly will function the primary cowl look of legendary G.I. Joe character Duke (aside from the promotional ashcan), as revealed by Skybound at NYCC. It is sensible for Reilly to be the artist, as he and Joshua Williamson are launching a Duke sequence in December that formally brings features of G.I Joe and Cobra into the Energon Universe.
