Skybound reveals details for DUKE and COBRA COMMANDER Energon Universe series

Last month Skybound Entertainment revealed that they’d picked up the licenses to G.I. Joe and Transformers from Hasbro, to be launched as a part of the brand new Energon Universe of titles. The first of these titles, a Transformers series from author/artist Daniel Warren Johnson and colorist Mike Spicer, is about to launch in October, and artwork from that series has already been launched. Now Skybound has launched data and cowl artwork for a pair of G.I. Joe titles, Duke and Cobra Commander, scheduled to hit in December and January.

First, Duke, the four-issue miniseries from author Joshua Williamson, Tom Reilly, and Jordie Bellaire. Here’s how Skybound describes the series:

The Energon Universe expands in December with Duke #1, a restricted series from Joshua Williamson (DC’s Superman, Dark Ride), Tom Reilly (The Thing) and Jordie Bellaire (W0rldtr33), that tells the story you’ve by no means learn earlier than – the origins of G.I. Joe and Cobra in a world grappling with the arrival of the Autobots and Decepticons. When Conrad S. Hauser (codename DUKE) investigates the mysteries behind The Transformers, the solutions will result in the beginning of forces for good and evil that the world by no means imagined.

Williamson and Reilly are at present teaming for the two-issue Knight Terrors: Superman miniseries from DC, if you need a preview of what their collaboration seems to be like.

The different title, the four-issue Cobra Commander series, is written by Williamson and illustrated by Andrea Milana and Annalisa Leoni. Here’s Skybound’s description of that one:

In a world the place Cobra doesn’t exist, one man’s sinister plans to make the most of the mysterious alien substance generally known as Energon will ship shockwaves throughout the globe.

Along with the covers and descriptions, Skybound additionally revealed a brand new trailer for the general Energon Universe, with some new glimpses at Daniel Warren Johnson’s Transformers paintings included.

The Energon Universe is at present underway within the pages of Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici‘s Void Rivals. Look for Transformers #1 to reach from Skybound in October.
