Skybound G.I. Joe and Transformers Shared Universe Comics Poster

under G.I. Joe Comics

Thanks to faceboook user Jon Robert for posting up a new G.I. Joe and Transformers Shared Universe Comics Poster. There are a few details in here that are of note.

Duke #1 on sale December 2023
Cobra Commander #1 on sale January 2024
Transformers #1 on sale October 2023

It looks like the new Universe is called “The Energon Universe” and will indeed combine both brands. How deep that goes is yet to be seen. Stay tuned for further details as they become available.

    Interesting. Didn't Hama say DDP (which started with Image) isn't canon?

    Yes. DDP/Image picked up after 155 from Marvel, and then Boom let Hma pick it back up from there again.

    To clarify, think Halloween movies;Hama overwrote the earlier sequel with his Boom series.

    Everything is non-canon until it isn't - and vice versa. If this is a new story, disconnected from the OG Marvel run, then it really doesn't matter what is canon and what isn't.

    Besides, we're living in a world of cinematic multiverses... Maybe this is just Joe-Earth 616

    I thought I'd read on another thread that LH referred to writing #304.

    I was taking the scenic route on non/canon to say it'll be interesting to see if Image re-releases some of the "other" Joe issues or gets to re-release the original Marvel run as IDW did. It'd be nice to fill in the gaps in my collection without paying absurd amounts of money for it.

    ahh, interesting.

    well I for one was pretty happy with IDW... the Hama stuff was fun. some of the Joe stuff was brilliant (like COBRA), other was lame and I bought it just for the covers, others were 'meh'. The Tom Scioli GI Joe Transformers was my Official Favorite Thing Ever. And the Transformers titles were wonderful until they rebooted for the last time, then got boring.

    i dont know if Im in the market to restart again! But, will give it a whirl. Kirkman is pretty hit-or-miss for me.

    I've been checking for evidence of Image getting the license occasionally and haven't seen any (yet). I probably shouldn't share my credentials/source though I guess if anyone did enough detective work, the information is out there. Ha.

    Makes sense: there was never really another publisher rumored to be interested in the licenses, and Robert Kirkman likes doing big surprises. I assume there'll be an official announcement on Thursday with more details on Skybound's publishing plans.

    Yeah. That's why the TPB's that collected the Devil's Due material were given the label "Disavowed".
