Transformers VS G.I. Joe: The Annual Subscription and Incentive Covers
Care of Previews World and artist Hal Laren, we have some images of a couple of the variant covers for the upcoming Transformers VS G.I. Joe annual. The annual is the comic adaptation of a hypothetical movie version of the 13 issue comic series, so expect it to partly retell and partly reimagine the crazy events of the most unique of Transformers and G.I. Joe fiction.
The subscription cover, which was posted over at Previews World, runs with the whole “movie adaptation” idea with a cover that resembles the style of a movie poster, featuring many of the main characters presented in a striking style. The exclusive cover by Hal Laren, on the other hand, is an AOD Collectables exclusive currently up for preorder. This cover features a sharp and dynamic presentation of Autobot Jazz.
Check out the art of both covers after the break.
