One year ago, the Big Bang of the Energon Universe burst open in the pages of Void Rivals #1. Now, with Skybound's Transformers and G.I. Joe titles also among the hottest comics published, we're celebrating the first anniversary of the Energon Universe in June with a series of connecting covers by artist Jason Howard. These four covers will adorn Destro #1, Scarlett #1, Transformers #9, and Void Rivals #10.

Today Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with leading toy and game company Hasbro, announced special commemorative variant covers in June 2024 to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Energon Universe, the record-breaking comics line that began with Void Rivals #1 from writer Robert Kirkman and artist Lorenzo De Felici.

Since then, the Energon Universe has grown to include TRANSFORMERS by writer Daniel Warren Johnson, artist Jorge Corona, and colorist Mike Spicer and series featuring iconic G.I JOE characters, including Duke, a limited series from writer Joshua Williamson, artist Tom Reilly and colorist Jordie Bellaire and Cobra Commander from writer Joshua Williamson, artist Andrea Milana and colorist Annalisa Leoni.

To celebrate the chart-topping success of the Energon Universe, the below comics in June 2024 will feature two sets of open-to-order, connecting, full art variant covers – the first by superstars Jason Howard and Annalisa Leoni, the second a B&W version featuring Howard’s art.

“Thank you to all the retailers, readers, and collectors who have helped us make the Energon Universe into a truly special pop culture event,” said Sean Mackiewicz, SVP/Publisher, Skybound Entertainment. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and now Void Rivals worlds connect with a larger worldwide audience through our comics, and this is the first time you can see the entire roster of characters altogether, in one jaw-dropping piece. We’re thrilled to celebrate the first of what will be many exciting and surprising years of the Energon Universe!”
