Skybound Give Us A First Look At ‘G.I. Joe’ #19 And A New Story Arc

It’s like waiting for a bus: you wait and wait, and then two turn up at the same time. And so it is today with a second first look at an Energon Universe title from Skybound, Image Comics, and Hasbro. This second preview is for G.I. Joe #19, from writer Joshua Williamson, artist Andrea Milana, colourist Lee Loughridge, and letterer Rus Wooton, launching a new arc this February.

“G.I. Joe vs. Transformers; the secret is out! When Duke learns that Clutch has been hiding the Autobot Hound from the Joes, one question remains: can anyone stop him from putting Hound down permanently?”  

An issue that sets up the auspicious meeting between Optimus Prime and Duke in G.I. Joe #20, this March.
