Via Bleeding It Cool website we have a very interesting article which finally reveals the new home for Transformers and G.I. Joe comics.
After IDW losing both the Transformers and GI Joe licenses at the end of 2022, it was unclear which would be the new editorial for each of Hasbro’s franchises (not officially at least). Now we finally have details about this new comic project:
…Transformers and GI Joe will be making their debut appearance together for Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment in Void Rivals #1, out next week. And this will begin a new Skybound comic book license with Hasbro for Transformers and GI Joe.
“Void Rivals” is a new comic book by Robert Kirkman, Matheus Lopes and Lorenzo De Felici, from Image Comics and Skybound, being published next week.

Cooooooool!
I wonder if the kid's one of the Autobots' obligatory human friends.

Kid has a real Marty McFly look going for him. Curious if that's just a reference for the variant cover or a hint at the era this comic takes place in.

How do we have an SDCC exclusive cover when the first issue doesn’t come out until Oct?

Oh yeah, 100%, it just didn’t work IMHO.

Guido and Don are powerhouses of robot art. I would kill to have either of them back on covers for these books.

While he was great (though I DESPISED his G1-Movieverse hybrid designs), I personally think Guido is my favorite. I only wish I knew how to get in touch with him…

It’s said he won’t, but he’s still the best that’s ever done it in my book.

I love it.
But he won’t.

If y’all don’t believe Don Figueroa needs to return to the Transformers Universe, I give you exhibits A-Z. In one nice package.

There's no question the first issue of Void Rivals did extremely well. The question now is how many are going to keep coming back for issue 2, 3, 4, etc.
