GI Joe and Cobra are reborn in a new comic with its own continuity and an all-new character this winter

After spending close to a year rolling out its ‘Energon Universe’ of shared GI Joe and Transformers titles, Skybound Entertainment has finally announced the launch of its ongoing GI Joe series.

Written by Joshua Williamson, who has written several of the GI Joe limited series that have set the stage for the new ongoing title, GI Joe will be drawn by Tom Reilly with colors by Jordie Bellaire, the art team from Williamson’s Duke limited series.

Skybound promises its GI Joe title will “introduce a bold new vision of GI Joe and Cobra,” seemingly picking up right where the publisher’s Duke and Cobra Commander series left off, with both figureheads assembling new versions of their respective organizations.

“Conrad Hauser, Codename DUKE, has assembled a special force known as GI Joe to battle the rising power of the mysterious COBRA in the aftermath of the Autobots and Decepticons’ arrival on Earth. But the enigmatic Cobra Commander has unleashed the power of Energon like never before!” reads Skybound’s official description of the new GI Joe title.
