The coalition of Skybound Entertainment, Image Comics, and Hasbro have announced today that things are about to get a little more “special” in their recently-launched Energon Universe of expanded universe comic book titles, which currently includes the Transformers and G.I. Joe franchises, as well as the original IP which kicked the whole thing off, Void Rivals.
Energon Universe Special 2024 #1 will serve as “a perfect jumping on point for new readers and a can’t miss for long time fans,” and be available at comic shops on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, and will have five different covers, as follows:

If you’re not invested in the Energon Universe just yet, then there’s also good news: The story content of the special will be available the week prior on Saturday, May 4, 2024 — for free — as part of the offerings of Free Comic Book Day.
Whichever way you get it, they’re promising three all-new stories with “shocking turns from the juggernaut Energon Universe series and can’t miss first appearances from the worlds of Void Rivals, Transformer, and G.I. Joe.”
Energon Universe Special #1 will be available at a price of $3.99 USD in both comic book shops and across digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
