Cover Reveal: The Energon Universe is in Danger in COBRA COMMANDER #4

Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with leading toy and game company Hasbro, have revealed an impressive lineup of variant covers from Cobra Commander #4 from writer Joshua Williamson (DC’s Superman, Dark Ride), artist Andrea Milana (Impact Winter: Rook) and colorist Annalisa Leoni (Oblivion Song). The penultimate issue of the Energon Universe’s newest limited series arrives in comic book shops on April 17, 2024.

Cobra Commander has found a new ally – willing or not – that may just make him unstoppable. Unless, of course, someone is one step ahead of him…

Cobra Commander #4 will feature a main cover by Milana & Leoni, along with a stacked lineup of variant covers by Andrei Bressan & Adriano Lucas, Chris Burham & Brian Reber, Taurin Clarke, and Ben Oliver.

The second of four action-packed G.I. JOE miniseries that will introduce the iconic characters of the G.I. JOE and Cobra factions to the Energon Universe, Cobra Commander is running concurrently with Duke, the limited series from Joshua Williamson, Tom Reilly (The Thing) and Jordie Bellaire (W0rldtr33). These miniseries set the stage for a fresh new take on G.I. JOE, Cobra and the iconic characters that you only think you know in a shared universe with TRANSFORMERS and Void Rivals!

The Energon Universe officially began last summer with the surprise first appearance of iconic TRANSFORMERS character Jetfire in Void Rivals #1 from Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead) and Lorenzo De Felici (Kroma), introducing the historic new collaboration between Hasbro and Skybound, with TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE comics finding a new home with the publisher. Then TRANSFORMERS from writer/artist Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb, DC’s Wonder Woman: Dead Earth) and colorist Mike Spicer (Stillwater, Murder Falcon) kicked off a brand-new era for the iconic franchise. The Energon Universe recently expanded with the launch of Duke and Cobra Commander. Beginning in June 2024, limited series Scarlett, from writer Kelly Thompson (Black Widow, Birds of Prey) and artist Marco Ferrari (Frontiersman) and Destro, from writer Dan Watters (Loki, Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!) and artist Andrei Bressan (Dark Ride, Birthright), will round out the lineup of action-packed G.I. JOE miniseries that introduce the iconic characters of the G.I. JOE and Cobra factions to the Energon Universe. Fans should expect can’t-miss moments from every issue of the Energon Universe, as secrets are unveiled along the path to answering the BIG questions.

Cobra Commander #4 (of 5) (Lunar Codes Below | $3.99) will be available at comic book shops and digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.
