Seems like only yesterday the mega-hit Energon Universe launched from Skybound. Between the incredible sales and Eisner Awards, it goes without saying that it’s been a super success and the best is yet to come. To whit, Skybound unveiled revealed the lineup of variant covers and interior pages from the highly anticipated Energon Universe Special 2025.
Available with an exclusive cover as part of Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, May 3, 2025, this special serves as a perfect jumping on point for new readers and a can’t miss for longtime fans, with huge revelations in store, including the first appearance of a major character. I’m sure I’m not the only one hoping for Snake Eyes!
Here’s how Skybound describes the issue:
Discover three all new stories from the Energon Universe, with stunning revelations for the worlds of G.I. JOE, TRANSFORMERS, and VOID RIVALS from the biggest names in comics. Energon Universe talent Joshua Williamson (Duke, Superman), Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead), and Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb) pen the stories, and Andrea Milana (Cobra Commander), Conor Hughes (White Ash) and Johnson will provide art. Andrea Milana also serves as artist for the FCBD exclusive cover.
Energon Universe Special 2025 will also be available for purchase in comic book shops on May 14, 2025, featuring the same story content as the Free Comic Book Day 2025 special with all-new can’t miss covers for collectors.
In addition to the main cover by Andrea Milana, Energon Universe Special 2025 will feature an impressive slate of variant covers by Energon Universe and top comics talent Daniel Warren Johnson & Mike Spicer (Stillwater, Murder Falcon), Conor Hughes, E.J.
