The Biggest ‘G.I. Joe’ Story in Energon Universe History Starts in August
Skybound, Image Comics, and Hasbro announced G.I. Joe #25, an extra-sized landmark issue kicking off the long-anticipated G.I. Joe vs. Night Force story arc. The issue is written by Joshua Williamson with art by Tom Reilly and Andrea Milana, colors by Lee Loughridge, and letters by Rus Wooton.
Here's the full synopsis provided by the publisher:
"It had to happen: G.I. JOE vs Night Force! Everything has been leading to this EXTRA-SIZED landmark issue as Joe battles Joe, friends become enemies, and the chart-topping team of Joshua Williamson and Tom Reilly kick off the biggest G.I. JOE story in Energon Universe history!"
"One of the many things I love about working on the Energon Universe is the opportunity for long-form storytelling. The ability to craft and earn a big story like G.I. JOE vs Night Force. Something we've been setting up since the first mini-series. To reward our readers, and to do it with two incredible artists like Andrea and Tom is awesome," said Williamson. "This is our biggest issue yet, full of major surprises, twists, turns and new characters! This story will change the face of G.I. JOE and will kick off a massive story for the Energon Universe, but what could possibly make G.I. JOE and the Night Force team want to fight each other?"
G.I. Joe #25 is on sale August 19.
