Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with Hasbro, have revealed that a new three-issue story arc is kicking off on May 20th involving G.I. Joe, Risk. Headlining the story is writer Joshua Williamson (DC K.O.), artist Andrea Milana (Cobra Commander), colorist Lee Loughridge (Universal Monsters: The Mummy), and letterer Rus Wooton.
“One of the things I’ve loved about working in the Energon Universe is that we’ve created a world that lets us explore the G.I. JOE mythology using different genres. And with these three issues, we’re taking the team into a horror story,” said writer Joshua Williamson. “We used some of those tools in the Cobra Commander mini-series two years ago, so it’s awesome that we’re revisiting that kind of story with Andrea Milana again! Be ready for some action-packed horror! Lots of surprises as these issues help set up the next massive storyline that hits the Energon Universe.”
So what’s this story about?
After the stunning conclusion to DREADNOK WAR, the Joes and Cobra are in a race to find Energon across the world, but Crystal Ball (making his Energon Universe first appearance) has other ideas, and some D.I.R.E. new tricks up his sleeve. And as the secret origin of G.I. Joe’s most unpredictable member Risk is revealed, the future of Joe and Cobra will change forever when Baroness and Destro meet again…
“This action-packed arc has it all–adventure, horror, a new villain, and the origin of Risk,” noted Executive Editor Ben Abernathy. “We have a lot of pieces coming into alignment as we build toward our epic 25th issue!”
