G.I. Joe is getting a brand-new comic book series from Skybound that promises to “introduce a bold new vision of GI Joe and Cobra.”

The project is coming from writer Joshua Williamson, who has written several of the G.I. Joe limited series that have set the stage for the new ongoing title. It will be drawn by Tom Reilly with colors by Jordie Bellaire, the art team from Williamson’s Duke limited series.

The comic seems to pick up where the publisher’s Duke and Cobra Commander series left off, with both figureheads assembling new versions of their respective organizations.

The description reads: “Conrad Hauser, Codename DUKE, has assembled a special force known as GI Joe to battle the rising power of the mysterious COBRA in the aftermath of the Autobots and Decepticons’ arrival on Earth. But the enigmatic Cobra Commander has unleashed the power of Energon like never before!”

“Featuring the First Appearance of an ALL-NEW character and many familiar faces, this is the comic that will change everything you think you know about GI Joe…and that’s only half the surprises in store!”

Williamson said in a statement: “Finally! The team is together! The response to the mini-series that led to this moment has been phenomenal, it’s been exciting to see lifelong fans of the iconic series and new readers come together to support GI Joe in the Energon Universe.”

He continued: “What has come before was just a glimpse into the massive world full of action and drama that we’re bringing with the new ongoing series. Now it’s time to amp up the story as the newly formed GI Joe and Cobra meet for the first time!

“Our first issue rocks the Energon Universe in major ways with big moments we’ve been dying to unleash. Tom and Jordie are killing it and bringing the heat with every page. You do not want to miss GI Joe #1. Yo Joe!”

Skybound founder Robert Kirkman said: “I love it when a plan comes together. With the foundation laid, Skybound is primed to expand the Energon Universe with an ongoing GI Joe series.

“Duke, Cobra Commander, Scarlett and Destro have been mere teases of what we have in store. Now Josh, Tom and crew are bringing us a new vision of these beloved characters that will stand next to Transformers and Void Rivals as the cornerstones of the Energon Universe!” 

G.I. Joe #1 goes on sale November 13, with a wraparound cover by interior artists Tom Reilly and Jordie Bellaire, seen above.
