LOS ANGELES 04/25/2025 — Today Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with leading games, IP and toy company Hasbro, revealed interior pages and the lineup of variant covers for G.I. JOE #7. This all-new story arc will feature the superstar creative team of writer Joshua Williamson (Duke, Cobra Commander), artist Andrea Milana (Cobra Commander), colorist Lee Loughridge (Universal Monsters: The Mummy), and letterer Rus Wooton (Fire Power). The next chapter of the comic book introducing a bold new vision of G.I. Joe and Cobra to the Energon Universe will hit comic books shops on May 21, 2025.
Kicking off the second story arc of the new G.I. JOE epic, G.I. JOE #7 is a standalone Night Force covert op that features the first appearance of the iconic Beach Head! But is this really his last Mission?!
“Beach Head is one of the most beloved G.I. JOE characters and it’s exciting to finally debut him alongside the return of the mysterious Night Force,” noted executive editor Ben Abernathy. “He’s just the tip of the iceberg for what’s to come in the issue and the larger arc, though, and best of all is having Andrea and Lee back again in the Energon Universe!”
In addition to the main cover by Tom Reilly, G.I. JOE #7 will feature an open-to-order variant cover by Kael Ngu, the kickoff of a new 1:10 incentive connecting cover series by Alan Quah, a 1:25 incentive variant by Jeff Spokes, a 1:50 incentive variant by Homare, a 1:100 incentive variant by Derrick Chew, a blank sketch cover, and a die cut mask cover by Andrea Milana.
G.I. JOE is a tentpole of the Energon Universe, the crown jewel of the historic collaboration between Hasbro and Skybound, who has introduced a brand-new era of the TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE franchises in one shared comic book universe. Other Energon Universe titles include the ongoing series Void Rivals by writer Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead), artist Lorenzo De Felici (Kroma), and colorist Patricio Delpeche (The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country) and the two-time Eisner Award winning TRANSFORMERS by writer Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb), artist Jorge Corona (Middlewest), and colorist Mike Spicer (Stillwater, Murder Falcon). 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 from some of the biggest franchises in comics today.
