Helmed by the top-tier 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 (TRANSFORMERS), the next issue of the comic book introducing a bold new vision of G.I. Joe and Cobra to the Energon Universe lands in comic book shops on September 17, 2025.

THE FINAL SHOWDOWN WITH MAJOR BLUDD. It’ll be an eye for an eye as Baroness and Cover Girl must complete their mission…

In addition to the main cover by Tom Reilly, G.I. JOE #11 will feature an open-to-order variant cover by Andrea Milana, the continuation of the 1:10 incentive connecting cover series by Alan Quah, a 1:25 incentive variant by Lucas Meyer & Adriano Lucas, and a 1:50 incentive variant by AKA.

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 Conor Hughes (White Ash, The Game), 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.

G.I. JOE fans can look forward to an action-packed fall with this series’ Dreadnok War, an epic story which will see G.I. JOE shipping twice monthly for three months, starting this November with issue #13. Original series artist Tom Reilly returns for this arc and is now exclusive to Skybound. Joined by Eisner Award-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire, the record-breaking creative team reunites to kick off the Dreadnok War as Cobra Commander is targeted for death and his only hope to survive is…DUKE?
