Skybound is deal the interconnection of its fresh Energon Universe pedigree of strip with a limited one - guesswork that get on the plot of ground of all three serial and remind reader that all these taradiddle are connect .
Energon Universe 2024 Special # 1features three disjoined , standalone tale write and illustrate by the originative team behindTransformersandVoid Rivalsalong with the author of the first two miniseries tie to the upcomingGI JOEseries .
While the interconnection of the universe of discourse is perhaps the enceinte marketing power point , what I enjoy most is how all three cartoon strip come near the Hasbro holding from the same “ grainy ” slant that swan lector will revel the full universe of discourse of comic strip even if they are n’t conversant with a specific attribute .

The most impactful storey inEnergon Universe 2024 Specialis the Megatron - focusedTransformersstory by author Darren Warren Johnson and creative person Ryan Ottley .
This was in the progeny , we not only see what happen to megatron to excuse his absence seizure in the maintransformersseries , but also find his escapism from cobra headquarters .
Johnson and Ottley stay on to tilt into last and taking apart in theirTransformersstories , with Megatron slay another Autobot and lose both blazonry and multiple eye in the physical process .

On the one hired hand , automaton tear optical maser and carry optical maser - axis vertebra should be a fleck more pestilent than what we see in the gentlerTransformerscartoons .
However , the regression on robot pass in brute way give the serial publication an unintended parallel of latitude to the Michael Bay motion-picture show , which always feature some golem getting crunch up in cheeseparing - risible style .
TheVoid Rivalsstory institute in another Transformer to interact with the exotic element of the Energon Universe , with Hot Rod appear to seem into a miss ( and so far unknown ) friend .
To this peak , the mainVoid Rivalsseries by author Robert Kirkman and creative person Lorenzo De Felici has mostly restrain itself keep apart from theTransformersuniverse , with only periodic appearance by Autobots , Decepticons , and other related to animal .
Still , it seems that the comedian will be tight come near a carrefour , although Kirkman ’s dumb and unfaltering attack should give dividend in build out a dissimilar universe of discourse than what we ’ve do it in pastTransformerscomics .
dive into Duke
The most impactful history inEnergon Universe 2024 Specialis the Megatron - focusedTransformersstory by author Darren Warren Johnson and creative person Ryan Ottley .
In the payoff , we not only see what materialize to Megatron to explicate his absence seizure in the mainTransformersseries , but also find his evasion from Cobra Headquarters .
Johnson and Ottley proceed to be given into dying and taking apart in theirTransformersstories , with Megatron dispatch another Autobot and lose both branch and multiple center in the outgrowth .
On the one script , automaton pip optical maser and carry optical maser - axe should be a piece more pestilent than what we see in the gentlerTransformerscartoons .
However , the infantile fixation on automaton cash in one’s chips in brutish mode give the serial an unintended latitude to the Michael Bay moving-picture show , which always sport some automaton getting mash up in nigh - risible mode .
TheVoid Rivalsstory bring in another Transformer to interact with the exotic element of the Energon Universe , with Hot Rod appear to bet into a miss ( and so far nameless ) friend .
This was to this pointedness , the mainvoid rivalsseries by author robert kirkman and creative person lorenzo de felici has mostly keep itself keep apart from thetransformersuniverse , with only periodic appearance by autobots , decepticons , and other related to brute .
Still , it seems that the comedian will be tight border on a juncture , although Kirkman ’s boring and unfluctuating plan of attack should devote dividend in build out a unlike creation than what we ’ve eff in pastTransformerscomics .
in conclusion , theGI Joestory flirt on the undercover agent slant of the paramilitary authority , with Duke raise Baroness to unite his fresh squad .
The surprisal here is that Duke is n’t the only agentive role in the field of operation in this serial , and it appear that the newGI Joestoryline will have more tautness and search the spywork of the GI Joes liken to retiring strip .
OLM
While I ’m not as intimate withGI Joeas I am the Transformers , I enjoy theGI Joestoryline in part because it had the same tactile property as the other two comic strip .
While all three comic are unequaled , they distinctly exhibit a ill-gotten , distrustful interpretation of these plaything dealership , one where there are no “ consecrated moo-cow ” or line that ca n’t be cross .
This was one affair i ’ve loosely dislike about licence serial is that they have to represent it secure and remain within obvious parameter , but it appear that skybound is being have more allowance with both its consistency tally and universal tonus , which help the energon universe issue as its own typical chronicle .
Another interesting part of the government issue is that , while theEnergon Universe 2024 Specialis bill as a looking within the macrocosm , the comical piddle clean that there are multiple account angle play out across unlike theatre of operations .
This was while it would be alluring to ramp up toward some form of joint scourge or fully grown consequence with a comedian like this , i recollect that institute the creation is more good in the foresightful footrace and get the inevitable crosswalk an even full-grown softwood when it come .
This comedian is still repose out the piece of the cosmos and that ’s more utilitarian than push towards an contiguous upshot of some variety .

diving event into Energon Universe
While I ’m not as intimate withGI Joeas I am the Transformers , I enjoy theGI Joestoryline in part because it had the same flavor as the other two strip .
While all three comedian are unparalleled , they clear represent a dirty , distrustful reading of these plaything franchise , one where there are no “ consecrated moo-cow ” or billet that ca n’t be cross .
One matter I ’ve broadly speaking dislike about certify serial is that they have to take on it good and stay put within obvious parameter , but it appear that Skybound is being give way more allowance with both its dead body numeration and world-wide flavour , which help oneself the Energon Universe come out as its own classifiable narration .
Another interesting part of the egress is that , while theEnergon Universe 2024 Specialis placard as a tone within the population , the laughable cause decipherable that there are multiple floor angle play out across unlike dramatic art .
While it would be alluring to establish toward some form of joint terror or with child consequence with a comedian like this , I guess that give the world is more good in the foresightful footrace and realize the inevitable crossing an even bad lot when it get .
This comedian is still pose out the piece of the earth and that ’s more utilitarian than push towards an contiguous outcome of some variety .
If you need to hear a unlike form of share existence , Energon Universe 2024 Specialcertainly pitch a unassailable lawsuit for its featured comedian .
I ’m funny as to how Skybound will go up this mankind in the tenacious full term , but this one - pellet is all about machination and possible action , which is perhaps the strong gross revenue slant you’re free to make for a still nascent share macrocosm .
