Skybound, Image Comics, and Hasbro have revealed preview pages and the lineup of variant covers for G.I. JOE #19. From the creative team of writer Joshua Williamson, artist Andrea Milana, colorist Lee Loughridge, and letterer Rus Wooton, a brand-new arc of the hit Energon Universe series launches in comic shops on February 18, 2026. 

G.I. JOE vs. TRANSFORMERS; the secret is out! 

When Duke learns that Clutch has been hiding the Autobot Hound from the Joes, one question remains: can anyone stop him from putting Hound down permanently?  

This issue collides the worlds of TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE and leads perfectly to the first Energon Universe meeting of Optimus Prime and Duke in G.I. JOE #20. 

In addition to the main cover by Tom Reilly, G.I. JOE #19 will feature an open-to-order variant cover by Joshua Cassara and Romulo Fajardo Jr., an open-to-order variant cover by Ben Oliver, a 1:25 incentive variant by Tonči Zonjić, a 1:50 incentive variant by Trevor Hairsine, Andy Lanning, and Romulo Fajardo Jr., a 1:100 incentive foil variant by Pye Parr, and a foil mask cover variant by John Amor and Andres Juarez.
