Skybound, Image Comics, and Hasbro have announced commemorative connecting variant covers from Skybound-exclusive artist Tom Reilly and colorist Adriano Lucas coming in June 2026 to celebrate the third anniversary of the Energon Universe, the record-breaking comics line that began with the iconic stealth launch of Void Rivals #1 from writer Robert Kirkman and artist Lorenzo De Felici. 

Since then, the Energon Universe has grown to include the two-time Eisner Award winning TRANSFORMERS whose current creative team consists of writer Robert Kirkman, artist Jason Howard, and colorist Mike Spicer, G.I. JOE by writer Joshua Williamson, artist Andrea Milana, and colorist Lee Loughridge, and now also the brand-new series M.A.S.K. by writer Dan Watters, artist Pye Parr, and colorist Pierluigi Casolino, launching June 3. 

To mark the anniversary, each Energon Universe comic releasing in June 2026 will feature two sets of open-to-order, connecting, full art variant covers from fan-favorite Energon Universe artist Tom Reilly and colorist Adriano Lucas, the second black & white version of Reilly’s art.  

The variants will be available for M.A.S.K. #1, TRANSFORMERS #33, G.I. JOE #23, and Void Rivals #31. With the full art piece featuring 82 iconic characters, including recent Energon Universe returning favorites M.A.S.K., V.E.N.O.M., Arcee Magnus, Crystal Ball, Storm Shadow, and Scarlett, this is a connecting cover set collectors do not want to miss.
