NYCC 2026: Transformers! G.I. Joe! Turok! Skybound Visions Is HERE!

At New York Comic Con, Skybound Entertainment, Image Comics, Hasbro, and Universal announced “Skybound Visions,” a new line of standalone, limited comic series featuring reimaginings of pop culture icons, exploring who those characters are – and who they can be. 

Bringing together the biggest comic characters and the biggest creators, Skybound Visions issues will tell complete, evergreen stories showcasing new sides of these beloved icons. Their stories serve as perfect jumping-on points for new readers, while also rewarding lifelong fans.  

The Skybound Visions line will launch in 2027 with Transformers: Bumblebee – Lost Planet in January, G.I. Joe: The Island of Dr. Mindbender in February, and Turok: Son of Stone in March. Each issue will be printed on deluxe newsprint, and feature variant covers by top talent.  

Transformers: Bumblebee – Lost Planet by writer Tate Brombal and Matt Emmons, colorist Giovanna Niro, and letterer Becca Carey arrives in comic shops on January 27, 2027. 

After a devastating Decepticon attack, Bumblebee is stranded on an uncharted planet. Lost in the galaxy, with no way to call for help, the so-called “weakest of all the Autobots” must tackle the biggest mission of his young life. But beneath its surface, this strange planet holds a secret that’s already begun to corrupt and change its indigenous life. Now, the Autobots’ greatest hope must come from the evolution of its most unexpected warrior… if Bee can survive being hunted by the deadliest Decepticon of all!

Then, just one new comic book day after Transformers: Bumblebee – Lost Planet #1 debuts, G.I. Joe: The Island of Dr. Mindbender by writer Karl Kerschl and Doug Mahnke, inker Jaime Mendoza, colorist David Baron, and letterer Tom Napolitano lands in stores on February 2, 2027.  

The last team of Joes sent to the Island of Dr. Mindbender never came back… Now, Codename: Flint must return to active duty to lead a fresh batch of recruits to the isolated compound of a madman. A mad scientist who’s grown madder every year–and his creations more monstrous. In the deadliest mission of his career, Flint just wants to rescue his old friends and get back to his family. But on this island, survival isn’t just half the battle–it’s the whole damn war!

The first Gold Key character in Skybound Visions, Turok: Son of Stone by writer Stephen Graham Jones and Leandro Fernández, and colorist Lee Loughridge with letterer Tom Napolitano hits comic shops on March 10, 2027.  

Turok wanted to dig up the past. Now, he must survive it. Turok dreamed that his dig in New Mexico would make his name legendary. But when the ground gave way, he fell through history and landed in a valley that shouldn’t exist. Where the Ice Age sits on top of the time of dinosaurs, and at every turn he discovers an era older and hungrier than the last. In a relentless quest to return to his son, Turok must unearth the truth about this hidden world and not lose his grip on a shifting reality that threatens to consume him. Sometimes a dream coming true is a nightmare beyond imagination…

To celebrate this brand-new initiative, a special Skybound Visions ashcan will be available in comic shops on Wednesday, November 11th, providing readers with a sneak peak of character designs and what to expect from all three series in the first slate of Skybound Visions titles.
