The shared universe of Transformers and GI Joe, developed by Image Comics, will be distributed in Spain by Moztros.
The world of comics is about to witness a collaboration that marks a collaboration before and after. Imagine a universe where Autobots, Decepticons and GI JOE coexist, cooperate and clash. This dream comes true at Moztros Editorial, which is proud to announce the arrival of its new shared universe under its publisher, Image Comics and Skybound.
The new shared universe of Transformers
The magic starts with Warren Johnson and Robert Kirkman, two names that resonate the most in the world of comics. Johnson, the lead in the ‘Transformers’ series, promises to take Optimus Prime and company to new heights. Meanwhile, Kirkman, known for his legacy on ‘The Walking Dead’, takes the lead on ‘VOID RIVALS’, establishing the context for this expanded universe. But what can we expect from this creative idea?
May 2024: The beginning of a new era
We start in May with ‘VOID RIVALS’, Kirkman’s work, which promises to be the cornerstone of this universe. The story begins and provides context for everything to come, an important starting point for fans.
June 2024: Landing of Optimus Prime
In June, the focus shifted to ‘Transformers’ in Volume 1. Daniel Warren Johnson shared the excitement: “Get ready! I’ve been drawing Optimus Prime since first grade. This project is a new chapter in a decades-long dream to celebrate transformative robots.
September and November: Road to GI JOE
Fall brings ‘ROAD TO GI JOE,’ a series that explores the origins and prequels of the GI JOE saga. This series will serve as the perfect bridge to ‘GI JOE #301 – #1’ set in 2025, where the world of GI JOE will fully merge with Transformers.
This ambitious project is not just a compilation of characters; It’s a tribute to decades of comic history, a promise of innovation and epic adventures. Fans of both franchises can expect a rich and exciting narrative full of action, loyalty and of course twists and turns.
Transformers in the comics
The Transformers universe in the comics has been an amazing journey since its inception. First introduced in 1984, Transformers quickly went from toys to pop culture icons, thanks in part to their presence in the comics. The narrative in the comics has delved deeper into the mythology of the Autobots and the Decepticons, beyond simple battles between good and evil.
Over the years, different publishers have dominated the Transformers universe, each bringing their own focus and depth. Marvel Comics was the first to publish Transformers stories, establishing many of the basic concepts and characters. The IDW publication later revived the franchise with a more mature and complex narrative, exploring themes such as politics, war and identity.
These stories allow for a deeper examination of famous characters like Optimus Prime and Megatron, showing not only their physical battles, but also their inner struggles and philosophies. The Transformers universe in the comics has always been a reflection of current conflicts and challenges, evolving and evolving over time to be relevant and engaging to fans.
With the arrival of this new shared universe with GI Joe, Transformers comics are about to begin an exciting new chapter. This crossover not only offers new adventures, but also the opportunity to see these beloved characters in unexplored contexts and dynamic situations. Anticipation is high among fans as they anticipate how this merger will expand the already rich tapestry of the Transformers universe.
