Written by James McDonough, Adam Patyk
Pencils by Pat Lee
FC 32pp $2.95 Monthly
All the animated style and flavor of the classic cartoons, packed into a comic crossover too big for any TV to contain!
As the new commander of the anti-terrorist organization G.I. JOE, the young Dashiell Faireborn—codename: FLINT—is forced to earn his stripes when the Joe team goes up against the newly resurrected menace of COBRA. But does this rough-around-the-edges rookie have what it takes to keep the likes of SHIPWRECK, SNAKE EYES and ROCK-N-ROLL in line long enough to stop this upstart terrorist organization? It’s a contest of wills and a race against time across a host of incredible globe-trotting locations as Flint rallies to even the odds against COBRA’s superior firepower, which is being bolstered by the discovery of the mysterious and powerful mechanical beings known as the TRANSFORMERS!
For the first time ever in the modern era, you’ll see these titans of toys go head-to-head in their classic costumes and robot designs! Featuring incredible Pat Lee art, two of the most popular franchises of all time return to their roots in the adventure you’ve always dreamed of seeing, courtesy of the creative team behind the G1 ongoing and MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE series!
*NOTE: This issue will ship with 3 covers by Don Figueroa, Joe Ng, and Pat Lee in equal ratio. Figueroa & Ng’s covers are wrap-arounds that combine to form one image and Lee’s cover is a triple gate-fold!
**NOTE: Retailers see order book for incentive program.

THE HAUNTING!
Who or what is destroying ENERGON-processing facilities across CYBERTRON? And why? A spirit of vengeance has been roused... and nowhere will ever be safe again.

PURGATORY!
Defeated, enslaved, ground beneath the conquering heel of the newly returned MEGATRON and put to work in the cauldron of CYBERTRON’s inner core.

But is all as it seems? Or is someone else pulling the strings... someone deadlier still?!
