Today Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with leading toy and game company Hasbro, revealed interior pages and an impressive lineup of variant covers from Destro #3, the next chapter of the limited series from writer Dan Watters (Loki, Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!), guest artist Andrea Milana (Cobra Commander), and colorist Adriano Lucas (Dark Ride, Nightwing). Destro #3 hits comic book shops on August 21, 2024.
Stranded in the mountains without any weapons, Destro must survive the Chameleon’s wrath. But who is the Chameleon? And why do they want Laird Destro dead?
Destro #3 will feature a main cover by Andrei Bressan & Lucas, along with a stacked lineup of variant covers including an open to order cover by Karl Kerschl (Gotham Academy), the third cover in the 1:10 incentive connecting cover series by Nikola Čižmešija (Batman and Robin), a 1:25 incentive variant by Mico Suayan (Bloodshot: Reborn) & Rex Lokus (Action Comics), and a 1:50 incentive variant by Eric Canete (Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin).
Rounding out the lineup of four action-packed G.I. JOE miniseries that introduce the iconic characters of the G.I. Joe and Cobra teams to the Energon Universe, Destro joins Duke by Joshua Williamson (Superman, Dark Ride), Tom Reilly (The Thing) and Jordie Bellaire (W0rldtr33), Cobra Commander from writer Joshua Williamson, artist Andrea Milana (Impact Winter: Rook) and colorist Annalisa Leoni (Oblivion Song), and Scarlett from writer Kelly Thompson (Black Widow, Birds of Prey), artist Marco Ferrari (Frontiersman), and colorist Lee Loughridge (I Hate This Place, Killadelphia). These miniseries promise to set the stage for a fresh new take on G.I. Joe, Cobra and the iconic characters that you only think you know!
Destro is a series within the Energon Universe, a cornerstone of the historic collaboration between Hasbro and Skybound, with TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE comics finding a new home with the publisher to introduce a brand-new era for these landmark franchises in one shared universe. Energon Universe titles include the ongoing series Void Rivals by writer Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead), artist Lorenzo De Felici (Kroma), and colorist Patricio Delpeche (The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country) and TRANSFORMERS by writer Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth), artist Jorge Corona (Middlewest), and colorist Mike Spicer (Stillwater, Murder Falcon), and the upcoming series G.I. JOE by writer Joshua Williamson (Superman, Dark Ride), artist Tom Reilly (The Thing), and colorist Jordie Bellaire (W0rldtr33), alongside the G.I. JOE miniseries.
