The Energon Universe comic books by Skybound Entertainment have been a major success, namely the chief series that gives the shared universe its name: Transformers. Hasbro’s robots in disguise are the main feature of this rebooted book series. Still, several spinoff titles have been released based on characters from fellow Hasbro franchise, G.I. Joe. Now, a main Energon Universe G.I. Joe book is finally being launched, but there are several Joes and Cobra members deserving of their own comics.
The obvious path would be solo titles for iconic ninjas such as Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Other characters worthy of such a spotlight include Tunnel Rat, a kung fu expert, Quick Kick, and the dual threat of Tomax and Xamot. Using the popularity of the Energon Universe to reinvigorate interest in these classic characters, these potential G.I. Joe side comics could make said heroes and villains just as iconic with this generation of readers as the Autobots and Decepticons are.
The battles and over-the-top elements can be balanced with character drama, which would definitely work given that a member of Roadblock’s family is also a member of G.I. Joe. Heavy Duty is Roadblock’s cousin. Still, this fact isn’t emphasized as much as some might expect. A Roadblock series can finally explore his relationship with Heavy Duty more, all while showing how both are strong military and firm family men.
