JOE team returns to the fray and their mission has become a global one–leading the charge against invading TRANSFORMERS and other aliens. But when a US military defense base goes dark, Scarlett has reason to suspect that these enemy forces may have infiltrated G.I. JOE.

I think. They've been hinting at Visionaries for a bit now; mostly keeping it to GI Joe but now it's seemingly leaking into MASK. It kind of irritates me because it's another example of the Hasbro universe properties moving way too fast for their own good and shoving in crossovers and even more franchises everywhere rather than taking the time to develop their own unique identities.

What I thought was an Inhumanoids tease in GI Joe just turned out to be Fatal Fluffies, so not sure anymore. Maybe with Marvel doing Inhumans as a focus they backed off so as not to appear too copy-cat? Just speculating.

For your latter points, yes. Dead on. Some of these books are hitting their stride just in time to end.

MASK never hit a stride. It fell face first at the start and every time it tries to get up it somehow digs itself deeper.

Via the usual iTunes channels, we now have a three-page preview of the upcoming second issue of the Hasbro Heros Sourcebook - the first issue can be seen here - featuring another story (featuring a DOUBLEDECKER BUS TRANSFORMER), profiles, more papercraft and more from across the shared Hasbro Universe! Check it out below.

If you’re new to the Hasbro Universe or a long-time fan, this book is for you! Featuring a veritable TON of bios on your favorite characters, from E to O, plus papercraft projects, a map of Metrotitan, the current base of Optimus Prime, and an exclusive story featuring Kup and Bryce Chan’s adventures in London!

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time a character exclusive to the RID comic adaptions has been adapted to another continuity.

Beast Wars: Uprising transplanted a ton of RID 2015-original characters.

Thanks to fellow board member Daniel Adkins, as he's just provided us with links to previews for the upcoming Hasbro Heroes Sourcebooks -- issues #2 and #3! Put up on the websites Comic Crusaders and Comic Book Resources respectively, most of the profiles shown here do feature characters from franchises like G.I. Joe and Micronauts; but rest assured, our favourite Cybertronians do have their own bios within these pages. Also of note is that like Issue #1, Issue #2 has a mini-comic as previewed here; but Issue #3 unfortunately seems to not follow suit. Nevertheless, take a look at the previews below and tell us what you think in the forums!

And here's Sourcebook 3's preview!

Another preview for an August 30th Hasbro Universe comics release from IDW Publishing is now available on iTunes, this one being for GI Joe #8. While it doesn't feature any Skywarp, the driver of our coverage of The Crown Jewel Of The Hasbro Universe, that's ok because we're pretty sure that would render the ninja fight/"sparring contest" between Quick Kick and Snake Eyes seen in the pages below a rather pointless affair. Enjoy the preview and look for this issue at your local comic shop in about two weeks' time.

Cocky much? I like Quick Kick, but assume Snake Ryes will own him in the end. I would happily surprised if QK won though, albeit after a good beating.

Really looking forward to this issue, for the Quick Kick/Snake Eyes fight and to find out Rock 'n Roll's fate.

And Skywarp, because Skywarp.

The interior art is so falsely advertised from its cover. It's amateurish. Including incomplete faces, backgrounds, and color errors (Snake Eyes goes from fingered gloves to fingers in one panel) is so unexceptionable for Hasbro crown jewel.

The interior artist does have a cover for this issue (there are 4 total), I just picked one that wasn't theirs for the news story thumbnail. Why? Because those Tom Whalen variant covers are awesome

Figured this might interest a few people. I recently got the chance to talk with Brandon Easton, writer of M.A.S.K. and Transformers: Deviations, on my podcast Action and Adventure. Easton is a life-long Transformers fan, and we talked about our shared TF fandom, how he got the job on TF: Deviations, and the development of the M.A.S.K. book.

Out this week alongside Optimus Prime #10, we have another IDW Publishing comic that will have been leading to the First Strike event, while also featuring the saltiest Seeker around - Skywarp. Check out below the full preview for GI Joe #8!

G.I. JOE #8
Aubrey Sitterson (w) • Giannis Milonogiannis (a) • Aaron Conley (c)
It’s the battle you’ve been waiting for! No, not G.I. Joe versus Cobra… it’s Snake Eyes versus Quick Kick! When Snake Eyes steps out of bounds, only Quick Kick stands in the way of the ninja commando. Who is the team’s true martial arts champion? Well, you’ve gotta read to find out!
FC • 32 pages • $3.99

Bullet points:
Don’t miss the Snake Eyes cover by Mondo artist Tom Whalen, part of our Tom Whalen Cover Month!
Variant cover by Santipérez!
