Void Rivals #5

Void Rivals #5 was published in late 2023 as part of the debut series of the Energon Universe, a collaborative project between Skybound Entertainment and Hasbro. The series was created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Lorenzo De Felici, intentionally designed to reintroduce the Transformers and G.I. Joe franchises into a shared, cohesive continuity that stands apart from decades of established canon.

The issue serves as a critical expansion of the series' lore, focusing on the mysterious origins of the Agorrian and Zertonian conflict. De Felici’s art style, characterized by dynamic compositions and a distinctively textured color palette, was crafted to evoke a sense of alien discovery and high-stakes tension. Upon release, the issue received praise for its narrative pacing and its role in solidifying the foundations of this new, revitalized intellectual property.
