Description
I feel like by this point its getting slightly harder to write descriptions for the Energon Universe pages I pick up without sounding like a broken record. I can imagine folks going "WE GET IT, you like G.I. Joe & Transfomers...enough already!!"

Well, fair point...but...this one has the evil leaders of both properties on the page, a bit of a rarity. So, yeah...had to grab this one for that top panel alone! You also get some more of the growing conflict/distrust between Cobra Commander & Destro. These developing relationships are a highlight of the series for me!

I do quite enjoy how Bellaire has colored Tom’s work on Duke & G.I. Joe, it’s quite distinctive, but again seeing Tom’s art as drawn provides an entirely different viewing experience, one that I still say should be officially printed by Skybound in some form, these pages are just that good in black and white!

Carl, keep them comin'. Transformers Energon Universe has been the best Transformers story, comic, and soon to be Cartoon Series we have ever expierenced. I loved this page and was sad that you beat me to it, but undoubtedly in the right collection.....for now.....(call me). That top panel is excellent!!! Congrats on another awesome page.

Thanks so much!! No worries, I do still have a few I need to post yet! No shortage of Energon pieces in this collection!

Agreed, these are my favorite versions of these properties since my youth, and its rare to have modern art tap so heavily into my nostalgic roots. These comics are for sure doing that. I can't wait to see what they do with the planned Energon Universe show!!

When you see a page with crossover aspects done this well, it is a must get!  Cobra Commander has harnessed the power of Energon and the question of Megatron looms large as he had not made his return yet.  A great slow burn of the EU!  Great start to No Nut Joe-vember!

Haha the No Nut Joe-vember...thank you for not letting that one die!

To your point though, yeah, such great foundational building blocks these stories and relationships have been!

Carl, I relate to everything you said in your first paragraph SO much! That's exactly why I stopped posting Grummett pages from New Titans years ago. 😂

But I also think you feel that way because you always debut your pages on YouTube, so by the time you post them here, you naturally feel as though you've already show and spoken about the art, and therefore also feel as if you're just repeating yourself! But it's all good, man. Just write about what you love best about it and that's it!

This is a great looking page with great villainous characters. The whole thing is nice, but the first panel is definitely the star of the show!

So true, I feel like by the time I've posted them here, i've talked about them in numerous videos by now, it's almost to where I just want to post the page on CAF with no commentary, but then again, I always love reading the why's behind the purchase, so i refuse to leave the description blank.

Next one though, watch out, it might just be "I really like this page, it's cool"

Thanks George! I keep seeing Tom debut new character designs as each new Joe character is introduced, and everytime I wonder if you had seen it yet! haha

Worth the price of admission for sure on that top panel, everything else is just sweet tasting gravy!!

That top panel is pretty bad ass.  And there is no such thing as too much love for GI Joe & the Transfomers, keep those descriptions coming!

A. Sick page!

B. Does Cobra Commander get to uh... squeeze Megatrons's trigger, if you know what I mean (and I think you do)?

C. Stingray is awesome!*
