Transformers/GI Joe Volume 2 “Divided Front” # 1
Pat Lee is back on TF as the Coolest Comic Crossover Returns!
Ask and ye shall receive! TRANSFORMERS/GI JOE returns with a whole new volume to satiate your eighties-toys cravings! Dreamwave brings you all the animated style and flavor of the classic cartoons, packed into a comic crossover too big for any TV to contain!
We pick up with the new commander of the anti-terrorist organization GI JOE, the young Dashiell Faireborn (codename: FLINT), having to earn his stripes when the Joes square off against a resurrected COBRA force!
But can this rookie live up to his father’s name and keep the likes of SHIPWRECK, SNAKE EYES and ROCK-N-ROLL in line long enough to thwart COBRA? It’s a race against time across a host of incredible globe-trotting locations as FLINT rallies to even the odds against COBRA’s superior firepower - which has been bolstered to the nth degree with the discovery of the mysterious and powerful mechanical beings known as the TRANSFORMERS! This issue will ship with five amazing covers by our terrific trio of Don Figueroa, Joe Ng and Pat Lee. These include wraparound covers from Don and Joe as well as a TRIPLE GATEFOLD COVER FROM PAT LEE!
For the first time ever in the modern era, you’ll see these titans of toys go head-to-head in their classic costumes and robot designs! Pat is stoked to work on a project that is very dear to his heart, and it shows! “I grew up watching the Joes and TRANSFORMERS on T.V. after school, and was always a huge fan. It is such a surreal but cool feeling to be able to pencil this awesome crossover - there are a bunch of really cool characters in all the factions, guys like SNAKE-EYES or STARSCREAM – what can I say, it’s going to be blast and it’s going to knock the socks off the readers!”
Adam Patyk and James McDonough and will be co-writing this series, and they too are pretty excited. They too are huge fans of TRANSFORMERS and GI JOE, having both worked on GENERATION ONE as well as many other TRANSFORMERS titles.
