Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics have shared a first look inside the upcoming third issue of the G.I. Joe limited series Duke.
Duke #3 hits comic shops at the end of this month from writer Joshua Williamson, artist Tom Reilly, and colorist Jordie Bellaire. The issue features a main cover by Reilly, as well as variant covers by Declan Shalvey, Tyler Boss with Jason Wordie, Priscilla Petraites with Frank Martin, and Karl Kerschl. At this time, Skybound has revealed a pair of fully-lettered preview pages, which star fan-favorite G.I. Joe character Baroness.
Check out the first-look preview for Duke #3 below:
An official synopsis for Duke #3 reads as follows: “Codename: G.I. JOE continues! Duke’s search for answers has led him to a classified holding site for the America’s most dangerous prisoners including the enigmatic Baroness. Now he’s the most wanted man in the world. Unfortunately, everyone seems to prefer him DEAD over ALIVE.”
Duke brought G.I. Joe to the Energon Universe
Duke launched back in December as the first of four limited series that serve to introduce G.I. Joe characters to Skybound and Image‘s Energon Universe. The series is currently running concurrently with Cobra Commander, which itself launched in January. Skybound has yet to formally unveil the remaining two G.I. Joe series.
Nevertheless, the Energon Universe already includes two other key series: fellow Hasbro-licensed title Transformers and the Skybound-original Void Rivals. Skybound, Image, and Hasbro recently dropped a trailer for the second wave of the Energon Universe, teasing major developments still to come.
Duke #3 goes on sale Wednesday, February 28 from Image Comics.
