Image Comics gets Hasbro licences including Transformers

Seems to have been kept under wraps for a while and be close to publishing, probably because existing TF comics readers are vocally sick of crossovers and TF/GI Joe comics generally aren't very good.

Nothing of interest yet, personally. Will keep an open-ish mind.

I skimmed the first issue of that Void Rivals series
SPOILER! (select to read)
The Transformers involvement that I saw was quite minimal. Character stumbles across Jetfire, who was crashed on a moon or something and offline, inadvertently wakes him up, Jetfire transforms and flies off into space. Nothing of substance really, just establishes that Transformers are in that universe. Zero indication any Transformer will show up in future Void Rivals issues.

That was actually quite good, mainly because it wasn't a TF comic. Lots of sci-fi cliche but competently enough done that the two characters might have some mileage.

Less enamoured with the realisation it's another company whose approach seems to be fragmented miniseries or series, not sure why there's Duke / CC rather than a Joes book.
