M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand), a popular franchise from the 1980s, has officially joined the Transformers and GI Joe universe, thanks to Robert Kirkman and Skybound Entertainment. Originally launched in 1985 by Kenner Toys, M.A.S.K. features agents who pilot vehicles that transform into advanced machines. The revival is part of the Energon Universe, which also includes GI Joe and Transformers, and debuted on Free Comic Book Day. Written by Dan Watters and illustrated by Pye Parr, the new series aims to modernize the characters and their motivations, providing deeper backstories. The first issue is scheduled for release on June 3, 2023. The Energon Universe has been a significant success for Image Comics and Skybound, with sales numbers comparable to major comic lines. The anticipation surrounding M.A.S.K.'s return is high, and the publisher is promoting it through innovative initiatives like the “Energon Blind Bag” program.
