Tom Reilly’s wraparound cover hints at the chaos inside as Joshua Williamson kicks off a massive crossover event. Friends become enemies in the biggest G.I. Joe story yet.
If you’ve been following the Energon Universe, you know that Joshua Williamson and Tom Reilly have been steadily building something special with G.I. Joe. This isn’t just another patrol; it’s a collision course. Issue twenty-five arrives as an extra-sized landmark, and the energy around it is impossible to ignore. We’re talking about a story that feels less like a continuation and more like a seismic shift in the entire universe.
The premise is bold in the best way: G.I. Joe versus Night Force. This isn’t a friendly spar or a misunderstanding easily cleared up. It’s a full-scale conflict where allies are forced into adversarial roles and loyalties are tested in the most dangerous ways. Williamson and Reilly have laid the groundwork for this clash for months, and now that groundwork is being tested in real-time.
Visually, this issue is a treat. Tom Reilly’s wraparound cover gives you a taste of the scale involved, but the interior art by Reilly, Andrea Milana, and Lee Loughridge brings that tension to life with incredible clarity. The art doesn’t just show the action; it makes you feel the weight of every confrontation. It’s dynamic, grounded, and utterly captivating from the first page.
This is the kind of issue that redefines a run. It’s a perfect jumping-on point for anyone who has been on the ride, and an exciting entry for newcomers who want to see where the high-stakes action is heading. The crossover element adds a layer of complexity that elevates the usual military thriller aspects into something much larger.
Keep an eye on this one. Issues like this tend to move quickly, especially when the creative team is hitting this high. If you want to experience the full impact of the wraparound art and the sheer scope of this conflict, grabbing a copy early ensures you’re part of the conversation as it unfolds.
