It’s been known for a while that writer Daniel Warren Johnson would be wrapping up his best-selling run on Skybound’s Transformers with issue #24. And now we know the team coming in for the next issue… Starting with Transformers #25, the new ongoing team for the series is writer Robert Kirkman and artist Dan Mora.
“Holy smokes, I’m writing a TRANSFORMERS comic!” said Kirkman via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “I’ve been so invested in this series since the beginning. I’ve marveled at what Daniel Warren Johnson and Jorge Corona have brought to some of my all-time favorite characters. When Daniel’s run came to an end, I could stand on the sidelines no more! I just had to get in the ring! It’s a tremendous honor to be a small part of the legacy of these amazing characters. This world has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can’t wait for everyone to see what the legendary Dan Mora and I are cooking up!”
Added Mora, “I’ve been a huge TRANSFORMERS fan ever since I can remember, so it’s been a real thrill to come aboard the series with the equally thrilling Robert Kirkman. I’ve also been a huge fan of Daniel Warren Johnson and Jorge Corona, and what they’ve done on this title has literally been out of this world. Drawing my favorite Autobots and Decepticons brings me back to all of the fun I had playing with them as a kid, so I hope to add my own spark to their legacy and can’t wait for fans to see what Robert and I have been toying with for the Energon Universe next!”
…So what are they cooking next? The synopsis is pretty vague:
The Energon Universe will never be the same as the Autobots and Decepticons begin the most surprising new chapter in their war on Earth.
Optimus Prime and the remaining Autobots must join forces with unlikely allies in order to protect their adopted planet. But Prime’s next challenge lies closer to home than he ever imagined. And what is the fate of the Decepticons?
Basically, you’ll have to wait until Transformers #25 hits on October 8, 2025 to find out. The book will have a main cover by David Nakayama, an open-to-order cover by Daniel Warren Johnson & Mike Spicer, as well as variants by Jorge Corona & Mike Spicer, Kael Ngu, Dan Mora, Jae Lee & June Chung, Autobot & Decepticon blank sketch covers, and specialty finish covers by David Nakayama, John Amor, and Leonardo Romero.
