Official Synopsis for Destro:
On the heels of the Scarlett #1 launch comes Destro #1 from acclaimed writer Dan Watters (Loki, Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!), artist Andrei Bressan (Dark Ride, Birthright), and colorist Adriano Lucas (Dark Ride, Nightwing).
Available at comic book shops on June 19, 2024, this issue kicks off the fourth of four action-packed G.I. JOE miniseries that promise to set the stage for a fresh new take on G.I. Joe, Cobra and the iconic characters that you only think you know in a shared universe with TRANSFORMERS and Void Rivals!
The next chapter of the Cobra threat begins here! James McCullen Destro XXIV is the man behind M.A.R.S. Industries, the undisputed leader in providing high-tech weapons to world powers...for the right price. But the emergence of Energon has changed everything. As Destro’s ambitions grow, the “Crimson Twins” Tomax and Xamot Paoli emerge to destroy their competition, and Cobra Commander realizes his current ally could be his future greatest enemy.

I have to say, I was surprised that Tomax, Xamot and the Crimson Guard made such a dramatic splash, in a book called Destro. They kind of stole the limelight. However, I look forward to seeing their story as well. On a side note, I hope this story arc means we’re getting a Classified Darklon figure, sooner than later!

[@grantmeunierrubytarnprime874]

I really liked it! It has a similar tone as Duke & Cobra Commander, but with political intrigue and some Gaelic mysticism. It was also really cool to see Darklon and the country of Sierra Gordo introduced into the universe.

Sierra Gordo was a nice easter egg

@@talkingjoecomics Also with news of Joshua Williamson leaving DC. I really hope Skybound gets him back to do more stories in the Energon universe. I’d be quite interested in how he’d do a Snake Eyes or Storm Shadow miniseries since he worked on Batman.
