Revolutionaries #1, the New Series Out Today

[Antarctica]

The Joe are the Earth Defense Command. + the History of Universe.

Continuing the mini series Revolution, Revolutionaries #1 has GI Joe completely integrated as the leaders of the Earth Defense Command. And this series will tell of their missions regarding Transformers being on Earth.

Also the Optimus Prime series has GI Joe characters acting within the Earth Defense Command completely mixing with the human characters of the Transformers stories. It truly is one universe with Marissa and Dashiell Faireborn playing big roles in the fight with and against the Transformers. But no direct connection has been made between YET. But they both appear in the same issue for the first time ever.

With the GI Joe team in charge of the Earth Defense Command, but its previous members fill the ranks with field commander Talon aka Zilong Qian along with Sam Witwicky, Sanjay Bharwaney and Marissa Fairborn all make appearances. Chameleon of the GI Joe Cobra series makes her return. And if you don't know any of those names then look in the Notes section of Optimus Prime #2 for links to find out who they are. If your reading the Optimus Prime series they will very likely be key characters to get to know.


Revolution takes place in the "IDW Continuity", which is the continuity that was started by IDW in 2009 (not the ARAH comics Larry Hama currently writes). Also for all of the Transformers series, the "IDW Transformers Generation 1" continuity, which began in 2005, is now directly connected to GI Joe through the Revolution crossover. GI Joe characters will be appearing directly in many of these crossover titles.
