Skybound’s Transformers #13 Gets Second Printing While #1 Points and Laughs

It’s no secret that Skybound’s new Energon Universe line of Transformers comics have been a hit. But just how big a hit have they been?

Well, according to a report from Bleeding Cool, the recent release of Transformers #13, which delves into the history of the Decepticon Air Commander known to us as Starscream and how he came to become a part of the Decepticons and the war at large, will be receiving its second print run. That’s due to be available on December 11th, with two variant covers by Jason Howard (one Autobot, one Decepticon), for $3.99 USD a pop. So get your orders in now!

Meanwhile, the issue that started it all — well, not all, because Void Rivals came out first — but the issue that kicked off the Transformers line, Transformers #1, is back for its tenth reprinting! By the Matrix, that’s a lot of reprints!

And a lot of cover variants! Available for the slightly-higher price tag of $4.99 USD each, the prevailing logic at Skybound and Image Comics must have been “Ten reprints? Ten variant covers.” Because that’s how many they’re releasing one week after #13 hits again, on December 18th. Start rolling those nickels now!

Bleeding Cool doesn’t have the images, but here are the details for each of the covers they shared:

Wow. You could probably make a small quilt from all those covers. It probably wouldn’t be a very good quilt, mind, especially in the middle of December, but you could do it!
