San Diego, CA (February 1, 2018) \u2013 The fan-favorite mashup of toy box essentials, Hasbro\u2019s TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE were given a unique, critically acclaimed comic book series published by IDW that took readers by surprise. In a series unlike anything that had come before it,\u00a0Tom Scioli<\/strong>\u2019s unique storytelling brought the elaborate settings and battles of childhood imaginations to the comic page. Now, at last, the complete series is available in a deluxe hardcover collection;\u00a0Transformers vs. G.I. Joe: The Quintessential Collection<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Heavily influenced by the \u201cking of comics,\u201d Jack Kirby, Scoili\u2019s sense of design and aesthetic along with\u00a0Transformers\u00a0<\/em>veteran co-writer\u00a0John Barber\u00a0<\/strong>won over critics and fans alike; with CBR calling it \u201cTruly unlike anything else on stands right now, Barber and Scioli have made\u00a0Transformers vs. G.I. Joe<\/em>\u00a0one of the most fascinating books on shelves today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Collecting all 13 issues of the maxi-series along with the debut #0 issue appearing on Free Comic Book Day 2015, plus the bonkers\u00a0Transformers vs. G.I. Joe<\/em>\u00a0The Movie Adaptation<\/em>, this hardcover collection has it all. Back matter includes page-by-page commentary by Scoili and Barber for each issue, along with a complete cover gallery!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s the hardest I’ve ever worked,\u201d says Scioli. \u201cThere’s blood on those pages. I gave everything I had to give. Go from T.H.E. P.I.T. to Cybertron and back again. Read the comic that inspired the movie! I’m already nostalgic for it and you will be, too!\u201d<\/p>\n

Transformers vs. G.I. Joe: The Quintessential Collection\u00a0<\/em>is available now using ISBN: 978-1631408601.<\/p>\n

\u201cTom Scioli is a master in visual storytelling and it\u2019s never been more apparent here.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Multiversity Comics<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of those comics that overwhelms with the sheer creative energy on the page\u201d \u2013\u00a0The A.V. Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you’re a\u00a0Transformers<\/em>\u00a0fan, a\u00a0G.I. Joe<\/em>\u00a0fan, or just a fan of retro goodness, this is one for you.\u201d \u2013Comic Book Therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you asked me to pick my favorite comics of the year, there’s not even a question about it:\u00a0Transformers vs. G.I. Joe<\/em>\u00a0would be at the top of the list.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Comics Alliance<\/p>\n
