Duke Volume 1 : Knowing Is Half the Battle

For Fans of Human Target by Tom King and Department of Truth by James Tynion IV, DUKE is a paranoid conspiracy thriller set in the world of G.I. Joe and part of Skybound’s Energon Universe.

Codename G.I. Joe begins here.

Conrad Hauser made first contact with an alien being and lived to tell the tale. But no one, not even Colonel Hawk, will believe the story of the colossal transforming robot that nearly killed the man known as Duke.

Now, one of the US Army’s most decorated officers is on the hunt for answers, drawn into a conflict that no amount of training could ever prepare him for. A war that only a real American hero has any chance of surviving…

Superstar writer Joshua Williamson (Superman, Batman) and artist Tom Reilly kick off the first of four action-packed miniseries that will introduce the best and worst humanity has to offer in the Energon Universe.
