During the ComicsPRO convention, Skybound revealed plans for an ongoing M.A.S.K. series integrated into its Energon Universe. The work will be written by Dan Watters and feature art by Pye Parr. Revive the 80s franchise, following Matt Trakker and his team, who use masks and transformable vehicles to face global crises. Their goal is to stop Miles Mayhem and V.E.N.O.M., who seek alien weapons for commercial purposes.
Transformable Technology and Narrative in the Energon Universe ⚙️
The series is based on the technology of the Masks and vehicles that change modes, a mechanical concept that requires clear visual design. Pye Parr faces the challenge of illustrating these transformations fluidly within the action. Integration into the Energon Universe implies technological coherence with other properties of the imprint, where alien technology is a narrative resource. The plot promises to explore the origins of this technology and Trakker's past secrets, adding layers of depth to the central conflict.
V.E.N.O.M.: the Villainous Alien Sales Venture 💼
In a twist that reflects a certain market mentality, the V.E.N.O.M. organization does not seek classic world domination, but a business model based on the resale of extraterrestrial artifacts. One imagines Miles Mayhem discussing profit margins and shipping logistics, instead of delivering monologues about absolute power. It seems that even evil must adapt to the modern economy, where a weapon of unknown origin is, first and foremost, a product with its spec sheet and warranty.
