Next week, Tom Scioli and John Barber's Transformers vs. GI Joe finally proves itself to be too good for this fallen world when it comes to a senses-shattering conclusion. But just so nobody forgets that it's the best thing going, they're going out with the scene I've been waiting to see since the whole thing began: Laird James McCullen Destro XXIV, he of the wrist-rockets, the high collar and the Beryllium Steel mask, is stepping into the spotlight for an all-out slugfest against the Joes --- and it's all taking place on Megatron's head while he tries to eat the sun.

If you have to go out, go out with the biggest possible bang. Check out a preview below!

One particularly interesting thing about this issue: As the credits page and the background of Hawk and Destro's fistfight indicates, this issue finds Scioli drawing on the long history of Transformers and GI Joe for homages.
