Has hell frozen over? One might think so, given Marvel Comics' recent back-to-back announcements of long-sought reprints of the publisher's cult classic Rom: Space Knight and Micronauts titles of the '70s and '80s. That unexpected development has raised the question of whether Marvel might also soon be able to reprint its beloved GI Joe and Transformers comics of the '80s and '90s.
Like Rom and Micronauts, both GI Joe and Transformers are licensed from toy maker Hasbro who had exclusively licensed the comic book rights for those properties to IDW Publishing for decades.
