Whenever I see the title "Void Rivals," I imagine two dude having a pooping contest, and I'm glad that's not what this book is about.

EN I found this volume noticeably slower-paced than the previous ones. For much of the reading, it felt like the author was going around in circles without making any significant progress in the story. There’s a clear slowdown in the plot — perhaps an attempt to stretch the narrative further.
We once again see the Cobra-La organization, reinforcing the connection with the GI Joe franchise, but I still don’t find this group particularly interesting or engaging.
That said, many of the elements I enjoyed in the earlier volumes are still present. While it was a solid read, it didn’t excite me as much as the previous chapters.

PT Achei este volume consideravelmente mais lento do que os anteriores. Durante grande parte da leitura, tive a sensação de que o autor andava um pouco às voltas, sem fazer avanços significativos na narrativa. Nota-se um claro abrandamento do enredo — talvez uma tentativa de prolongar a história por mais tempo.
Temos novamente a presença da organização Cobra-La, que reforça a ligação com a franquia GI Joe, mas continuo a não achar este grupo particularmente interessante ou cativante.
Apesar disso, muitos dos elementos que me agradaram nos volumes anteriores mantêm-se aqui presentes. Ainda que tenha sido uma leitura competente, não me entusiasmou tanto como os capítulos anteriores.

Finally, all the pieces are starting to fall into place.
I love how Void Rivals neatly integrates Transformers and G.I. Joe into the storyline.

When Void Rivals first launched, leading to the creation of Skybound Entertainment’s Energon Universe, it didn’t have a great start as it felt like creators Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici were trying to put their own spin on one of Image’s most successful titles, Saga, whilst sprinkling the Easter eggs that will delight the Transformers fans. However, by the second volume, Void Rivals had upped its game with a main narrative that better showcases the world-building that makes great use of the Cybertronian lore without feeling like fan service.
As we are now in the third volume, there are a lot of chess pieces that Kirkman is playing around with, especially when there is more connective tissue going on with the wider Energon Universe. Introduced in the Cobra Commander miniseries, Pythona and her soldiers from Cobra-La venture deep into space, where they encounter the likes of Skuxxoid, who continues to be a delight as he just wants to support his wife and kids.
With so many supporting characters roaming around, such as Proximus going through quite the promotion whilst the Quintessons are preparing to exact their revenge, the book can be too unwieldy with the amount of storytelling going on. One big hook of the book that is lacking in this volume is the central relationship of Solila and Darak, who in their pursuit to finding the truth of the Sacred Ring, as well as stopping the manipulating war between their planets Agorria and Zertonia, they must go their separate ways.
However, seeing the two leads on their own separate arcs, we get some revelations, both personal and world-shattering. Seen as a disappointment by his own father Minister Dulin, Darak returns to Agorria and confronts him about what he knows about the conspiracy of the war between the two homeworlds. Whilst we get a nice reunion between the two Autobots Hot Rod and Springer, Darak’s own perspective towards his father who has his own revelations to share, does shake up where his allegiance lies.
A lot of the fun banter here is actually between Solila and Darak’s Handroid, both of which spend most of the volume is pitch-black darkness. But this is also where Void Rivals drops its biggest bomb, establishing the connection between the Sacred Ring and Cyberton, which goes way back to when the Transformers were fighting from being enslaved by the Quintessons. As well as expanding on the lore than we have seen so far in Daniel Warren Johnson’s Transformers run, there is also a new big bad that could huge repercussions for not only Void Rivals, but the rest of the Energon Universe. And for once, it’s not Unicron.
While you get nice visual callbacks to the Transformers: Generation 1 toy line, the pleasure of Void Rivals from an artistic standpoint is Lorenzo De Felici presents the alien world-building, with each race and their own technological designs. De Felici’s action sequences can look rough around the edges, but along with Patricio Delpeche’s vibrant colouring, each setting has its own mood and gives you an idea on where you are and not get lost in the cosmos.
With a lot of moving parts, it does suggest Void Rivals could be heading towards some climax, which could lead to something seismic for the Energon Universe. As for this volume alone, when it focuses on our two leads and their pursuit of the truth, leading to some world-building revelations along the way, it’s great.

"While he feasted, I plotted."

More fun in this world and universe. Darak listens to his farther and may be changing his tune. The final pages present and interesting conflict that should take shape in the next volume. This has really impressed me and is becoming one of the more enjoyable and consistent books I am reading.

La relació de Darak amb el seu pare sembla més tensa que mai i que haja portat fins a Agòrria un alienígena -suposadament aliat- no ajuda. Solila arriba a les profunditats de l'Anell Sagrat i es desvelen grans secrets i grans poders; mentre Zertònia cau en el caos. A l'espai, diverses faccions semblen interessades en el que ocorre a l'Anell, amb foscos interessos. Volum clau, amb relevelacions crítiques sobre Zerta i l'origen de l'Anell Sagrat. Bon guió, amb una trama de ciència ficció que enganxa, i un dibuix correcte.

this volume didn't really do a whole lot overall, but it did give an idea of where the main story is going and that was very exciting
June 10, 2025
With Void Rivals, Energon Universe architect Robert Kirkman gets a ton of free rein on how to flesh out the wider universe of stories. With The Key to Vector Theta, the various loose narrative threads spread out from Transformers and G.I. Joe are beginning to converge, whilst Kirkman continues to build up the story of Darak and Solila, two members of rival space factions separated by a monstrous gaping void between their respective settlements.
In this volume, Darak and Solila find themselves working their own missions, all in the service of obtaining unity between the warring Agorrians and Zertonians. Darak spends most of this volume trying to lobby his father into accepting unity, but Minister Dulin reveals to Darak the purpose behind the split with the two factions. Simultaneously, Solila works to seek out Zerta Trion, an ancient Cybertronian being that has since become revered as an almost godlike entity. The two storylines build up answers for each other, making this volume a source of revelation for the series thus far.
Ending on a bit of an open ended cliffhanger, the series seems to be building up to a major climax/crossover that takes into account the increasing number of factions involved. It's unclear if the the stories from Daniel Warren Johnson's Transformers and Joshua Williamson's G.I. Joe will play a role in the events of the next arc of Void Rivals, but it does seem like Kirkman is engineering a pretty ambitious storyline soon.

Cobra-La (from G.I. Joe: The Movie) and more lesser-known G1 cartoon lore gets pulled into the mix, which probably contributes to a general slowdown in plot advancement. Still, there are more interesting developments, even with the lost momentum. (I do wonder if Kirkman lost interest in the Skuxxoid, though.) (B+)
August 4, 2025
The plot of G.I. Joe Cobra Commander ties into this volume, as agents of Cobra-la are sent to find the world of Cybertron.
Solila and handroid are delving deeper into the inner ring, with some funny banter along the way. Darak confronts his father.

I'm just enjoying the sci Fi of this world created. I don't think I understand all the TRANSFORMERS parts but it doesn't bother me that they are there. A world that wants to unite would be a welcome change today.

We get kind of lost in the miasma of Sci-Fi jargon with this one. It's a similar kind of waffle you can find in any bargain bin Dune rip off. The kicker with this one, though? It's got 2 of my favourite robots in it, so we're instantly back on side.
We're back on the search for a secret order than know the true meaning of the world, but there's obstructions at every turn by governments and armies the world over. The 6 issues that make up this volume really feel like filler before we (hopefully) get to a real kick-off in the next volume
Void Rivals definitely has its place in the Energon universe, but I can't help but think it's starting to overstay it's welcome. With Kirkman moving across to Transformers soon, hopefully, we can see the fat trimmed in Void Rivals.

Well shoot.
After a second read, I have a few more thoughts. Only a few. More transformers lore is always great, and it’s an interesting one in comparison to others. I’m excited to learn more at some point… This volume continues to deliver in super interesting characters and plot, and even though mysteries are starting to be solved, there’s plenty more to continue things on.

It's nice to see this becoming more connected to the Joe & Transformer stories, but at the same time it is losing some of it's own face.

The Energon Universe is cooking up something really special. It's been a slow build but Kirkman is finally pulling back the curtain to show us how "Void Rivals" connects to the bigger puzzle that is the Energon Universe. It was so cool seeing characters that I have known since childhood showing up in this book. So many fond memories of Hot Rod & the Quintessons. Could Unicron be coming to the Energon Universe? But along with the incredible Easter eggs Kirkman & crew have placed all the important pieces on the board and you really get a better feeling on what the big story is going to be pulling forward. Solila & Darak have finally uncovered the secret of there warring culture's history but the truth may lead them to a bright unified people or to a disastrous apocalypse. It looks like the Transformers Cybertronian War has not just come to Earth but it be coming to the Void as well. With the factions of GI Joe's enemy Cobra getting into the mix, we know it's going to be a wild ride. I am a big fan of Space Opera and placing one in the universe of Transformers & GI Joe is a welcomed pleasure. Kirkman is getting real comfortable with the world building and the artwork is working well with the story. I can't wait to read Transformers Vol. 3: Combiner Chaos and see what's happening with the Autobots on Earth. The Energon Universe deserves all the hype it is getting. Every comic fan should be reading Transformers, GI Joe & of course Void Rivals. This book ends with Solila & Darak in a dire situation and the stakes could not be any higher. It you have not jumped into the Energon Universe I'd recommend reading these volumes to get you started: Transformers, Vol. 1: Robots in Disguise, Duke, Vol. 1: Knowing is Half the Battle, Void Rivals, Vol. 1: More than Meets the Eye,Cobra Commander, Vol. 1: Determined to Rule the World , &Energon Universe FCBD 2024 Special.

Yep, I did indeed just plow through another volume that soon. I’m addicted to this series.
I’m almost positive Goliant will end up becoming Unicron… and that the entire Sacred Ring is Unicron, or part of him. Calling it now. (I just hope we get Primus!)
Oh! Right, this isn’t the Transformer book. Right.
I’m somewhat surprised I enjoyed their journey apart as much as I did. Even though this is volume three, it feels like a follow-through on the Empire Strikes Backness of volume two. I expected I’d wish they could be back together to interact, since that was the bread and butter of the series up to that point. It did extremely well at remolding itself onto a new path. It… transformed... And rolled ou—
I’m loving the Energon mythology shaping this whole universe, it was not an arbitrary name for this continuity.
My only negative this time is that I wish I didn’t feel as lost with the Cobrala stuff. I know that’s G.I.Joe, I haven’t read that yet but I plan to. And… I’m totally lost as of right now. I think I could read this without Transformers and not be confused at all, and vice versa. But somehow, of all the connections, the one I need the other material just to understand what’s happening is G.I.Joe?? We’re in space!
Especially since they don’t really do much this volume (and because of that I kinda regret getting the cover with her on it, I didn’t know there was one with my boy Hot Rod! haha), I think that’s the biggest misstep this series has made so far. But I’d say that’s balanced out with how awesome Zerta Trion’s flashback was, and I’m still rating this exactly on par with both previous volumes. It’s a stunningly consistent series — that still feels like one big 400-page omnibus more so than three trades; I’m told that’s the Kirkman way, and I’m okay with that.

POPKULTUROWY KOCIOŁEK: W trzecim tomie Void Rivals widać jak Robert Kirkman przestawia kolejne elementy swojej układanki. Coraz więcej elementów łączy się z szerszym Energon Universe. Wprowadzona w miniserii Cobra Commander Pythona wraz ze swoimi żołnierzami z Cobra-La zapuszcza się głęboko w kosmos, wracamy do Solili i Daraka, a swoją, jakże ważną obecność zaznaczają też Autoboty.
Znów pierwsze skrzypce w komiksie grają Solila i Darak. Obserwując ich wątki, dostajemy istotne rewelacje. Darak wraca do Agorrii i konfrontuje się z ojcem w sprawie prawdy o spisku stojącym za wojną między światami. Solila jest już bardzo blisko realizacji celu swojej misji, odnajdując Zertę. Nie dochodzimy jednak do tych odpowiedzi szybko. Odpowiednio budowane jest napięcie, a poza tym bohaterów i innych wątków mamy tutaj naprawdę mnóstwo.
Wiele postaci drugoplanowych, sprawia, że komiks chwilami staje się przeładowany. Są momenty, gdy zostajemy wybici z rytmu. Jesteśmy blisko niektórych odpowiedzi, a Kirkman zwleka z ich ujawnieniem. Ma się wrażenie, że jesteśmy już blisko finału tej serii. Z drugiej strony, autor Void Rivals jednak nieraz już nas zaskakiwał....

This continues to be a somewhat muddy comic. There are so many characters in different places, often getting just a page here or there, that it's hard to keep track of it all. I figured out what was going on again by the end of the volume, but definitely not the start.
Withthat said, this one finally gives us the full story of the interactions of the Ring and the Transformers, and it feels like a great bit of connectivity. Also, it's terrific to see the Transformers mythology continuing to expand in new ways (and not just dependent on toys).
I would have liked to see our two protagonists together more, but hopefully in the future!

I am glad I stuck through the first 12 issues of this. I wasn't really enjoying the ride, however this volume we finally start getting answers to what is going on. This leads me to finally understanding why this is connected to Transformers outside of some easter egg species and character names. And, more importantly, I like the connections. All the Goliant and Unity talk is finally making sense.
Our main duo Darak and Solila are finaly connecting with me as well.
All in all, I really enjoyed this collection.

I really enjoyed the first volume of this series, but it seems that the more it ties into the Transformers universe, the worse (and dumber) it's getting. Way too many moving parts in this volume, with stuff happening all over the place. I really preferred the smaller focus on Darak and Solila (sp?), the two space captains from different warring planets who discover just how alike they really are. Would prefer more of that story than all this other stuff (Cobra-la? Huh?). The art continues to be decent and is certainly easier to follow than in Oblivion Song.
June 16, 2025
Oooh answers! We like answers!
Solila and Darak both get closer to the truth of the Sacred Ring, while the Transformers begin to play a bigger role in the proceedings, and the forces of Cobra-La are on the march as well. Lots of movement, and I'm certain things are about to explode in all the best (and worst) ways. I'm thinking that both the Zertonians and the Agorrians only have half the story, and the actual truth will be something different to what both sides are expecting. Compelling stuff.

September 9, 2025Keeping the leads apart for most of this volume inevitably saps some of the energy, and spending time with some of the goofiest GI Joe characters doesn't help get it back. But I suspect the heart of the problem is that we start getting answers to the big mysteries, and fundamentally, while I'm prepared to accept regular Transformer interactions, any kind of big mythos reveal that isn't from either the eighties or the IDW comics isn't going to convince me as canon. On top of which, it's hard to take epic pretensions seriously in anything which refers to "a millennia".

Darak et Solila sont désormais séparés, le premier est de retour à Agorria pour convaincre son père le roi de faire la paix avec les zertoniens tandis que la seconde explore les trefonds de l'interzone à la recherche de la déesse Zeta...
Troisième tome pour Void Rivals de Robert Kirkman et Lorenzo De Felici. Toujours un plaisir de découvrir les intrigues et complots cosmique de l'Energon Universe, les connections avec le reste de l'univers Transformers se font d'ailleurs de plus forte notamment avec la présence des cybertroniens Hot Rod et Springer!

Interesting. We finally get to see how this book fits in with Cybertron and the Transformers. We've also got Cobra-La floating around in a meatship and it actually works pretty well. You can see through here how Kirkman is setting things up to all come to a head in a big crossover. I wonder how far out that is? After reading the letters page in issue #18, Lorenzo is leaving the book at the end of this arc and being replaced by Conor Hughes.
