Joe and the Transformers just happened to intersect.  While not garnering as much critical or popular attention as their Dreamwave counterparts, these two series still brought to life a number of meetings previously only dreamed about; as well, Vol. 2 introduced Transformers fans to the art of [[E.J.

Devil's Due Press, formerly an in-house arm of Image Comics, broke off on its own in 2003. Its primary success at the time was the relaunch of the G.I. Joe comic book series in 2001. That series continued the continuity established in the old Marvel G.I. Joe comic, while eschewing the links to Transformers that it contained. However, Devil's Due did produce a Transformers crossover series in the form of several miniseries set in a fresh, unique new universe. The second of these minis featured the art of E. J. Su, who would later become the main penciler on IDW's original Transformers series.
