Notes
- Skybound was announced in late 2021 to be in negotiations for Hasbro comic licenses[1] ahead of previous licensee IDW Publishing confirming in early 2022 that their license was ending.[2] Their acquisition of the license was eventually confirmed on June 10, 2023, thanks to a promotional artwork poster posted from a comic shop to Tumblr,[3] shortly before Void Rivals #1 went on sale on June 14, 2023.
- At San Diego Comic-Con 2023, Kirkman stated that Skybound eventually plans to reprint material from previous publishers such as Marvel Comics and IDW.
