Background
After IDW Publishing lost the licenses to produce Transformers and G.I. Joe comics by the end of 2022, Hasbro announced in December 2021 that Skybound Entertainment, an imprint of Image Comics, would acquire those licenses.

Therefore, IDW's run of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, which was continued from the original run by Marvel Comics, ended with issue #300.

In June 2023, Skybound officially announced to have gained the license.

Development
Alongside the Energon Universe, which brings new G.I. Joe comics, Larry Hama continues writing A Real American Hero, starting from issue #301, where both the Marvel and IDW series left off. Chris Mooneyham is the series' artist, while Francesco Segala is the colorist. The series debuted on November 14, 2023.

Additionally, Skybound released G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #1 Larry Hama Cut, a reprint of the Marvel series' first issue, featuring Hama's original script, which was altered in the original print run. It was published on November 15, 2023.
