IDW has posted their solicitations for July, 2010, including a very healthy selection of G.I. Joe related titles. Alongside the mainstream G.I. Joe book, G.I. Joe: Origins, and G.I. Joe: Cobra, we now have G.I. Joe: Hearts & Minds by Max Brooks, and the very fun looking G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #156! Larry Hama returns again.- A few things I’m looking forward to… Zartan’s IDW origin promises to be pretty cool. Seeing Serpentor come to life in G.I. Joe: Cobra should also be neat.
