Straight from IDW, here is a list of solicitations coming from IDW next February. As usual there are a ton of G.I. Joe comics hitting stores that month, ranging from the old school to the next generation. While I wasn’t wild about Agent Helix’s debut in the most recent issue of G.I. Joe, I still look forward to seeing her story evolve…and what the heck is up with “Dark Snake Eyes”? Can we have a stretch of the “Real American Hero” that doesn’t include brainwashing?
While many folks will probably think I’m giddy about the Renegades comics, I’m pretty sure they’re just comic rehashes of cartoon episodes, so no thriller there, in my mind, but I’ll still grab ’em I’m sure.
Check out the full run of issues at the “Read the rest of this entry” link below.
