As much as it would seem that supernatural universes, zombies, and Cthulu would blend with G.I. Joe as effectively as oil and water, somehow the creative folks behind the two landmark series’ have managed to make it work, and work exceptionally well.
Flawlessly integrating these very other worldly ideas into the hyper-realistic world of IDW’s G.I. Joe universe is no small feat, yet Mike Raicht has done it with flash and flair, showing an amazing ability to use fan favorite characters and obscure characters alike in very unique, yet true ways.
The guys from A Real American Hero.com spoke with Mike Raicht about his work with the G.I. Joe world, and it is an incredibly interesting interview. Kudos to ARAH.com for making it happen.

Yeah. This guy gets it. His books were awesome for what they were. Even not caring that much about the zombie or Cthulu themes the little bits of characterization and fresh new look at things was VERY engaging. I dare say he did more characterization in 2 issues than Dixon has managed his entire GIJoe run so far.
