Well, here we go!  Yesterday I posted a review of G.I. Joe: Cobra #13, somewhat lamenting the end of that run, as we prepare to launch into another.  Well, IDW has released the solicitations for May, 2011, and the next run is now in sight.  Judging by the solicitations, it looks like it could be quite the run!
I am absolutely loving these Zack Howard covers, I’ll tell you that right now.  Totally cool.  A character totally out of left field, and another one who I’m not entirely sure about at all.
