G.I. Joe: Retaliation prequel comic preview online at Comics Alliance

If you’re anything like me, you’re absolutely dying for G.I. Joe: Retaliation news or info.  Well, next week we should be getting our first look at the G.I. Joe: Retaliation universe courtesy of IDW’s prequel series, which hits comic stores on Wednesday.

If you’re impatient like I am, good news!  Comics Alliance has posted the five-page preview to the series, which catapults you right into a air battle between G.I. Joe and the Red Ninjas!  This initial adventure apparently takes place “several years ago…”  I do sincerely hope the entire 4-issue limited series doesn’t take place “several years ago” because I was hoping for some bridging between Rise of Cobra and Retaliation.  I guess time will tell.

I won’t mirror all the images here, instead you should hit up Comics Alliance for the awesome preview, and be sure to get to your local comic store on Wednesday to buy the full issue and start your G.I. Joe: Retaliation adventures!

Five Page Preview of IDW Snake Eyes #10

We just had a week of no new Joe titles at comic stores, and it was a weird feeling.  Seems like almost every week there’s something hitting stores, and now things are back to status quo.  IDW is releasing two G.I. Joe issues to stores on Wednesday, February 1st, and we’ve got five page previews for both below.

Five Page Preview for IDW’s G.I. Joe: Cobra #9

Cobra Command Part 3 is here, within the pages of Cobra #9.  Written by Mike Costa with art by Alex Cal, it looks like it will fit in seamlessly with the previous parts of this edge-of-your-seat series.

Check out the 5-Page Preview below, the issue hits on Wednesday.

Cobra Ongoing #9

“Cobra Command,” Part Three! As the takeover of a foreign nation by the new Cobra Commander continues, we follow other members of Cobra High Command who are not as amenable to the new Commander as they first seemed.
