The Target: Snake Eyes event continues, which looks to wrap up the current iteration of the IDW G.I. Joe edition until 2013. There will likely be a final wrap up, but somewhat ominously, when new writer Fred Van Lente was asked where Snake Eyes was in the next step of IDW’s G.I. Joe evolution, he simply said “Read Snake Eyes’ book“.
So, what do you think, kids? Something drastic coming? Check out the preview below as we hurdle closer to a potential universe-defining event in Target: Snake Eyes!

TARGET: SNAKE EYES part four! Is the mission to bring down the Arashikage Clan a matter of national security or a private vendetta for SCARLETT? And, when it comes to a life or death battle with SNAKE EYES, who will walk away? The answers lie here in the most game-changing, controversial G.I. JOE storyline this year!

The next evolution of G.I. Joe comics is upon us, and the solicitations for February, 2013 reflect this new shift. With no new monthly Cobra or Snake Eyes titles, the IDW universe officially moves on to 2013 and beyond with the first issues of Special Missions and the Cobra Files hitting in March and April respectively.
Check out what we can expect from the new G.I. Joe #1 as well as G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #187 after the jump.

THE FUTURE OF OUR GI JOE COMIC OFFERINGS
—————————————-
Over the last year we’ve noticed a significant decline in sales of our
GI JOE comic book offerings. We can speculate as to why (digital offerings,
the economy, changing collector demographics, etc.) but in the end we must
make a decision regarding whether or not this is a service that you, our
customer, is still interested in.
The GI JOE comic book offerings have been more or less a break-even
affair for us for a number of years but we have continued to offer the
books to support what we feel is a very important part of GI JOE’s
mythology. Nevertheless, we’re dealing with a what appears to be a
prevailing trend of disinterest. Also, there are some questionable
change-ups by IDW for the GI JOE comics in 2013 and we would be remiss in
not mentioning the perpetual service problems with Diamond Comic Distributors
(this is the most tactful way we can put that).
At the end of the year we’ll be making the decision as to whether to
continue offering the GI JOE comics. We’re asking all customers who
are interested in seeing this service continue to please step in and pick
up the issues you’re missing in the next six weeks. Our sales of the books
between now and December 31st will indicate to us if this is still a useful
offering for you.

With IDW’s reconfiguration of their slate of G.I. Joe titles next year, new writer Fred Van Lente has been making the rounds (including a written interview on GeneralsJoes and appearing on Episode 69 of What’s on Joe Mind). Today, uber-geek Brian Truitt from USA Today posted a terrific look at the new upcoming IDW G.I. Joe title, with the first look at some exclusive cover art.
Along with Steve Kurth’s regular cover we see a spectacular variant cover by Arthur Adams as well as a great looking team shot by Jamal Igle.
We get some more great details about what life is like for this new G.I. Joe team and how the new events impact them. There are more and more indications that Snake Eyes is at least taking a break from the spotlight here, which I think is a very bold and very cool move.
Check out the article at USA Today, and I’ve mirrored a couple of the variant covers below. If you like the Baroness art by Arthur Adams, make sure to hit up his website and order the print! It’s only ten bucks and it looks fantastic.
Big thanks as always to Brian Truitt for continuing to give G.I. Joe some high profile publicity. Joe fans love ya, Brian. Make sure you’re following him on Twitter for the latest geek news and intel from USA Today.
