I had to work out a special… “deal” with Robert, but now that the deal is taken care of, I am allowing his name to be mentioned on GeneralsJoes again. 😀
Over on his awesome blog page, the IDW G.I. Joe cover artist has showcased some more G.I. Joe art, specifically a beautiful Scarlett piece drawn by him and colored by Simon Gough, and also a nice little snippet of a Snow Job piece which is apparently part of a much bigger project.
Interesting…

And wow is it looking GOOD. Knowing the guys behind the Canadian JoeCon like I do, I’m sure they are absolutely giddy about having a guy like Atkins draw their hand-made characters, and deservedly so. A fantastic cover. LOVE Atkin’s Black Ice. The cover was colored by Simon Gough, and you can check it out at JoeCanuck.com.
The final cover can be seen below:
Now, not only do we get to see this fantastic cover, but as has become custom, Robert Atkins took to his terrific blog and gave us some fantastic in progress shots of creating this cover. Hit up the links below to check out Robert Atkins talking about creating this fantastic cover:
Soooo good.

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.
Check out the interview right here.

Maybe I’m just not paying close enough attention, but I don’t think Chuck Dixon gives many interviews, so when he does, they are usually pretty interesting, and the latest with Comic Book Resources is no different.
Mr. Dixon gives some really interesting perspective about how differently he has to handle the G.I. Joe universe when compared to Larry Hama, and how he is working to make the IDW universe stand apart from what we’ve seen in the past. It’s a long and very insightful talk with the current writer of G.I. Joe as well as Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
Check it out at Comic Book Resources. Thanks to Twitter buds Mysterious Stranger and Kord for the information!

That headline makes me far happier than I care to admit.
After a pre-order showed up on Amazon, I think we all knew this was a done deal, but getting the official press release in my email box still put a big ass smile on my face. Shout! Factory is releasing the complete first season (and thus, the complete series) of G.I. Joe: Renegades on Blu-Ray! Available for the first time (for most folks) in high definition, this collection gathers all 26 episodes of the landmark animated series, which was cut down far too soon.
