IDW has released the solicitations for their titles coming in the month of December, including the normal wealth of G.I. Joe goodness. Just a quick glimpse shows some very cool stuff, I think. Agent Helix… and man, that Rod Whigham cover with Hawk and Storm Shadow? That’s some pure old school goodness right there.

Phil Kost over at JoeReloaded.com had a chance to talk with Andy Schmidt and got together a fantastic Q & A session with the IDW editor who is responsible for nearly all of the G.I. Joe books produced.
The conversation ranges from the ARAH continuation by Larry Hama, to the status of the Trade Paperbacks, and touches on many new projects that are waiting in the wings.
Check out the full Q & A session right here!
Along with the aforementioned Baroness focused episode, Hasbro has also posted the 8th installment of G.I. Joe: Operation: HISS, this time featuring a showdown of Storm Shadow vs…. Kamakura?! Sweet. Love seeing those somewhat obscure Joes getting their due.
And yeah, as much as the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra video game didn’t inspire much love among the fandom, I did enjoy the costumes they used (a neat mixture of the movie themed Reactive Armor, and some more toy-centric colors). Since these are obviously the same models they used for the video game, it’s neat to see Kamakura sporting those togs here, too.
Check out the episode right here, and I’ve mirrored some images below.

So, let me get this straight. Mike Costa and Christos Gage have actually introduced and used the characters Croc Master, Golobulus, Serpentor, and Venomous Maximus before Storm Shadow even makes an appearance in the IDW universe?
It’s hilarious…it’s awesome…and it’s a testament to the quality of these writers because they make it work.

It’s Tuesday, which means new comic day is tomorrow, and we’ve got a 5-page preview for the latest installment of the fantastic G.I. Joe: Cobra book that hits comic shops. If you told me that a comic which placed a focus on characters like Croc Master and Venomous Maximus (!!11!!??) would do sell with such intense conviction, I would have thought you were nuts. But Mike Costa and Christos Gage seem to be doing the impossible. The next character on their slate is Skullbuster as we take what is sure to be a fascinating look at what it takes to become a Cobra Range-Viper.
To wet your appetite, here are the first five pages of the 8th issue.

No guarantees, but the Twitter Page for the Hub has posted the following information:
“In anticipation of 10.10.10, we’re live-tweeting our media lunch today feat. Margaret Loesch, President & CEO of The Hub. Stay tuned!”
I’ll be keeping a close eye on their Twitter feed to see if anything of consequence is talked about. 10-10 is coming up quick, let’s hope things get moving.
