While the Operation: HISS animated short left quite a bit to be desired, I think fans of the Rise of Cobra universe have at least a little more enthusiasm for the upcoming IDW Mini-Series that takes place after the events in the motion picture. Hopefully they’ll explain some inconsistencies (like how Storm Shadow is still alive, and why Cobra is still such a threat with Destro, Cobra Commander, and Baroness all behind bars) and give the fans some more… “mature” action. The preview itself looks like the same comic we got with the Electronic Arts video game, but obviously with 4 issues to work with, it’ll branch out more from there.
Check out the preview below!

Thanks to ComicNewsInternational for the heads up, here’s a list of upcoming IDW G.I. Joe books due for release in May, 2010. Some cool new additions including Hearts and Minds #1, featuring Major Bludd and Spirit. As if that wasn’t enough Major Bludd action, the new Operation: HISS book features him heavily as well.

Tomorrow is new comics day, but even better, tomorrow is new G.I. Joe: COBRA comics day! Yay!
Easily my favorite G.I. Joe themed comic in the last 13 years, Costa and Gage continue to hammer it out of the park with their unique film noir style, excellent dialog, and no holds barred action. But anyone who knows me knows that I love seeing some obscure characters get attention, and they are doing that as well! Issue #1 already gave us Croc Master…Issue #2 brings Chameleon on board (though, I did it first… :shifty: ) and we’ve been promised Crystal Ball and even Serpentor. Normally this would make me cringe, but I have the utmost faith in these guys, they’ve only done awesome things so far. Below you’ll find a 5-page preview of this latest issue of G.I. Joe: Cobra II, and I know I’ll be practically waiting at the comic store for it to arrive.

There have been several scattered stories about this week already concerning IDW’s G.I. Joe titles, but instead of spending all sorts of real estate talking about each one individually, I figured I’d recap a bit.
- Comic Book Resources has posted a great interview with G.I. Joe: Origins creative team Marc Andreyko and Ben Templesmith. They focus much of their attention on G.I. Joe: Origins #12, which hit today and features The Baroness. A great read!
- Speaking of G.I. Joe: Origins #12, we already have two reviews of this latest issue, posted at The Terror Drome and Panels on Pages respectively.
Last, but not least, IDW has announced that G.I. Joe: COBRA II #1 has sold out at retail! They are currently working on issuing a second printing, with a special exclusive cover…check out the full press release after the jump!

One of the core characters of the G.I. Joe mythos (and Rise of Cobra detractors would argue she became a bit overly “core”) The Baroness has had a ton of screen time, but surprisingly, her backstory is still somewhat of a blank slate. We know about her brother, and her history with Snake Eyes, but we don’t know a whole lot past that. Well, in this new IDW universe, they’re not crossing that bridge again, and we get a nice look at what makes The Baroness tick, even in this short preview.
