Jeff reports that Amazon.com has started an offer for a free exclusive comic with the purchase of $25 worth of G.I. Joe product from their online store. One look at the comic proves that it was the comic originally intended to be released with the Scuba Duke/Lamprey comic pack, and it could be a very neat read and a peek at something that didn’t end up getting published.
Written by Larry Hama, this continuity-vague book just focuses on telling a fun story the same way that many of the other Comic Pack stories did, while exploring these characters in a slightly different way. To see some details about this offer click here. The comic listing itself is here.
The features are as follows:
- Introducing an all-new G.I. JOE™ adventure – inspired by the classic 1980s stories, and with a fresh, contemporary twist!
- The legendary Larry Hama is back with a never-before-published story featuring some of your favorite characters.
- Whether you’re a fan from way back, or just discovering the thrill of G.I. JOE vs. COBRA™, this adventure will keep you on the edge of your seat!
- Exclusive Duke comic book – only at Amazon!
- Don’t miss the new GI Joe movie!

Fans of Transformers and G.I. Joe will be able to experience the two great tastes that taste great together all in one panel. IDW has announced that they will be holding a “G.I. Joe/Transformers Crossover” panel at SDCC, Friday at noon. Special guests Robert Atkins, Flint Dille, and Mike Costa will be available for info and questions!
So does this mean that there will actually be a crossover comic happening? Or are they just tying both properties together into one panel? Time will tell…

by generalsjoes | Jul 10, 2009 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe Comics, G.I. Joe Video Game, G.I. Joe: The Movie, IDW
Another little tidbit I got in my box of goodies was a comic book that looks to be the one that comes with the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA video game. There are only seven pages of new story in it, and these pages were also featured in Issue #1 of the Rise of COBRA movie adaptation, but I haven’t seen much chatter about it, so I figured I’d bring some attention to it. Maybe it’s just because I love the Marvel Comics character “Taskmaster” so much, but Helix is really resonating with me. I love the character, I love her look, and I really like the concept a lot. She’s apparently going to be a fairly core component of the upcoming video game (which really excites me), but I hope she kind of indoctrinates into the regular IDW universe as well. Perhaps the Helix special being released in August will touch on that a bit.
The story basically involves General Hawk giving Duke a rundown of her abilities as we watch some video of her in action…then he finishes the story by saying that they believe COBRA has her, which I would imagine leads directly into the video game itself.
Here are some of the panels below…a pretty good read, even for only a few pages.
