Phil over at JoeReloaded comes through again, this time with a five-page preview for the upcoming third issue of the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA movie adaptation.
BE WARNED! There are major spoilers in this 5-page preview! As such, I’m posting the actual images after the “jump”, or you can also check them out here.
I will say, I enjoyed the first issue of the adaptation, and the second two are looking really good as well. I’ve already been spoiled on the events in the film, but the way IDW is fleshing them out in comic form works really nicely.

The first arc of G.I. Joe: Origins has come and gone, and with the release of the fifth issue yesterday we apparently get some resolution and some progression into the formation of the G.I. Joe team. A couple of reviews have already hit the web, you can check them out below:
I wasn’t too high on this series when it first kicked off, but each issue has been an improvement over the last, and I really look forward to seeing how it all wraps up in Issue #5.

Phil Kost from JoeReloaded.com passes on the word that he’s posted 5-page previews for upcoming G.I. Joe issues from IDW. These two issues are slated to hit shelves next Wednesday. Check them out on JoeReloaded here and here, and also take a peek at the mirrors below. Keep in mind, of course, there may be movie-related spoilers in the 5-page preview for the movie adaptation. I think the thumbnails are small enough to prevent any real detail, but always keep that in mind.

ComicArtFans member Shane Simek has posted 8 pages of lineart from an unpublished #0 issue that eventually got dumped for the story IDW went with when the format of the Joe book changed in production.
With art by Robert Atkins and a story written by Larry Hama, some of the stuff looks a lot more retro in nature, with some really dramatic action sequences as well, especially for only an 8-page layout. Check out the great images right here.

Issue #6 for the much maligned main title of IDW’s G.I. Joe arrived on Wednesday, with some promises from Chuck Dixon that things would ramp up and get a bit more involved. Well, I’m happy to say that Chuck was right…let’s see if other sites agree:
My thoughts are below, after the jump…spoilers contained!

With Star Trek, Transformers, and G.I. Joe all getting the summer blockbuster treatment in 2009, Comic Book Resources took some time and spoke with Andy Schmidt, Editor for IDW Publishing on the challenges and opportunities working with three separate licenses that are all receiving a lot of outside attention this year. Mr. Schmidt also takes some time to speak about the Combat Heroes style kid’s book, “We Are G.I. Joe”. You can read the article here, I’ve also reprinted the G.I. Joe related content below.
A very different project, the “G.I. Joe Combat Heroes: We Are G.I. Joe” picture book, is a bit unusual for IDW. The book introduces the heroic Joes and villains of Cobra to young readers, much as “Transformers: I am Optimus Prime” did for the Autobots and Decepticons. “[Writing ‘We Are G.I. Joe’] was a lot of fun. I hope that kids and parents alike enjoy it,” Schmidt said. “And no, there are no rifles or pistols in the whole thing. Swords, throwing stars, crossbows, and tanks, yes, but no pistols or rifles. Look closely and you may see a couple of very intimidating Super-Soakers though!”
