EDIT – I’ve been informed by IDW that there was a slight shipping error, and the book will actually hit local comic shops on September 30th, NOT the 23rd.
The G.I. Joe: COBRA Special is officially released tomorrow September 30th, but GeneralsJoes has the exclusive advanced copy review for you right here! Check it out in all of its minor spoilery goodness at the “Read the rest of this entry” link below.
As we expect the G.I. Joe: COBRA Special to be released this week, a five-page preview gives us a little hint as to what to expect. The style looks remarkably similar to the mini series, which is a welcome sight for sure!
Check out the 5-Page Preview below.

Recent answers from Hasbro on the latest G.I. Joe Q & A clued us in that Resolute should be appearing on DVD this fall… but thanks to Storm Shadow on JoeCanuck.com, we see that the Canadian branch of Amazon, Amazon.ca has the Resolute DVD listed for a November 3rd release!
Whether that holds true for the American release or not remains to be seen, but it certainly seems like a potentially accurate timeframe.
I think everyone figured it was a done deal anyway, but somewhat lost in the shuffle was that the G.I. Joe Q & A answers on JoeReloaded.com have confirmed that there will definitely be a Rise of COBRA sequel!
Q. Has the box office receipts of GI Joe: Rise of Cobra met or exceeded Hasbro’s expectations? Are they enough to officially green light a sequel?
A. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra box office results are strong globally, and Paramount has confirmed that there will be sequel.
So there you have it. Thanks to Ed Dam of JoeCanuck.com for pointing that out to me as I kind of glossed over it while gathering all the links together.
Another kudos goes out to Phil Kost at JoeReloaded for breaking the news about next week’s release of G.I. Joe: COBRA Special #1. Following hot on the heels of the critically (and fandom) acclaimed G.I. Joe: COBRA limited series, it tells the tale of twin brothers in a very different fashion. Read the full press release by clicking the “Read the Rest of the Entry” link below. This book sounds kick ass.
Just like Hasbro partakes in Q & A sessions with the pesky fandom, over at JoeReloaded.com, Phil Kost gets a chance to send off some questions to the fine folks at IDW, primarily editor Andy Schmidt. They just received the latest round of answers, which I’ve also mirrored below at the “Read the Rest of the Story” link.
