The battle would appear to be over. Cobra and G.I. Joe have both paid the price for this decades long war… so where do things go from here?
The answers may surprise you…
It’s been a long, winding road, and the epilogue to my final story has officially been posted. Check out the Darkness Falls section, or click the link directly below.
I don’t know how much licensing fees Honda is paying to use all these toys, but I’m glad they are, because this is some creative stuff they’re putting out there. Following up on the Honda commercial featuring the original 12″ fighting man and the leader of the holograms, a follow up has been released with G.I. Joe attempting to woo Jem with some of his mad skills.
Check out the video on YouTube or embedded below.
While an epilogue is soon to come to tie up some pesky loose ends, the conclusion to the massive Darkness Falls dio-story has been posted.
Throughout 14 years I’ve told my G.I. Joe universe, and I cannot express enough how much I appreciate the nice thoughts and impressions I’ve gotten from everyone throughout this process. Anyone who has produced one of these stories knows just how much work it is, and I feel fortunate to have been able to tell my little corner of the G.I. Joe world from start to finish.
I”m sure many of you will be asking if this is really it, or if I might keep telling other stories, and honestly, at this point, I am done. Lots of things have changed for me personally over the past 14 years, which have provided many more “real world” commitments than I had back then. Still, I do have some other stories rattling around in my head, and time will tell if I ever find a way to get them out there, or if I can consider this a good stopping point.
To all of you who have stuck it out for 14 years, thank you. It seems fitting that I’m able to wrap this up on G.I. Joe’s 50th Anniversary as my own little celebration (though admittedly, I don’t have nearly enough references to the 60s or 70s era worlds here).
I hope folks have enjoyed this. Stay tuned for the epilogue still to come.

It’s the vaguest of notions right now, especially since the arc is a few months away, but over on his fan-focused Facebook Page, Larry Hama made a startling admission today…
I think it’s a safe bet that the story arc in GI JOE ARAH that is comprised of issues #212, 213 and 214 will be fairly collectible.
Keep in mind that Larry Hama never really goes out of his way to promote his work, and has fully admitted to not having much sketched out continuity-wise. Issue #208 just hit shelves, so this is a few months out, but this should be interesting to keep an eye on to say the least. According to IDW Solicitations there is a big character return around that time, so…
Continue to watch Larry Hama’s Fan Page and see if any more news drops!
