Nightly News Recap – MTV.com Splash Page talks IDW Comics
The Splash Page, a devision of MTV.com has posted an article about the IDW comic books, mostly talking about the series extensions we reported on yesterday. Quotes of interest include:
“Calling this “the year of G.I. Joe,” IDW announced that its “G.I. Joe: Origins” miniseries published in partnership with Hasbro will become an ongoing series with current writer Chuck Dixon handling the next pair of “Origins” issues, and veteran “G.I. Joe” writer (and live-action “G.I. Joe” movie consultant) Larry Hama taking over for a subsequent three-issue story. IDW’s “G.I. Joe: Cobra” miniseries will also be extended via an extra “G.I. Joe: Cobra Special” issue at the end of its 4-issue run.”
Along with the report, MTV got some sneak images of upcoming covers for the G.I. Joe: COBRA series. Check those out below!
Reviews for G.I. Joe: COBRA #2 online across the web
Well, not quite “across the web”, but reviews are starting to eek out for G.I. Joe: COBRA #2 which hit comic shops yesterday.
I haven’t had a chance to pick up my copy yet, but if it’s half as good as issue #1 was, I’ll be jumping for joy. A great start, that’s for sure.
Cover images posted for Amazon listings
Last week, GeneralsJoes reported about two new IDW listings on Amazon.com, one for Volume 6 of the Marvel reprint Trade Paperbacks, and a listing for the TPB for G.I. Joe: COBRA. At the time, no covers had been posted, but as of now, the covers are posted, though they’re nothing to write home about.
The cover for Volume 6 looks to be the cover from Devils’ Due incarnation of G.I. Joe #1 (once again, art by J Scott Campbell) and unfortunately, it really doesn’t pertain to anything that actually happens in the book. Definitely an odd choice. G.I. Joe: COBRA just features the same image of Chuckles tied to a chair that we’ve seen many times already.
Regardless, if you want to check out the covers, click here for Volume 6 and here for COBRA. Thanks to Jeff Bohn for the intel!
