Many fans were left wondering what was up with IDW Publishing’s G.I. Joe series when it went missing from solicitation lists posted recently. I had reached out to Editor in Chief Chris Ryall and got some clarification on that.
Now, over on their Facebook Page, IDW Publishing has let loose the first small teaser for what might be coming later this year. It’s just a single cover image, and is appropriately called “The Fall of G.I. Joe”.
It’s an intriguing first image, and I know I’m really hoping to hear more as the convention season goes forth.

Paul Allor’s run on G.I. Joe continues this month, and looks to continue strong as we get back to G.I. Joe’s perspective this month. With a return of Steve Kurth and a step back towards the more familiar look and feel of the previous several issues.

Many folks have seen that the main G.I. Joe title from IDW Publishing has been noticeably absent from recent solicitation lists, and the rumors were circling that the book might be going the way of “Cobra” and “Special Missions”.
I reached out to Chris Ryall, Editor in Chief at IDW Publishing, and received the following reply:
“…the main title and Cobra are taking a small break. But will be back in a big way with a new team for THE FALL OF G.I. JOE. Coming, of course, this fall.”
So, this is pretty cool news. Not only does this indicate that the main G.I. Joe title is going to be returning, but we’re going to be getting another Cobra book as well at some point this fall.
Meanwhile throughout the summer we can focus on A Real American Hero and Transformers and G.I. Joe. I’m very glad to hear this. Fred Van Lente’s work on the main title had been pretty fun, and Allor’s two follow ups so far were no exception to that either… so I’m looking forward to seeing where things pick up this fall. Mr. Ryall also mentioned that they would be discussing this in more depth soon, so expect more information to come.
Big thanks to him for his response! For G.I. Joe comics fans, I would also encourage you to visit IDWPublishing.com and share the G.I. Joe comic love. Make sure you get some letters in there for Postbox: The Pit while you’re at it.

We’re on the verge of some huge events in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #200, and with Paul Allor wrapping up his run on G.I. Joe, what’s up next for our American Heroes?
Turns out… not a whole heck of a lot. 🙁
May solicitations have hit from IDW Publishing, and we have one title on the list. G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #202 throws us back into the RAH world, but as of this moment, there doesn’t appear to be a main IDW-verse G.I. Joe title on the list. We knew that Paul Allor’s run would last for four issues (which should wrap in April) but there is currently no apparent heir to that G.I. Joe throne.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t a plan in place, but apparently that plan will not involve the month of May.
I’ve reached out to IDW to see if I can figure out what’s up, but until I get a response, check out the solicitations for May, 2014 after the jump.

Relish new comic day tomorrow, G.I. Joe fans, as it might be one of the last times we get a “Two for One” G.I. Joe comic day. With Cobra already gone and Special Missions wrapping up in April, pretty soon we’ll be down to just the flagship title and A Real American Hero (with Scioli’s Transformers and G.I. Joe coming in a short bit). So soak this in while you can.
Brace yourself, too, as the race to Real American Hero #200 heats up with one more step towards the big G.I. Joe vs. Cobra showdown! Check out previews for these two issues below.
