IDW has just supplied us with solicitation information for G.I. Joe titles hitting comic shops in September! I’ll tell you I’m extremely excited to see what’s going to happen in the Real American Hero universe based on what we’re seeing here, which features a fan favorite character… a couple of them, actually.
Also, even thought it’s not strictly G.I. Joe related, I was excited to see a Transformers: Art of Fall of Cybertron collection featuring art from the extremely cool video game series…not only that, but written by long time G.I. Joe scribe and personal friend of GeneralsJoes Mark Bellomo! That should be a great item to check out come September. Also in September begins the “G.I. Joe Complete Collection” series which endeavors to gather together all of the Marvel G.I. Joe issues into a series of comprehensive volumes! That should be a fantastic collection to keep an eye out for as well.
Check out the Read the Rest of this Entry link below to see the full blown solicitation list.

With the latest whirlwind of IDW news, many of us were pretty concerned about the potential fate of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comic. Well, thankfully, according to Larry Hama himself on Facebook, it seems like this comic will still be around for a while, which brings a huge smile to my face.
New comic day hits tomorrow, so we’ve got a 5-Page preview for you right here!

With C2E2 almost in full swing, some information is coming out of Chicago a little early. Sources tell me that IDW may make an announcement this weekend that they are “streamlining” their G.I. Joe comic releases.
What exactly does “streamlining” mean? At this point your guess is as good as mine. I’m not sure if it means some titles are getting cancelled, but the word sounds somewhat ominous, especially considering how awesome the IDW comic universe has been in recent months.
I would imagine more information will come out of C2E2 itself, but a bit of a scary start to the event, at least for G.I. Joe comic fans. Stay tuned for the latest news and information as it comes!
EDIT – More information has emerged, from the Twitter account ComixAce. She Tweets the following:
“GI Joe, Magic, D&D and NInja Turtles will all be trimmed a bit – to ONE ongoing and the occasional mini, not more than one at a time. “
Ummm… shit.
