We are officially neck deep inside IDW Publishing’s Revolution roller coaster, and just today, the G.I. Joe: Revolution One Shot hits comic shops! It’s a Revolution story focused on the G.I. Joe side of the house, continuing IDW’s existing universe, but weaving it into this over-arcing Revolution story.
So how did it work? Click the Read More link for the full review!
It seems with every new comic day there are new issues tying into IDW Publishing’s Revolution storyline. Even I’ve had a hard time keeping it all straight.
Thankfully, over on YoJoe.com, their comic aficianado antarctica is diving headlong into the Revolution story and has posted several updates in the YoJoe comic section.
You can see a number of links in this Revolution One-Shots forum post, which will direct you to all sorts of other pages with full information and summaries on all the one-shot comics released to date. There’s also a general Revolution forum post as well, which links to a number of different comic book recaps for all of the associated Revolution stories.
It’s a great resource for anyone who wants to dive into Revolution and keep up to date with all of the associated titles. Huge thanks to antarctica and YoJoe.com for providing this great resource!
IDW has listed their latest Humble Bundle and it’s a HUGE one. Listed as a Transformers: Revolution Humble Bundle, if you pay at least $15, you get a metric ton of online comics allowing you to go back and catch up on a number of different IDW Publishing G.I. Joe, Transformers and other titles, leading right up to the latest Revolution storyline. Over $400 worth of comics for only $15? Yeah, that’s pretty much a no-brainer.
Check out their latest Humble Bundle here, but you’ll want to act fast, the deal is gone in six hours!
It started off as strange, obscure hints several months ago…a Revolution was coming. Then word came out and things really heated up with lots of discussion revolving around this big combined Hasbro universe event bringing together diverse brands into one cohesive world.
So it’s official… the Revolution has arrived. It started with Rom and with Revolution #1 this month (though technically the prelude kicked it off a couple of weeks ago). So was it worth the wait? Is it an event worthy of the Revolution title?
Read below to find out, though fair warning – Spoilers are aplenty!
December promises to be a big month for G.I. Joe comics as the new ongoing G.I. Joe series from Aubrey Sitterson and Giannis Milonogiannis (among many others) kicks off alongside the new Revolutionaries title, which also has some serious G.I. Joe connections. I also threw MASK #2 in there, too, because…well, it’s freaking MASK that’s why.
Check out the December solicitation information below.
Revolutionaries #1—SPOTLIGHT
John Barber (w) • Fico Ossio (a) • Tradd Moore (c)
THE REVOLUTION MAY BE OVER–but the future is just beginning! Ripped from the pages of the hottest crossover of the year, the REVOLUTION team of John Barber and Fico Ossio continue the action! KUP is a CYBERTRONIAN literally older than the universe; ACTION MAN is the ultimate special agent trying to live up to an impossible legacy; MAYDAY is a G.I. JOE leader trying to rescue her first command; and BLACKROCK is a CYBERTRONIAN that thinks he’s a human. It takes the mind-bending clash of ROM versus MAJOR BLUDD and the OKTOBER GUARD to bring this unlikely team together… and the secret they learn threatens to unravel the entire universe.
