I’ve heard word that many comic shops didn’t get these issues in this week, so if that’s the case, you may want to turn away, lest have some spoilers heaped upon you. Larry Hama has been exploring this somewhat strange “Blue Ninja” storyline for a while now, and yes, it continues here…but something strange happened. It’s kind of grown on me.
Kind of.

As Robert Atkins is en route to Southampton, England to attend Roll Out Roll Call 3, he has posted a great image of the exclusive print that the folks at RORC 3 plan to have available at the show!
It is an absolutely awesome Red Shadows piece that you can see here, or mirrored below.
Also, Robert is in the midst of a new project, and he needs our help! He is currently working with Quinn Johnson on a pretty neat looking new super hero comic project called Elders of the Runestone, and they have launched a Kickstarter page to help fund it. You can check out the video below, and please, if you can, take a few moments to go to Kickstarter and help fund Robert’s exciting new project.
Wow…you know, I’ve been impressed by Dave Wilkins’ G.I. Joe covers throughout the Cobra Command series, but somehow seeing them all together like this makes it even more impressive. Over on Twitter today, both The Real Jose Gon and The Terror Drome remarked how cool the covers were, and IDW took it to heart.
They posted a very cool Tumblr update that showcases all of the covers in one central place. They ROCK. As I said, I’ve enjoyed them, but seeing them all collected together is even cooler. His artistic style is really unique and he manages to really bring out the characters nicely.
I’ve mirrored a few of the images below, but you should definitely hit up IDW’s Tumblr post to see them all. It’s worth your time.

Another week, another installment in the Cobra Command multi-part adventure. IDW continues to use the same art team along with their regular compliment of writers to carry the story along and maintain a great sense of unity even as it hops from title to title. The results so far have been excellent, in my opinion.
What I really love about how the Cobra title is treating this story is that they are staying very much in continuity and sticking with the format, but you can definitely smell the Cobra vibe as you read the pages. This issue is no different.

We just had a week of no new Joe titles at comic stores, and it was a weird feeling. Seems like almost every week there’s something hitting stores, and now things are back to status quo. IDW is releasing two G.I. Joe issues to stores on Wednesday, February 1st, and we’ve got five page previews for both below.
