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!

Mr. Ryall states in his Ryalltime blog that starting with Issue #7, the ongoing Joe title will get a nice gatefold cover to celebrate the start of a new storyline. That awesome cover can be seen below:
Along with the gatefold cover for Issue #7, the Editor in Chief also showed off the latest work by Tom Feister for G.I. Joe: Origins #6:
Sounds like things are going well in the Joe publishing realm! Big thanks to Jeff Bohn for the tip.
