Here we have the IDW Publishing solicitations for April, 2012 featuring the “devastating aftermath” from Cobra Command as well as new installments in the Real American Hero universe, and another issue of the pretty cool looking G.I. Joe: Retaliation film prequel series.
Sounds like some intense events happening in the next couple of months, and as I’m getting more and more drawn into the IDW universe I can’t wait to see how things progress.

I find myself looking forward to the Real American Hero title every month, but this week…wow. Seems like we got some IDW G.I. Joe overload. I really found myself loving the issues dealing with the modern style of IDW G.I. Joe comics this week, so suddenly being thrust back into the old school Marvel Universe was a bit jarring, but still a lot of fun.
We get a lot more tank action, some more convoluted military stylings, and a whole lotta Larry Hama goodness.

Why haven’t I talked about this sooner?
Folks following the What’s on Joe Mind podcast no doubt know that we are the official podcast of Roll Out Roll Call, which is a UK-based G.I. Joe and Transformers convention threatening to take the world by storm.
Whether you’re a Joe fan, a Transformers fan, or an Action Force fan, there will be a LOT to love about this upcoming convention. Great guests include Larry Hama, Robert Atkins, Simon Furman, Andrew Wildman, and many, many others! Robert Atkins will be doing an exclusive Action Force print, and there will even be some very nice convention exclusive toys available.
This is a show you do not want to miss. What’s on Joe Mind will be representing at the show, thanks to Gary, but even those of us who are stuck in the US for Visa or parole related reasons (I’m looking at you, Chuck) have a lot to look forward to. For all of the nitty gritty details, keep hitting up All The Cool Stuff which will provide any and all updates leading to the March Convention.

The fan world was abuzz when this continuation of the Marvel universe was announced, but I know for my own part, I was getting pretty muddled in the brainwave scanner morasse, the crazed artwork was starting to wear on me, and while I appreciate the 90’s era for what it was, I think most folks were hoping for an extension of the earlier decade. Truth be told, we haven’t had Joe stories of that type for a long while, so that was a stretch to begin with…and the first several issues certainly didn’t help.
But then came issue #161. While the brainwashing angle was certainly still lingering, the artwork was much cleaner and crisper, the writing took a decidedly more military angle, and things were immediately looking up. Of course, I was concerned that this was the exception, and not the rule… what would issue #162 bring? Check out my review after the jump to find out.
