At free comic day coming up in a couple of months, IDW has promised to launch a new book based on the Marvel continuity after it ended with issue #155. With the immortal Larry Hama penning the book, it sounded like a dream come true for Marvel fans, and now Newsrama has posted a very nice 5-page preview.
I’ve been hopping around online and I’m already seeing some serious negative buzz. I really don’t get it. Have people already forgotten how campy and over-the-top the Marvel series was at the point of it’s end? I dunno… I wasn’t bowled over by the 5-page preview at all, but I do think it definitely continued the tone of the Marvel series as it came to its end. Certainly I would prefer it to come back down a bit and be a bit more serious as the series goes on, but this does seem pretty faithful to the 90’s era Marvel book. We’ll see how it all goes. I’ve mirrored the preview below.

Anyone who’s been following The Fwoosh or the latest Fwoosh CustomCon has no doubt noticed the excellent Spooks and Fury Force entries that JoeCustoms submitted. Well, now we find out the end result! The JoeCustoms (and JoeCanuck) crew have all worked together and will be auctioning these amazing custom boxed sets off, then will give 100% of the proceeds to charity! A great way to celebrate the holiday season. Check out all of the details below.
JoeCustoms.com is auctioning off their CustomCon entries for charity, the eBay link is right here. They will be donating 100% of the proceeds to the Hasbro Children’s Hospital’s Child Life Services program. This program provides toys, games, and activities, as well as, in hospital schooling for the patients. Check out the details of that great cause here.
If you missed CustomCon on TheFwoosh, here are the entries below:
Spooks is an excellent comic series written by Larry Hama for Devils’ Due, so there are obvious connections to the Joe fan in all of us. Fury Force was reportedly the initial “pitch” that G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero was pulled from when the comic first got off the ground. Some great pieces and awesome parts of history that will certainly appeal to Joe fans of all ages.

To go along with the announcement that Free Comic Day from IDW would involve G.I. Joe #155 1/2, Chris Ryall’s RyallTime blog reveals that it’s just the beginning…
“Diamond recently released information on the Gold-level sponsors for Free Comic Book Day in May 2010. Our book for that level is G.I. JOE 155-1/2, an all-new story that picks up where the old Marvel series (which stopped at issue 155) ended. The book leads into a new REAL AMERICAN HERO series that starts with issue #156. The online cover image wasn’t the final version, though–that one is pictured right here, with art by Augustin Padilla, who’s doing the interiors on this new book. The inimitable Larry Hama scripts, of course.”
Very cool news for the Marvel fans out there. It’ll be interesting to see how everything gets juggled, but it’ll be cool to see where this thing goes.

In a move that is certain to make many Joe fans smile, Newsrama has broken the news about the 2010 Free Comic Book Day comics, and among the bevy of listings, is IDW’s G.I. Joe offering…and it looks to be a great one!
G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO #155½
This is what you really want! Larry Hama continues his original and ground-breaking G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero saga with the VERY NEXT ISSUE (but, you know, 15 years later).
Good stuff! Thanks to Jeff Bohn as always for having his ear to the ground.
