If you’re like me and you visit IDW’s Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow artist Robert Atkins on a regular basis, you no doubt noticed that he’s been a flurry of activity this week! He had some very interesting commission requests, and he’s been posting up pieces of his work over the past several days.
Well over the past couple of days he posted the completed images and they’re pretty incredible. A very eclectic group of characters and some great art by Mr. Atkins as well. This combined commission piece is over FOUR FEET wide. Colorist on the Snake Eyes title Simon Gough as even colored the G.I. Joe half already, and I’ve mirrored both images below.

Along with this, Robert has posted a fantastic commission of Snake Eyes in his Commando uniform! Everyone’s pretty used to seeing the Joe ninja in his visor and skin-tight spandex these days, this is a great departure. Check out that image below.
If you’re not hitting up Robert Atkins’ blog on a regular basis, you really should be. He’s been doing a lot of great Avengers work alongside his G.I. Joe stuff, and with him picking back up on Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow last week, you can bet more G.I. Joe content will be coming.
Check it out!
Also for folks wanting to see Robert in person, he will be attending the following conventions! Put ’em on your calendar:

This is the day! Robert Atkins brings his talents back to the pages of IDW’s G.I. Joe universe with the 13th issue of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Apparently going back to their roots in a way, the book takes an apparent look back at the early days of the Arashikage sword brothers’ relationship.
Looks like a “must read” book for the IDW universe. Check out the advanced preview below, and pick up the issue this week in comic stores everywhere!

IDW superstar Robert Atkins comes back to the show to talk about his time at Roll Out Roll Call 3, and we have a terrific conversation about the recent crackdown on 3rd Party vendors and artist’s alley at Botcon. Great to talk to someone directly impacted by those events!
We also cover the latest news and intel going on in the G.I. Joe world, and Beachhead Mike actually makes it through the entire episode without ralphing. It’s an Easter miracle! Listen to the episode at our Podbean page, or hit up the embedded player below. Show notes are after the jump.
