As great as the recent IDW Cobra Command story arc has been, and as well suited to the story Alex Cal’s artwork has been, a big part of me really misses Robert Atkins’ work on a G.I. Joe title. Well, thankfully that problem gets rectified very shortly!
With Atkins slated to return to the art chores for Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow starting with issue #13 and I couldn’t be more excited. And as if I wasn’t fired up enough already, Robert updated his blog with some art for the issue. This includes the cover and interior art for one of the pages inside! Oooh boy this looks awesome.
Check out the links below for the various blog posts:
Love the looks of this. The style is so different from Alex Cal, yet awesome in its own right. Crisp, clear, awesome detail work, and I love the designs of those Red Ninjas. The pencil and ink work all belongs to Robert, with colors by the excellent Simon Gough, who has also posted some great detail shots on DeviantArt as well. You can find his work at

Some very cool stuff!

Snake Eyes Ongoing #11
Chuck Dixon (w) • Alex Cal (a) • Dave Wilkins, Robert Atkins (c)
The Commander demands satisfaction! COBRA’s war on a helpless sovereign nation roars toward its conclusion. Snake Eyes is alone against the Red Ninjas led by Storm Shadow in the Temple of the Bells as weapons of mass destruction fall over Nanzhao. The Joes are in jeopardy at a border crossing against a squadron of B.A.T.s. Storm Shadow offers Snake Eyes a devil’s deal; the key to the heart of COBRA. Will the most dangerous Joe accept?

The figure releases must be getting close, as a few eBay auctions have appeared for test shots of G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures. Most of the images are pretty vanilla, but there is a very cool shot of the G.I. Joe Trooper’s backpack which shows several awesome holsters and a nice spot for a trenching tool.
At this point the auctions have ended, but thanks to HissTank.com for linking the auctions (and images) and you can see the mirrored images below.

Big thanks to Total Film, who are the first to broadcast this, though I’m honestly not sure if the image is theirs exclusively or not. It features Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe: Retaliation in a threatening pose with pistol raised and ready to pop some caps!
Hit it up at Total Film, or just check out the mirrored image below.
The image features the always awesome Ray Park as Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which will hit theaters June 29, 2012.
