We’ve gotten our fair share of G.I. Joe and Transformers cross overs throughout the years from Marvel, Devils’ Due, and even Dreamwave, but to date we have not gotten the same thing yet from IDW Publishing.
This summer that all changes as Tom Scioli takes over writing (along with John Barber) and art duties for the upcoming Transformers and G.I. Joe limited series. By all accounts, though, this isn’t our typical crossover. Scioli says that this story doesn’t take place in any real existing continuities, but it sounds like it works as a story enough to fit where the reader wants it to fit.
But what’s truly unique about this upcoming series is Scioi’s fascinating take on the artwork. Using the 80’s aesthetic with some very cosmic style artwork, Scioli completely embraces the vintage look and feel, and I’m loving it. Newsrama interviewed Scioli about his process in accepting the job and working through the early stages.
Find the interview right here, and check out a couple of early images below.

If you’re in the Phoenix, Arizona area, I would strongly recommend checking out the upcoming Art of G.I. Joe exhibit at The Collector’s Marketplace! There will be several artists and authors there, all with G.I. Joe ties. But that’s not all… Paramount Pictures and the Cobra Special Forces promotional team will also be there with give aways and advanced screening tickets.

You should definitely check out the G.I. Joe vs. Transformers Facebook page for all of the latest information, but if you also click the “Read The Rest of the Story” link below you’ll see the full release, listing all of the artists and other creative G.I. Joe geniuses that will be there. Sounds like a very fun event!

I will preface this by saying that coverage will be here and there tonight as I’m still out of town for business, and will be departing for a business event soon. However, I’ll be combing the internetz and gathering together any related G.I. Joe news that comes out of Preview night for the New York ComicCon tonight.
Seibertron.com has already started posting images from new Transformers reveals at preview night, so the event is officially underway and hopefully we’ll get some Joe intel soon. I’m sure Kre-O will be a big focus, but I’m crossing my fingers for perhaps some action figure news for 2013 as well.
I do know Jay from Toy News International is in attendance, and The Terror Drome has someone there as well, so keep eyes out, and I’ll be back throughout the night to give my thoughts on tonight’s events. Wish I was there…
…wait a minute. I’m in Las Vegas. Never mind, I’m good.
