IDW had a comics panel, but I have yet to hear anything from it. .


there were only a couple dozen people at the comic panel.
basically we got to see all the upcoming covers through September/maybe October I believe, and then it was opened up for Q and A.
The variant cover of ARAH 180 with Vietnam Snake Eyes was sold at the convention.
There are no plans to make any IDW figures, Hasbro really has not discussed that with IDW. It has been mentioned but the focus is on Retaliation.
The Retaliation comic is delayed and I believe Carlos said it is being re-worked a bit just like the movie.
There will be a reduction in the number of covers, basically it will be one regular cover and the retail incentive per title.
Blue Ninjas were generated by Larry Hama wanting to create a new adversary besides Cobra and Red Shadows for GIJOE. Expect to see more of them in the future.
those were the main ones I can remember.

Crap, I was kind of hoping these guys were done, but perhaps in another story they will be better, just to much ninja for me.

I know Hama likes the ninja stuff but his best joe is the military stories.
