Comic Book Resources has interviewed Andy Schmidt of IDW recently, and their interview has revealed new details on GI Joe Future Noir, written by Schmidt and drawn by Giacomo Bevilacqua. The series so far will be told in 2 56 page issues. While the other GI Joe series by IDW take on a more realistic approach, Future Noir goes for a more over the top approach. It takes place in a continuity separate from the other GI Joe series. For more details hit the title bar!
The cast is young and here are the characters mentioned so far:
- Snake Eyes
- Duke
- Scarlett
- Roadblock
- Sci Fi
- Agent Helix
- King Cobra a new terrorist leader
IDW already publishes several distinct “G.I. Joe” universes: that of the ongoing and “Cobra” books, the movie universe, and Larry Hama’s “Real American Hero,” which continues the Marvel Comics continuity. Schmidt said, however, that “Future Noir” is unlikely to become a new line in its own right, though more stories in this vein are possible. “I don’t think it’ll develop into a monthly comic. We’ve got enough already, but if this is successful and folks like it and want more, I’d be up for doing another mini or two down the road,” Schmidt said. “But that’s all kind of cart-before-the-horse stuff. Let’s get this one out there. It’s very different, and based on that alone, fans might reject it. Or, it could be a breath of fresh air. We won’t know for sure until orders come in and the book is in fans’ hands.”

I notice that king Cobra is the leader now. Not just a Malt Liquor anymore

Looks too sci-fi and not enough "Real American Hero" for me.
CobraCoffee says
Who ever thought of this idea and got it approved needs to be dragged out in the street and ... well you know.
USAgent says
At least in this story HISS tanks, Pogo Balls, C.L.A.W.S., the BUGG, etc. etc. etc. and every Iron Grenadier vehicle ever built has a plausible reason for existing: IT'S THE FUTURE!
Hat Trick says
Haveta check out the 1st issue at least....
Sailor_Joe says
Because words like Noir just make anything more cool...
This is a big pass for me. IDW continuing to wreck havoc and perverse the world of G.I. Joe even more.
Troynos says
It's a standalone out of continuity mini-series.
How is that affecting the Joeverse?
I may not be a particular fan of this idea, but it's the same vein as Reloaded and the WWII Joe/Transformers mini.
