IDW Limited FaceBook

GIJOE IDW Limited is a new sub-series of comics by IDW, with three levels of increasingly limited edition high-end releases and including a selection of special features including special art prints. We have attached images of the Trasformers IDW Limited sets that went on sale yesterday for everybody to understand what you get for your money, and collection, if you buy one of these awesome sets.


This is a quick round up of what to expect GIJOE Limited to look like when it is released. The Transformers books went on-sale this week and we got a look at how IDW is going to set up Limited.

What is the difference between the Blue and Black Label editions? I spent a while on their website and now this post comparing the two and the only difference I saw was a different artist on the hand drawn stuff and I it looks like one vs. multiple hand drawn sketches? Whatever the differences are I will be getting the Joe Blue Label!!!

The difference is typically in the art. We commission the artists to do more elaborate, more time intensive work.

Blue Label is also stamped with the Blue foil imprint, bound in blue and has a blue satin bookmark ribbon. So there's some really nice small touches.

The GI Joe art should be in the office soon and we will definitely be passing along previews of it. Can't wait to see it!

The Baroness would be my choice for Blue Label if not her then Destro, Snake Eyes is played out.
