News Post: IDW January 2012 G. I. Joe Solicitations
Hawkwinter says
Cool. I was wondering what was after the Civil War.
Hopefully things pick up a notch, been kind of a snooze fest so far.
Ako Roshi says
Good stuff. IDW's done well with the current storyline, so it's encouraging to see them extend it into Cobra Command.
Now, if they could do one cover per issue and maybe drop the price a buck...
Jinx723 says
Yeah, lately the Civil War books have been so-so.
I thought the Snake-Eyes & Cobra comics were just for the Civil War story arc. Looks like they'er ongoing. And a 9 issue story arc with the same art team?!? I remember when ARAH artist were on board for years and not by arcs.
spacemonkey says
Whoe became Cobra Commander? I hope it was Krake!
Gallows says
I wish Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow would both die and not be brought back to life with some bad voodoo. I am very tired with both characters.
The Cobra Command arc looks promising and hopefully will bring Cobra out from a being a behind the scene entity.
Shin Densetsu says
That Storm Shadow from that ARAH cover can be extremely easy to make from a ROC Arctic Assault Storm Shadow.
Part me thinks, "hey what if Chuckles is the new Cobra Commander, or Zartan?". Then part of me thinks "WTF are you thinking?".
Sgt Major Haley says
That solicit for Cobra Annual reads like a Mad Lib.....
I didnt wanna pick up any of the RAH issues, since I missed the relaunch from being out of work, but I just might get this one just to find out about the Blue Ninjas.....
MightyMegs says
"Cobra Commander's origin is finally revealed! Once a bad actress in Hollywood, the Commander led a drug-fueled party binge and stole from Kwiki Marts and jewelry stores. Soon, this caught the attention of COBRA. A choice was given: join us or die. Little did High Command suspect that Lindsay Lohan would one day become the newest leader of COBRA."
Weezus says
lol those covers all look like some kid was goofing off in math class.
i hope the stories have more thought put into them.
also its amazing how ninjas in sword battles can get paper cuts all over themselves.
