Here's a link to the new book from IDW aimed at kids (ages 4-7) with Combat heroes art style and comic type paneling
RyallTime: Hooking 'em when they're young is the other half of the battle |

That is adorable! I really like the Combat heroes/Superhero squad...etc style.
Personally I think this is a great idea. Kids just aren't into comics these days, it's mostly adults who read them which is a shame. But frankly most comics are too adult in nature for youngsters any how All the companies are making kiddie titles to attract a new generation of comic fans. DC has tiny titans and Marvel has a bunch of kid-centric versions of the heroes too. It's great to see IDW offer something to not only get kids to check out comic books and expose the mythology of GI Joe to a new generation, hopefully creating new fans in the process. I wonder if they will borrow some stories/ideas from the old toon? |

Awesome. Nothing I'll get but the idea is very good. DC does great with their kid themed books and those definately do hook kids into the "older" comic books.
I got into comics by reading G.I. Joe. So things that tie into toys and cartoons, if done right, will grab the kids and make future comic readers out of them.

I used to love stuff like that when I was a youngster. Great Idea! I think it will do wonders for the property.

I might read it myself. I loved DC's "Supergirl Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade"
