Is this different than the prequel IDW released last year (before the movie's original release date)?

I had a chance to read this last night and I actually enjoyed the back story even though I feel there are a few continuity errors.
The way they explain the connection between the Roadblock and his Ninja skills was done well. He is not really a Ninja but trained by the Arashikage. After getting his but kicked time and time again by Arashikage Ninja, Roadblock comes up with the Battle Kata system to aid in his personal strengths to overcome his lack of martial arts skills. Not a bad way to connect the dots. Now onto the continuity errors. #1) At the start the VTOL art is incorrect and changes to the ROC version later in the book. #2) Since this content was going on before the first movie Rise of Cobra - Storm Shadow was under the command of Destro not The Doctor. Some other cool stuff. They don't ever say her name but it looks like Zartan shoots Cover Girl twice, and she must survive her wounds. That may be why he kills her in the Movie with a blade because she survives the shooting. *speculation* It was also cool to see: ROC Charbroil And Flash In action!

I believe it is those prequel comics collected into one TPB format. I agree with Destro, it was more entertaining than I thought it would be and does a good job bridging the gap between Roadblock and the Arashikage without going into full blown "Roadblock is a NINJAAR" mode.

It was decent.
Got to see Mainframe in action too. Was a bit read that he was an old friend of Roadblocks. The phone call that Hawk receives is from Joe Colton, that establishes his connection to the Joe team.

IMO it's a continuity error, however one could argue that The Doctor was plotting against Destro the entire time to take over, and was in-power behind the scenes.

I thought this mini started off well but petered out at the end.
