Following the Revolution series and the GIJOE one shot, IDW has plans to release a new series called Revolutionaries in December.
Below are the GIJOE bits. Here is the link to the full article on CBR.com Barber & Ossio's Revolutionaries Expands the IDW/Hasbro Universe - CBR Quote:
What happens when the Revolution comes to an end? At IDW Publishing, it keeps on rolling in the pages of “Revolutionaries,” a December-launching team series by John Barber and Fico Ossio spinning out of the Hasbro-IDW event that brings together the Transformers, G.I. Joe, Action Man, R.O.M., Micronauts, M.A.S.K. and other concepts owned by the toy company.
“Revolutionaries” will not only feature Transformers characters Blackrock and Kup, but also G.I. Joe Mayday and Action Man. The recurring cast will come into contact with a variety of Hasbro-created characters old and new, now that everyone lives in the same reality. a bunch of people at Hasbro had some notes and questions about how this would affect, say, G.I. Joe characters and stuff, and then — and I kinda hate to admit it — Hasbro’s Michael Kelly had a big couple notes at the end that sort of blew up something I really liked, one of the bits I wanted to do from the beginning, but — and this is the part I hate to admit — he was right and the changes made it stronger again. There’s an event in the country of Kalistan — which is a deep cut for G.I. Joe fans — that mutates a bunch of people. G.I. Joe sends in a team to investigate, but the event occurred at a facility owned by a British company, so Action Man beats them there I do try to bring them all closer in their look. I sort of give them all an update on their original designs without going too far. You can get an idea with Action Man on this cover. The suit is still the same but it has more of an armor feel to it. I do the same with Scarlett and Anaya. Same with the weaponry. I feel the book is sci-fi, so on that note, I try to bring them closer to that genre and to a cohesive look between them. Mayday is Ayana Jones from the Earth Defense Command, the group that was set up to combat Cybertronians on Earth, but which was subsumed into G.I. Joe during Revolution. We see her as Mayday in Revolution — she was second-in-command of the E.D.C., and she’s in command of a G.I. Joe team. She’s got experience, and she’s very comfortable around giant robots and monsters from space — this is where she’s lived for the past several years. But when given the chance to be in charge, something goes very wrong. It’s not her fault, but she still has something to prove — or she thinks she does, anyway. We’ll see what happened to G.I. Joe and Cobra between the last series and Revolution. We’ll see Rom interacting with G.I. Joe after… well, I guess that’s a spoiler. So right off the bat, we get the unusual crossover of Rom versus the Oktober Guard from G.I. Joe (which includes Major Bludd!). That leads to the Revolutionaries calling in the Micronauts to help against the new Storm Shadow. There’s a flashback — an important flashback, not just a tossed-off story — to the original G.I. Joe, Joe Colton (who’s running the Joe team in Revolution) and his old group, the Adventure Team, versus Soundwave from Transformers. We might see some links back to some fan-favorite comics from the past that maybe people didn’t think we’d be revisiting. the first issue reprints — for the first time — the Joe Kubert “Sgt. Savage and His Screaming Eagles” G.I. Joe mini-comics. That’s a set of characters I don’t really have a personal connection with, those came out while I was, let’s say, between ages where I was into G.I. Joe toys. I don’t know what people think of those characters, but it’s really bonkers stuff. I mean, they had little in-pack comics and they got Joe Kubert to write, draw, color and letter them. The legendary Joe Kubert! The premise of Sgt. Savage is pretty nuts, but within that storyline is a group called I.R.O.N. — the International Robotic Operations Network — who show up in issue one of “Revolutionaries.” Meanwhile, in “G.I. Joe Extreme,” there was the Iron Klaw, and in “Action Force” there was Baron Ironblood. Is there a connection?!?
