New GI Joe Comic From IDW

08-14-08
With Devil's Due Publishing's run on the GI Joe comic book now over, IDW has the license now and are relaunching it in October with issue #0 and issue #1 in January. Unfortunately, 25 years of story continuity will be scrapped for a new relaunch on the property. However, on the upside, the original writer and "Grandfather of GI Joe," Larry Hama, is returning to write. In his interview posted on hisstank.com he explains that IDW is giving Hama alot of creative freedom and letting him do it "his way" this time. It will be interesting to see what Hama comes up with. Robert Atkins is the new artist and has posted some of his GI Joe artwork on deviantart.com. It is worth a look! Check it out!
