IDW PUBLISHING TO LAUNCH THREE G.I. JOE TITLES

IDW Publishing on Monday announced its plans for G.I. Joe spinning out of its G.I. Joe #0 in October, with three new series scheduled for early next year.

G.I. Joe #0, a 24-page, $1 comic, will contain three stand-alone, five-page stories, as well as character sketches and commentary from artist Robert Atkins, previews of upcoming covers, and interviews with the new G.I. Joe creators. The issue features two regular covers, one from Dave Dorman and one from JonBoy Meyers, as well as two incentive covers from Atkins and a wraparound image by Ben Templesmith.

The first title in January will be the singularly titled G.I. Joe, written by Chuck Dixon and featuring art by Atkins. This title moves ahead in the timeline from Hama's series and looks at the fledging G.I. Joe organization as it explores an all-new threat, a shadowy organization that is first introduced to the team in a #0 issue story. Dave Johnson will provide covers for the series, as will Atkins. The first issue features a special wraparound variant cover by Gabriele Dell'Otto.

Larry Hama will be heading up G.I. Joe: Origins, a series that launches in February re-envisions the G.I. Joe team for a new generation. Hama will look at the formations of the G.I. Joe organization and who the characters on the team really are. Hama will be joined by artist/colorist Tom Feister. Each issue will come with two regular covers, one by Andrea Di Vito and one by Feister.

Launching in March is G.I. Joe: Cobra, a four-part mini-series written by Christos Gage and Mike Costa, with art by Antonio Fuso, and covers by Howard Chaykin and Fuso. The mini-series provides a look at the new status quo for the primary threat in the G.I. Joe universe.

IDW also will be launching comics that lead into next summer's G.I. Joe live-action movie from Paramount Pictures and Hasbro, as well as deluxe reprints of past tales. Details for both these projects will be released soon.
