IDW has posted their solicitations for July, 2010, including a very healthy selection of G.I. Joe related titles. Alongside the mainstream G.I. Joe book, G.I. Joe: Origins, and G.I. Joe: Cobra, we now have G.I. Joe: Hearts & Minds by Max Brooks, and the very fun looking G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #156! Larry Hama returns again.-
- A few things I’m looking forward to… Zartan’s IDW origin promises to be pretty cool. Seeing Serpentor come to life in G.I. Joe: Cobra should also be neat.
-
- But four words really caught my eye… in regards to G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #156. “Covers by Rod Whigham…“.

New comic day today, and G.I. Joe #17 is on the docket…thanks to The Terror Drome, we’ve got a 5-page preview to share:

Written by Chuck Dixon with art by the awesome Robert Atkins. Interesting twist to have the Hard Master still alive in the IDW universe. I like it. I think seeing the whole Hard Master/Storm Shadow/Zartan conflict unfold in real time rather than as a flashback is a cool way to look at the story.
And yeah, I know a lot of folks are complaining about Destro’s full metal armor, but I think that’s kind of a neat twist, too. I still say IDW is doing a good job marrying the vintage look and feel with some interesting new ideas and giving us a pretty cool new sandbox to play in. It feels like it’s taken absolutely forever to get to this point, but things are finally starting to flesh themselves out.
