Excellent interview of IDW Editor John Barber on ComixVerse.com

The folks behind The Comix Verse are friends of the site and are making a push to bring their network of sites into the mainstream…doing a great job of it, too.  They’ve posted a very good and enlightening interview with IDW editor John Barber, who is one of the guys editing the G.I. Joe stable of titles, and also the writer of the impressive G.I. Joe: Retaliation Prequel limited series.  He lets loose some insight about what might be coming after Cobra Command, and the interview even showcases some nice preview pages!

Check it out right here.  Good stuff, and thanks to The Terror Drome for the heads up.

Sneak Preview of G.I. Joe: Retaliation Prequel #2

It seemed like just two weeks ago that the first issue of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation prequel hit…  mostly because it was.  Wasting no time, IDW plans to continue their operations in the G.I. Joe: Retaliation timeline this coming Wednesday with their second issue.

And like with the first, an online site has a sneak preview!  This time around it’s i09.com and you can check out the first handful of pages from the Retaliation prequel #2 right here.

I just checked them out, and…  I’m interested!  I thought the first issue was fine, but nothing mind-blowing.  The second issue, though, looks like it ties Mainframe and Roadblock’s backstory together nicely.  And holy crap Sky Sweeper!  LOVE IT.

I’ve mirrored one of the pages below, be sure to hit up i09.com for the rest.
