GI Joe children’s book coming from IDW
Chris Ryall Publisher and Editer-in-Chief of IDW talks about the upcoming GI Joe Childrens Book.
Wednesday, March 18, 2009
Hooking ’em when they’re young is the other half of the battle
In New York, we showed a few quick slides of an upcoming G.I. JOE children’s picture book/graphic novel hybrid that were doing in July, but that’s really been the extent of images we’ve shown. So here’s a more detailed look at the book, which is aimed squarely at early readers (4-7-year-olds. Those kids love their guns-n-grenades, so who are we to deny them that? Even if the grenades might not make it onto the final printed pages). Continue reading IDW Cobra Issue 1

Brandon Jerwa interviewed at GeneralsJoes.com!
If you had to list Brandon Jerwa’s writing credits with GIJoe, you’d need a good-sized sheet of paper.
GIJoe: A Real American Hero, v2. GIJoe: Frontlines. Master & Apprentice 1. Master & Apprentice 2. Snake Eyes: Declassified. GIJoe: Ninja Battles.
With more titles than anyone else under his belt, Brandon comes in second only to Larry Hama in terms of issues of GIJoe written.
Justin was able to sit down with him recently and the result is a fantastic interview posted at GeneralsJoes.com. Brandon dishes out his feelings on the current state of Joe and proves once again why he’s a “scholar and a gentleman”. Consider this recommended reading for any Joe fan!

GI JOE LEGEND LARRY HAMA SET TO HELM NEW IDW COMIC
The following interview by the legandary scribe Larry Hamma. LARRY HAMA G.I. JOE Q&A
The scribe for the new IDW relaunch of America’s realest heroes dishes on the new series
By Matt Powell
Posted 7/3/2008
Comicdom’s soldier-of-fortune Larry Hama has been enlisted to helm the cult war comic G.I. Joe fresh on the slate from IDW. With countless hours of Joe scripts under his belt, Hama’s way beyond basic training to ground the Joes in their new re-launch. A #0 issue of the series will bow this October with an ongoing to begin next January. With series art by Robert Atkins, you can expect the Joes to look good while skinning Cobra hide.
Recently Wizard caught up with the veteran scribe to get the lowdown on his new tour of duty with the Joe team.
WIZARD: Larry, how does it feel to revisit the characters from G.I. Joe?
HAMA: It feels great to be back in the saddle with characters I care about and with an amazing amount of free rein!
Wizard:Before you got back on the title—given your long history with the characters—did you ever find yourself frequently coming up with new ideas for the series in your spare time or in between other projects with hopes of revisiting the team?
HAMA: I don’t really think in terms of plot. Never have. I think that when the companies have to rely on “events” to sell their books, they are admitting bankruptcy of their characters. It should all be character driven. That’s the sort of thing that pops into my head when I am doing something else—”Oh, how would Snake-Eyes react to that?”
