G.I. Joe Comics End With A Bang, Relaunch With A Civil War! [SPOILER ALERT]

Posted 1/20/11 11:01 am EST by in Hot Stuff, IDW Publishing, News

G.I. Joe CobraFor decades now, Hasbro's "G.I. Joe" brand has been one of the great cross-media success stories, with popular toy lines, television series, comic books, and even a recent, live-action, blockbuster film. While the stable of G.I. Joe characters has grown over the years, the basic formula has remained largely the same: G.I. Joe are the good guys, Cobra are the bad guys, and Cobra Commander is the baddest of the bad guys.

All that changes, however, with this week's issue of IDW Publishing's "G.I. Joe: Cobra" #12.

SPOILER WARNING: If you haven't read the issue yet (and plan to), you might want to check it out, find out what happens, and then come back for the rest of this story. After all, knowing is half the battle. Read More...
