Rob Liefeld Gives Fans the First Look at SNAKE EYES: DEADGAME

Snake Eyes has long been the most mysterious member of the G.I. JOE team, but within the pages of DEADGAME, he’ll finally be forced to play his hand! How long can he keep his past classified… and what deadly secrets will come back to haunt him?

“G.I. JOE was my first obsession. Those were the toys in the sandbox with me, kung fu grip, eagle eye, I had them all. G.I. JOE is a world of characters that I have always aspired to participate in,” says Liefeld. “Snake Eyes was a profound influence on my creating Deadpool. Producing this series is an all-time bucket list achievement for me.”

“I’ve seen Rob’s excitement about G.I. JOE for years,” says John Barber, IDW Editor-In-Chief. “I’m thrilled and amazed to see it all finally coming together in the biggest SNAKE EYES comic book in decades — maybe ever! There’s a real electric charge in the air every day as new pages come in — every one seemingly topping the last!”

The first issue of SNAKE EYES: DEADGAME will arrive in stores in June 2020.

ACTION FORCE Kickstarter Update Items and Preorders

Since the pre-orders closed last month, there has been an overwhelming response to continue ordering more Action Force items. I’ve decided to re-open pre-orders for at least an additional month to allow additional items to be ordered as well as allow new customers to place an order. In addition to re-opening pre-orders, there will be 3 new items available for the first time. With the huge popularity of the SWARM Troopers, you can now gear up your squad with the SWARM Gear Pack. This gear pack includes a jetpack with moveable wings, energy shield, grenade launcher and sub machine gun. For you customizers out there, the Riot Trooper and Riot gear are now available as well.

To add these new items just go into your new or existing CrowdOx order and find the 3 new items in the “Extras” section. These new items are add-on extras only. If you are having trouble finding a link to get into your order, a separate email from CrowdOx will be received with a link to get to your order.

Speaking to the gathered audience at their annual screening event, Entertainment One declared their future plans to work hand-in-hand with Hasbro.

eOne’s president of global scripted programming, Pancho Mansfield stated that G.I. Joe, Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons, Power Rangers and Action Man are already considered for TV or Film adaptations by the company.

“You know what has a following and then you try to find the right visionary. We’re meeting with all kinds of writers to make sure we have the right approach for whatever the piece is. There are some central brands (stated above) we will be focused on.”

Feature films such as a new ‘Transformers’ installment and ‘GI Joe’ movie, both with Paramount, are on the way, says Mansfield, although TV adaptations of Hasbro IP likely won’t air until 2021.

Noel Hedges, executive VP of acquisitions for eOne said “We will support Hasbro’s in-house IP and now find ways of bringing that to screen internally. Hasbro wants eOne to thrive, and from a distribution POV, they want us to be the portal through which we can take that content to the world. Even if it’s a kids brand, it could be integrated into a cross-generational family [offering]. Hasbro is a family business but there is a lot there that isn’t just in the kids space.”

Once again thanks to fellow Tanker Jtprime17, we have another listing for the G. I. Joe: Classified 6-Inch Line by Hasbro.

Priced at $19.87, the listings are titled as GIJ CS FIGURE. There are 6 items in total with two code names based on insects. Following the examples for Transformers, it is likely that we’ll see such coding to hide the actual names of the toys.
