G.I. Joe Rise Of Cobra Movie Adaptation Press Release
IDW to Release Weekly G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA Movie Adaptation
July Comics Offer Sneak Preview of Film
San Diego, CA (May 27, 2009) – G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra takes over theatres on August 7th, but comic fans can get an advance look in July! Under license from Hasbro, Inc. and working closely with Paramount Pictures, IDW is proud to offer a four-issue weekly comic book adaptation of the much-anticipated motion picture that delivers an exclusive glimpse of what to expect, from costumes to plot twists.
“G.I. JOE was an essential part of my childhood. I saw COBRA agents around every schoolyard corner,” said Andy Schmidt, IDW’s G.I. JOE editor. “It is an honor to be part of an intensely fun and uniquely relevant group of characters. As a lifelong G.I. JOE fan, to be associated with the wide release of the new G.I. JOE film in particular is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
Written by IDW’s own Denton Tipton, the four-issue movie adaptation chronicles every twist and turn of the film. Artist Casey Maloney successfully brings the characters from screen to panel and all the emotion and action with them.
“IDW has done a fantastic job in capturing all the pent-up excitement for G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra,” said Michael Kelly, Hasbro’s Senior Global Publishing Manager. “Every page of the upcoming series clearly reflects IDW’s commitment to bringing G.I. JOE fans the highest quality comic … and those fans will not be disappointed!”
G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA Movie Adaptation #1 is on sale the first week of July, with each subsequent installment debuting weekly thereafter. Each issue will boast two cover options, the regular covers by artist Casey Maloney and the variant “teaser poster” images from the film studio itself. No G.I. JOE fan’s collection will be complete without all four explosive issues!
G.I. JOE Movie Adaptation #1-4 release weekly in July 2009. Diamond Order Codes: Issue #1 – MAY090890; Issue #2 – MAY 090891; Issue #3 – MAY090892; Issue #4 – MAY090893About IDW

More Defense Of Cobra Island Alley Viper In Hand Images!
HISS Tank.com boards member alexan2dros has posted new images of his recently acquired Alley Viper. It’s of the most popular Viper designs from the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero toy line, and more than 20 years later nothing has changed; it’s still a fan-favorite. This new figure does it justice, with numerous weapons, and accessories, some that were sculpted on the original figure are now removable.
Arguably the most popular trooper from the Defense of Cobra Island 7-pack, this figure is proving to be worth the wait. The long wait for pre-orders to go up.
