Back in November of 2021 we first learned the rumors of IDW’s demise and today brings us official confirmation via The Hollywood Reporter.
“At the end of 2022, IDW will bid a fond farewell to the publication of G.I. Joe and Transformers comic books and graphic novels,” the company said in a statement provided to THR. IDW is planning a blowout celebration later with milestone issue, G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero no. 300 with Larry Hama, the veteran comics writer who launched the Joe brand with Marvel Comics in 1982, at the helm.”

Will marvel want it back? Comic companies are struggling.

Everyone here cool with that? I would have thought that you would want some form of monthly comic for your (or one of many) favorite hobby.

I mean, I loved the early IDW run. The Gage and Costa Cobra Minis? Top shelf. The first twenty or so issues of Dixon’s run. Pretty great. Some of the Special Missions and Origins were cool. The last almost ten years have been atrocious. What a shame, but they definitely don’t deserve the license anymore.
I hope Marvel doesn’t get it. That company is a dumpster fire.

The only reason I am fine with this is because I can never find their comics in stores so I order them directly from IDW and their lowest shipping option is now $7. I was fine with the slow media mail they used to offer because it was like $2.50. Then they dropped that and shipping was $5 and it only recently went up to $7. That just seems silly to me when I am buying one $4 comic at a time.
I just want Larry Hama to be able to finish his run then I hope they can start another long-running reboot. IDW could never keep the other titles running for very long. It was the same with DDP where they would run for maybe 24 issues then reboot again.

If IDW is "losing" the license, that implies someone else is going to pick it up.

Perhaps it is time for a new GI Joe force and enemy....but can that be pulled off. Who knows.
