GI Joe #1 Launches From Skybound/Image Comics in November 2024 (bleedingcool.com)
While I haven't read the initial Skybound minis yet, I hear they're quite good. I'm anxious to read their take since the IDW-verse Joe titles devolved into a hot mess I could no longer support. I'm still skeptical of the shared universe with TF, as that went very poorly for IDW, but Kirkman knows how to tell a compelling story, and he loves this franchise, so I assume he'll be keeping a watchful eye on things.
Just looking at this pic, I feel like I know where the toy team is going to be drawing a lot of inspiration from when it comes to new Classified characters and decos. Just the three upfront... the blonde Cobra, the Baroness/Chameleon with the star on the chest, and the Indian Fed with a shotgun... I'll bet we get figs of two out of three within a year.
We pretty much know that these comics are the source of the Cobra La revival. I just hope the new characters are fun and organic, not just "diverse" for the sake of virtue signaling (cue Cartman as Dianne Kennedy: "Put a chic in it and make her gay!..... and lame!") SW was ruined by that stuff, but it seems Skybound is off to a good start. Fingers crossed.
