Available tomorrow from IDW Publishing is G.I.Joe: COBRA #5. This issue is written by Mike Costa and Christos Gage with art by Sergio Carrera. Now an ongoing series, COBRA #5 expands the IDW verse with another Joe classic character, Serpentor. We also find out about the Coil, which appears to be another side of the massive Cobra Organization. So check out our review of this issue and be sure to pick it up at your local comic shops on Wednesday.
“Costa and Gage have certainly weaved an interesting story here that is definitely something big. They continue to raise the bar on this book.”

From IDW this week comes a new G.I. Joe mini-series from author Max Brooks. G.I. Joe: Hearts & Minds #1 hits your local comic shop tomorrow, Wednesday May 26th. We shared with you a preview of this book earlier and now we have a review for you as well. Sure to be of some controversy, Hearts & Minds #1 focuses on Major Bludd in the first half with art by Howard Chaykin and Spirit in the second half with art by Antonio Fuso. Each half gives us a unique look into these characters that you probably just wouldn’t find in the regular series. So what does Terror Drome staff member joshdahl have to say?

“On the other hand, if you miss the ARAH style file cards for all they told you about the personalities of these characters, and you want some cool art to go with it, then you will love this book as much as I did.”

This week from IDW Publishing is the first issue of G.I. Joe: Hearts & Minds from New York Times bestseller author, Max Brooks. Hearts & Minds is a 5-issue mini-series focusing on individual Joes and Cobras each issue. One half the book focuses on a Joe character and the other half a Cobra. In Hearts & Minds #1, we follow along in a story by Brooks’ and art by Howard Chaykin, about Major Bludd and what drives him to be the man he is. The second half of the issue by Brooks’ with art by Antonio Fuso, focuses on Spirit and what makes him so unique at what he does. We posted a 12-page preview a few weeks ago now courtesy of iFanboy of the Major Bludd part of the book, and today Newsarama posted a 5-page preview of the Spirit portion of the book. If you don’t want the issue spoiled for you, then skip the previews (if you can) and pick up G.I. Joe: Hearts & Minds #1 on Wednesday, May 26th at your local comic shop.

Brian Truitt of USA Today sits down with G.I. Joe: Hearts & Minds writer Max Brooks, to discuss the upcoming mini-series from IDW Publishing. This series takes a look at either one Joe or one Cobra character per issue. It will go in-depth about the characters lives on and off of the battlefield. And since Mr. Brooks was a G.I.Joe fan growing up we should be in for a real treat!

“I basically was answering my own questions that I used to have as a kid,” Brooks says. “I used to always wonder about these characters and going deeper, and then as I got older, I wanted these characters to age with me.”
Be sure and check out the full USA Today article, and be sure to take a look at our preview of G.I. Joe: Hearts & Minds #1 in the forums and look for Hearts & Minds #1 at your local comics shop next week!
