This October, it’s zero hour for A Real American Hero! G.I. Joe has been fighting the evil forces of Cobra for decades, but now Cobra is ready to unleash its master plan on an unsuspecting G.I. Joe!

Written by the man who started it all, G.I. Joe comics legend Larry Hama, this table-setter leads into a mammoth 8-part bi-weekly event, kicking off with G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #219 and #220! Art duties for this arc will be in the very capable hands of S.L. Gallant who has become a fan-favorite for his attention to detail and accurate portrayals of classic G.I. Joe vehicles and characters.

The Prelude issue will boast covers by some of the hottest artists working in the industry today; with Paul Pope leading the charge on the standard cover and variant covers by Francesco Francavilla and Phil Jimenez. And it doesn’t end there; this issue is also part of IDW’s celebrated Artist’s Edition Month with a variant by Stephen Mooney as well as a Blank Sketch variant.

The 8-part Cobra World Order starts here and will continue in the following months’ now bi-weekly G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero! Don’t miss it! A perfect jumping on point.
