G.I. Joe Origins #1-8 (Update)

is a comic series published by IDW Publishing starting February 2009. It was originally intended to be a five-issue miniseries but was expanded with issue #6 to include other team members. It is penned by G.I. Joe comic legend Larry Hama--for the uninitiated, the man who basically created the G.I. Joe comics universe. The series will explore the formation of the Joe Team and the personalities that make up the team. This IDW reboot has been consistently getting top ratings from reviewers who grew up on the comic books (1982-1994). Issue #5 features Snake Eyes in action, infiltrating Chimera's underground base and coming to the aid of his fellow Joes. Judging from the rave reviews from G.I. Joe fans, making Larry Hama the permanent writer for any and all future G.I. Joe series would be the best move IDW can ever make.

Larry Hama is back and he's joined by Italian sensation Andrea Mutti for part one of this three-part story continuing the earliest adventures of G.I. JOE! Construction on the Pit begins, Snake Eyes pays off old debts, and Scarlett is trapped in a van full of hostiles! --
