Rob Liefeld to Write/Illustrate GI JOE: SNAKE EYES Series for IDW
Wasting no time following up his breakout hit Major X for Marvel, Major X and Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld is bringing his blockbuster brand to the iconic G.I. JOE franchise at IDW!
SNAKE EYES: DEADGAME, coming in early 2020,will mark Liefeld’s first G.I. JOE story. Details of the storyline remain under wraps for now but the legendary creator promises the most action-packed epic of his career.Â
“Two words: BUCKET LIST,’" says Liefeld, “One more word: ICON.’ Snake Eyes is Wolverine, Deadpool, and Spider Man rolled into one amazing character for an entire generation of fans that thrilled to his adventures in comics and cartoons and hung on his every toy release! My parents drove me all over the county to get me G.I. JOE action figures as a kid. These were my first and most favorite toys. Working with Hasbro and all my friends at IDW has been a blast so far. I can’t wait to get this work out into the public! If you enjoyed my recent Marvel work," Liefeld continues," this will match or exceed it!"
I can't think of a more perfect combination of creator and property. This will be an absolutely ridiculous comic. Liefeld's just gonna be smashing characters together, like a kid with toys.
And that title? Deadgame? Are you KIDDING ME? That rules.
