IDW Publishing announced a brand new G.I. JOE series, G.I. JOE: Sierra Muerte by creator Michel Fiffe. Fiffe, who is the creator of the indie comic Copra, will write, draw, letter, and color this new G.I. JOE series.It may be better - and less politically infected - than Aubrey Sitterson's catastrophous series or two (Scarlett's Strike Force, let's recall, lasted a paltry 3 issues unfinished), but from the artwork samples provided here (via Superhero Hype), it still looks like very mediocre artwork, right down to the lettering job. More like a 3rd grade school student's notebook sketch.
IDW describes the series as “a bombastic-yet-personal, gritty-yet-colorful account of Hasbro’s iconic G.I. Joe team’s quintessential mission.”
