The second GI Joe 25th Anniversary comic pack that I worked on has been officially announced at last weekend’s JoeCon 2008. The comic, which featured Nemesis Enforcer and Lt. Falcon, was a blast to work on. Larry Hama’s story is a rollicking fun adventure and should be a great read. I know the GI Joe fan community’s not so hot on the whole Cobra-La branch of the mythos, but give this pack a chance, folks! Larry’s story is a fun rollercoaster ride and I hope I did it justice in the art department.

Colors were by the uber-talented Blond.

Here’s some photos of the toy pack (front and back). Seeing my artwork on the packaging of a GI Joe toy is surreal, to say the least. But it’s very rewarding and very, very exciting!

I haven’t been given the green light to show any internal pages yet, but I can post the cover artwork, which I’ll do very soon, along with some memories of what it was like to work on it.

For some reason, Nemmy (hey, don’t look at me like that, that’s what Larry called him in the script) has been renamed Nemesis Immortal for this comic pack release. No idea why.
