January 24, 2010 - G.I. Joe: Cobra II is the follow up to the fantastic 2009 G.I. Joe: Cobra mini series, one of three titles IDW Publishing offered in their relaunch of the Joe franchise. Writers Christos Gage and Mike Costa teamed with artist Antonio Fuso to create a dark and intense espionage thriller that redefined the way we look at many of the lesser used Joe and Cobra characters. Now the entire creative team is back for more with this week's release of G.I. Joe: Cobra II. Chris Neseman jumps into The Pit with writers Christos Gage and Mike Costa for a quick look at what fans of the G.I.Joe franchise have to look forward to in the continuing adventures of Chuckles. - Gage and Costa talk about how their relationship as co-writers came about and how IDW and Hasbro have been open to just about every crazy idea they've come up with. - Both writers talk about the thrill of contributing to the Joe franchise and working with Chuck Dixon and the "Stan Lee" of G.I. Joe, Larry Hama. So take a listen to hear that as well as all the reasons you don't want to miss G.I. Joe: Cobra II #1 in comic book stores this week!
