G.I. Joe: Reborn Missing From Stores!

G.I. Joe: Reborn Missing From Stores!
(Guess we must’ve sold ‘em all!)

CHICAGO, IL -- --

G.I. Joe: Reborn has literally disappeared from store racks from coast to coast. The latest offering from Devil’s Due Publishing has completely sold out at the distributor level.

Written by John Ney Rieber and penciled by Joe Bennett and Javier Saltares, Devil’s Due marketing knew that there was a lot of excitement surrounding the books.

Still, DDP president Josh Blaylock was surprised by how quickly the title vanished, despite its hefty size. “G.I.Joe Reborn was a nice thick forty-eight page, $4.95 book, and we overprinted twenty percent. Thanks to a lot of hard work from my team, and the killer creative talent behind it, it’s paid off in full. Thanks to everyone who picked up the title!”

Blaylock added, “The Cobra Reborn and G.I.Joe one-shots set the stage for the all new continuity that is G.I.JOE RELOADED, and this confirms how well it’s being received. I can’t wait until people see what Rieber and crew have planned next. What Cobra Commander is planning will have MAJOR consequences for the entire world.”

G.I. Joe: Reborn was the compliment to the story started in Cobra : Reborn (by Spider-Man/Wolverine: Origin writer Paul Jenkins) and was one of the first titles Devil’s Due Publishing announced as an independent publisher. The series is gaining notoriety for its grounded, edgy portrayal of the mythos. There is a strong sense of fan support and validation with this news, as the company evolves out of its “eighties” niche, establishing a new G.I.Joe continuity for both new and veteran fans.

Devil’s Due wants retailers to know that the first issue of the follow-up ongoing series, G.I.JOE RELOADED, is still in stock but moving fast, and Cobra Reborn is still available thanks to a hefty overprint.

The "Classic" series G.I.JOE: A Real American Hero continues as well, and will feature a back-up story by Aspen Studios (Fathom, Superman) introducing a new villain to the mythos starting in June.
