Title: Ongoing Comic Series Question
Post by: Recon on June 02, 2010, 12:35:49 PM

Hey All,

I've read the first five issues of G.I. Joe, the ongoing series and love it so much I want to grab the next parts in print, preferably in TPB. Can someone please tell me how many books are covered in Vol. 1 and what issues are covered in Vol. 2?

IDW has an iPhone/iTouch app that allows you download the comics for less. In store they're $3.99 US (I found a great shop in Oakville that sells at US cover prices) but online directly from IDW you can get them $1.99. Also, if you download this free app, you can get a bunch of free comics, including the first classics issue - 29 pages. As I've said, I was so impressed with this and other G.I. series (Cobra, Origins) that I'm looking to grab the TPB now.

Cheers,
Ian

For sure, try GIJoe Cobra.  As for Origins, it's hit or miss.  I liked the Hama stuff early on.

Not sure how many issues are in the trade.  Industry standard is usually 6.

This app is also avaliable on the Blackberry too!
