Gi Joe Comics - End of Devils due run

This past Wednesday marked the release of the final comic book in the long and well-received run of GI Joe books by Devil's Due productions. Their large 12 issue "World War III" story arc was a really great piece of work, and it's really something that it's all said and done now. With that, the license passes on to IDW, as Hasbro consolidates both their Transformers and GI Joe comic properties under one publisher.
 
Fortunately Devil's Due still has plenty of great titles to choose from, including "Spooks - Omega Team" written by Larry Hama, the much heralded original (and ongoing!) writer of the GI Joe books. His new work is probably worth a shot, so pick it up if you find yourself in a store full of comics. Also make sure to grab yourself issue #12 of the WWIII arc as the Joes wrap up - this double sized issue will no doubt be important and in short supply going forward, and will dry up even faster when people realize that the movie is coming out and the comic license is changing hands! Oh, and while you're at it, you may as well pick up 'The Crooked Man #1' which is a new Hellboy book. It's a great tale, and will start to get you all warmed up for the new movie, opening July 11th this summer.
