Coming (very) soon, an 8 (or so) page mini comic...

After it's been up a little while I'll post posters of the art without any captions.

Jamar, on the matter of continuity, I have sent a PM and am now sending an email, but continuity shouldn't be an issue, at least for this one

Well, Battle Action Force doesn't fit GI Joe continuity, Marvel Action Action Force doesn't fit GI Joe or Battle Action Force continuity, and the new GI Joe doesn't fit GI Joe continuity. Doubtless IDW will treat the GI Joe movie comics as a separate continuity too...

So I wouldn't worry about it.

Without giving the game away, continuity in this case won't matter. There's one panel that purists of the timeline (ie that Red Shadows vs. AF took place in the early 80's) will not like, and I did think about changing it.

There's 3 pages that should work quite well as stand alone posters.

The project was an experiment to see how easy it is to get effective comic books done quickly and easily. When you guys see it, bear in mind that the hand drawn characters and colouring were quite tme consuming, but the backgrounds are very, very quick.

Theoretically the characters from the comics can be put in new backgrounds for new stories... :stake:

Baron, I was going to send you some pics by email, but to be honest it's close enough to being ready now anyway! :baron:

VERY NICE WORK! Love it to pieces!

As you asked there is a type on page2 "On Flag" instead of "One Flag".

Is that Steve Dillon art on the final page?
