by Olly MacNamee

To help promote the new G.I. Joe ongoing series from writer Joshua Williamson (Duke,Cobra Commander), artist Tom Reilly (Duke) and colourist Jordie Bellaire (W0rldtr33) Skybound/Image/Hasbro are launching a “Choose Your Side” initiative that will offer readers the opportunity to see themselves illustrated in G.I. Joe #1. All fans need to do is publicly declare their loyalty to either G.I. Joe or Cobra, which will be featured alongside other Insiders in the series’ house ads.

Arune Singh, VP Brand, Editorial, Skybound Entertainment, helps sell the contest:
