Comic Book Resources has interviewed Andy Schmidt of IDW recently, and their interview has revealed new details on GI Joe Future Noir, written by Schmidt and drawn by Giacomo Bevilacqua. The series so far will be told in 2 56 page issues. While the other GI Joe series by IDW take on a more realistic approach, Future Noir goes for a more over the top approach. It takes place in a continuity separate from the other GI Joe series. For more details hit the title bar!

The cast is young and here are the characters mentioned so far:

Snake Eyes
Duke
Scarlett
Roadblock
Sci Fi
Agent Helix
King Cobra a new terrorist leader

The series is highly styalized, drawn in black & white and emulates manga to an extent. Here's more from the interview:

"G.I. Joe: Future Noir" will be published as two deluxe issues rather than using a more traditional miniseries format - there is enough content for about five standard-size issues - which Schmidt said "allows us to add some extra content in the back of the books that seemed like fun - pin-ups, character design type stuff."

IDW already publishes several distinct "G.I. Joe" universes: that of the ongoing and "Cobra" books, the movie universe, and Larry Hama's "Real American Hero," which continues the Marvel Comics continuity. Schmidt said, however, that "Future Noir" is unlikely to become a new line in its own right, though more stories in this vein are possible. "I don't think it'll develop into a monthly comic. We've got enough already, but if this is successful and folks like it and want more, I'd be up for doing another mini or two down the road," Schmidt said. "But that's all kind of cart-before-the-horse stuff. Let's get this one out there. It's very different, and based on that alone, fans might reject it. Or, it could be a breath of fresh air. We won't know for sure until orders come in and the book is in fans' hands."
