Over the weekend, we gave you IDW Infestation Info From NYCC, and now that the convention has ended, more info has emerged. Some of the following has come as a surprise. Here's what Comic Book Resources had to say after attending the IDW & Hasbro panel:

First up was “G.I. Joe.” Schmidt began by noting that “G.I. Joe: Origins” would be coming to an end with issue #23 and that co-writer Christos Gage would be leaving “G.I. Joe: Cobra” after issue #13 (due to his recently announced Marvel exclusive contract). His co-writer on the title, Mike Costa, will become the sole writer of “G.I. Joe: Cobra” after Gage's departure. “G.I. Joe” #27 by Chuck Dixon will wrap up the storylines from what IDW has dubbed “Season One” and then relaunch as “Season Two” in April 2011 with “G.I. Joe” #0. “This is the book,” said Schmidt. “It is the only G.I. Joe book from the IDW rebooted G.I. Joe continuity that we'll be publishing in April.” When Schmidt stated that the first story line would be called “Cobra Civl War,” ” Christos Gage chimed in to ask, “Is the premise that Serpentor and Cobra Commander argue over a Cobra registration act?”

So what do you think of the direction that IDW is taking with their GI Joe comics?
