Comic Book Resources has posted their interview with the creative team behind G.I. Joe Origins #12, which is set for release tomorrow and focuses on The Baroness!

“G.I. Joe Origins” #12 reveals the early days of the Baroness, who left behind her wealthy aristocratic family to embark on a life of terrorism with Cobra. “As a kid, I was always fascinated by the Patty Hearst story (look her up, yung’uns!) and when Andy Schmidt (editor of all things 'G.I. Joe' at IDW) called me about doing a Baroness story, I immediately wanted to see what happened in her life that ultimately led her to Cobra,” writer Marc Andreyko told CBR. “Was she a good girl manipulated into doing bad or was this a life she actively pursued with the blinders off?

“I love the fact that she is such a hard-core character,” Andreyko added. “In many ways, I find her far more intimidating than Destro or Cobra Commander, mostly because the Baroness more than holds her own in the testosterone-laden world of the Joes.

“And I have to give Hasbro some major props on this one. My story is a little darker, a little grittier than the normal Joe story and the folks at Hasbro were totally supportive about the direction. You never know how working with licensors will be, and this time was an absolute dream.”
