Series Artist Chris Mooneyham Returns for G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #311 Alongside Larry Hama

Issue #311 Also Kicks Off a New Camouflage Variant Series by Francis Portela

Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with leading toy and game company Hasbro, announced that series artist Chris Mooneyham (Nightwing, Sgt. Rock and the Unknown Soldier) will return to the smash hit series G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero with issue #311. Taking back art duties from the guest artist team of Paul Pelletier (Aquaman) and Tony Kordos (Batman & Robin Eternal), Mooneyham returns to the creative team alongside legendary series writer Larry Hama (Marvel’s Wolverine) and colorist Francesco Segala (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers).

Featuring covers by the incomparable Andy Kubert (Marvel’s X-Men), the iconic series’ issue #311 arrives in comic book shops on November 20, 2024.

In addition to the main cover by Kubert and colorist Tamra Bonvillain, issue #311 will also feature an open-to-order variant cover with a black and white version of Kubert’s stunning main cover, and the start of a new “Camouflage Variant” 1:10 incentive cover series by Francis Portela (Black Panther).

“We’re thrilled to welcome back the indomitable Chris Mooneyham, and just in time, as the epic mutant battle in Springfield reaches its shocking conclusion,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “When Larry Hama sent me the script, he had just one thing to say: ‘This story is going to slay.’”

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero is a cornerstone of the historic collaboration between Skybound and Hasbro, alongside the shared Energon Universe that features ongoing series Void Rivals by Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead) and artist Lorenzo De Felici (Oblivion Song), TRANSFORMERS by writer Daniel Warren Johnson and artist Jorge Corona (Middlewest), and the upcoming G.I. JOE by writer Joshua Williamson (Superman, Dark Ride) and artist Tom Reilly (The Thing). They are joined by Duke by writer Joshua Williamson and artist Tom Reilly, Cobra Commander by writer Joshua Williamson and artist Andrea Milana (Impact Winter: Rook), Scarlett, from writer Kelly Thompson (Black Widow, Birds of Prey) and artist Marco Ferrari (Frontiersman) and Destro, from writer Dan Watters (Loki, Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!) and artist Andrei Bressan (Dark Ride, Birthright), which round out the lineup of action-packed G.I. JOE miniseries that introduce the iconic characters of the G.I. JOE and Cobra factions to the separate continuity of the Energon Universe.

Skybound and Hasbro recently wrapped a history-making campaign for the Kickstarter-exclusive G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium Set which collects every issue of the original 1982 comic book series in four definitive hardcover compendiums. The campaign raised $3.7 million from over 10,000 backers and is now the most funded comics Kickstarter of all time.
