The Disavowed: G.I. Joe Meets The Boys: The Ultimate '80s Task Force Returns
Prepare yourself for a return to the G.I. Joe universe with a more somber and mature spin! "G.I. Joe meets The Boys" is how Devil's Due, the publisher of the popular '80s franchise, describes their upcoming adult-only comic series, The Disavowed. While Skybound's Energon Universe is giving G.I. Joe Comics a boost, Devil's Due is making a comeback to the military action/adventure genre with a fresh perspective that looks to upend things.
The Disavowed: An Untiring Examination of the True American Heroes
Josh Blaylock, the originator of Devil's Due, and Pop Mhan, a Spyboy artist, collaborate on the creative team behind The Disavowed, which will debut on Backerkit on August 20. The United Five are the focus of this new television series. They were a renowned strike squad that vanished in the 2000s but were later summoned back to battle an old enemy. This "ultimate '80s task force" is up against the formidable terrorist group Komodo, which resembles a cult.
The Disavowed, which echoes the grim humor and violent themes of The Boys, promises a gritty, more mature tone than classic G.I. Joe adventures. Explores the biography of Curtis Howzer, a United Five member who died in 1989 while on a mission under the codename Dane (The Great). His son Matthew, now consumed by an obsession to learn the truth about his father's demise, enlists in the military and faces the horrifying truth about the Komodo menace as well as the legacy of the United Five.
A Well-Known Formula with a Change
There's no denying Devil's Due's status as the publisher that brought G.I. Joe Comics back to life in 2001. Transformers, Thundercats, and Battle of the Planets were among the many '80s reboots that followed the huge success of their relaunched G.I. Joe comic. Before IDW took over, the publisher kept the license until 2008. Currently, Skybound's Energon Universe publishes G.I. Joe comics, but Devil's Due is back to offer a new angle on the G.I. Joe universe.
The Disavowed makes extensive use of the canonical G.I. Joe literature. Fans with keen eyes will see well-known figures in the promotional artwork, such as replacements for Duke, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander, and Destro. But the show promises to take a fresh approach to the well-known, presenting a brand-new setting in which the distinction between good and evil is hazy. There is an additional level of personal intrigue to the plot because of the United Five's struggle against Komodo and Matthew Howzer's search for his father's true identity. With its promise of a more mature portrayal of the Real American Heroes, The Disavowed hopes to satisfy its devoted audience.
Fundraising for the Disavowed
August 20th marks the beginning of the Backerkit campaign, which fans anxious to experience The Disavowed may look forward to. Fans will be able to acquire their copies of the new series and support the project by participating in this crowdfunding drive. The Disavowed, which blends nostalgic aspects with a darker, more mature tone, promises to be an intriguing new chapter in the G.I. Joe universe that will attract readers of all ages.
G.I. Joe Disavowed: An Emerging Legacy
Devil's Due has returned to form with The Disavowed. The upcoming series have the capability to revive the fervor of G.I. Joe enthusiasts and acquaint the property with an entirely new readership. The Disavowed is a daring new take on a cherished franchise that shows the possibility of a darker, more adult story set within the G.I. Joe universe. It's more than simply a nostalgic stroll down memory lane. The Disavowed is well-positioned to leave its imprint on the comic book industry thanks to a talented creative team, an engaging plot, and an ardent fan following.
