G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra: Movie Prequel

In 2009, IDW launched G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra: Movie Prequel, a single-issue comic bridging the gap to the live-action film. Illustrated by Joe Corroney, this tie-in offered fans a direct lead-in to the movie's storyline, expanding the G.I. Joe universe for a new generation of readers. Though brief, it stands as a focused piece of franchise storytelling from IDW's tenure with the property.
