About the series
In 2009, IDW launched G.I. Joe: Origins as a five-issue miniseries that reexamined the classic team's earliest missions. Written by Brian Reed and illustrated by Stephen Segovia, the series offered a modern, grounded take on the Joes' formation and their first confrontations with Cobra. It served as a companion to IDW's main G.I. Joe title, providing essential backstory for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
