IDW has shared a preview of its upcoming Snake Eyes: Deadgame #1 from Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld.

Last summer, IDW announced that Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld would be writing and illustrating a brand-new G.I. Joe comic book series centered on Snake Eyes. The upcoming Snake Eyes series will be called “Deadgame” and has been described by Rob Liefeld as a Mission: Impossible-esque story.

Now, IDW has released a preview for the highly-anticipated Rob Liefeld series. In addition to the preview, IDW also unveiled the Snake Eyes: Deadgame #1 cover featuring Scarlett and Storm Shadow. The Snake Eyes preview gives us a glimpse at the stunning artwork from Rob Liefeld and some of the action we can expect from the series. You can check out the Snake Eyes: Deadgame #1 preview below.

Meanwhile, a G.I. Joe spin-off film will tell the origins of Henry Golding’s Snake Eyes as he seeks revenge against the man who murdered his father and trains under a group of shadowy assassins known as the Arashikage ninja clan. Paramount Pictures and Hasbro had previously assembled a writer’s room led by Akiva Goldsman in the spring of 2016 to develop a cinematic universe based on the toyline properties Micronauts, Visionaries and M.A.S.K., as well as a reboot of the G.I. Joe franchise following 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and 2013’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which featured Ray Park in the role of Snake Eyes.

Directed by Robert Schwentke from a script written by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Snake Eyes star Henry Golding as the titular character, Andrew Koji as Storm Shadow, Iko Uwais as Hard Master, Úrsula Corberó as Baroness, Samara Weaving as Scarlett, and Steven Allerick as Ninja Commando. Actors Haruka Abe and Takehiro Hira have also been cast in undisclosed roles.

Snakes Eyes is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 23, 2020. Rob Liefeld’s Snake Eyes: Deadgame #1 will be available in June.
