Interview - Tom Scioli and John Barber Talk Transformers Vs. GI Joe #0

Multiversity Comics sat down with John Barber and Tom Scioli to talk about Transformers vs. GI Joe #0, the Free Comic Book Day preview issue that is now available on Comixology for free. Scioli reveals an early version of the story where the Joes mistake Bumblebee for a Cobra drone and talks about the decision to show a handsome, talkative version of Snake Eyes. Click the title for quotes and a link to the full article! On Bumblebee:

Bumblebee was in the story first. Just him. He was a semi-mythical golden man that was seen by locals in the desert. He’s collecting energon to fuel his ship for the ride home. The G.I. Joes misidentify him as an enemy drone, and shoot, puncturing the energon cube, injuring the identical-looking Duke, Snake Eyes, and Hawk. Snake Eyes got the worst of it, Hawk’s injuries weren’t as bad, but he had to take a desk job, and Duke took on a drill sergeant role, rather than active combat.

And of Snake Eyes:

Also, I love it that the first thing Snake Eyes does is take his mask off. For those in the know, it reads as a nice bit of foreshadowing, but it feels a little bit like a dare on your part. It’s a nice reminder that all bets are off in the all-new, previously unseen world of Transformers vs. G.I. Joe. You find yourself wondering, “Will Snake Eyes (or at least his face) meet the same fate as other Snake Eyes?” Which, of course, gets answered later on. But do the G.I. Joe and Transformers stories of the past box you in a little on what you can and cannot do? Or are you guys taking a true, all-bets-are-off take on these two franchises?

The thing with page three lets you know you’re in for a roller coaster ride. You get classic Snake Eyes, the most well-known, well-loved Joe, exactly how you’d expect him, masked and silent, then in panel 2, he takes off his mask and he’s handsome and talking.
