Joe: Origins #19 from IDW Publishing, released September 2010. Synopsis: "Larry Hama returns along with super-star Joe Benitez and it's a silent issue with Snake-Eyes! Not to steal from Stan but, "'Nuff said." Why are we reviewing GI Joe origins 19, a 15 year old comic, randomly the 19th issue of a book from the IDW continuity? Because G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #321 Will Be an All-New Silent Issue released October 2025 and will be a sequel to this issue! “This (ARAH 321) is another all-silent issue featuring the return of the sound-weaponizing characters introduced in GI JOE ORIGINS #19,” said Larry Hama. “They have developed an air-portable version of their sonic weapon and have mounted it in a stealth dirigible to attack the GI Joe installation under Camp Greer in the Utah desert. Snake-Eyes and Dawn Moreno having been at the sound-proof range in the lowest level of the Pit, are the only Joes unaffected, and must attack the airship by themselves.” Creative team Writer: Larry Hama Pencils: Joe Benitez Inks: Victor Llamas Colors: J. Brown Assistant Editor: Carlos Guzman Editor: Andy Schmidt Uncredited layouts: Larry Hama "I took a stab at another silent Snake-Eyes story, but with more complex visual storytelling and self-imposed parameters like keeping track of ammo and ordnance expenditures. "Wrote" it and did layouts. The amazing Joe Benitez did the finished art. It should be on the stands in September" - Larry Hama Facebook post Cover Credits Cover A: Artist: Joe Benitiez and Victor Llamas, Colors by J.
