The name sounded familiar and while checking out books at Target, I realized that he has written the book, "World War Z", which was made into the movie with Brad Pitt.
The only similarity is the title... and one minor character...otherwise there really isn't any connection.
He tends to do a panel at SDCC each year. He'll talk a little bit about GI JOE if it comes up but most people talk to him about Zombies.
I'm kind of surprised that they haven't gotten him to do a GI Joe/Zombie comic. Maybe Hasbro is reluctant to let them do a GI JOE Horror.
Considering they MADE a Zombie-Viper, it's certainly not impossible. But yeah, they might not want to do anything as explicit as a zombie story. It's one thing to have a zombie figure, another to show it in action. If it were to happen though, Brooks would be a great choice to pen it. Hearts and Minds, what I picked up, was pretty good. I really liked how he handled Spirit. The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z are probably the best zombie literature I've ever read. Movie wasn't as bad as I thought, but it really only touched on some of the amazing vignettes WWZ gets into. It's a pretty smart read, too... some of it's just pure zombie vs. military fun, other parts can be pretty brainy takes on how a world wide catastrophe would effect the world's governments. The audio book is AMAZING, has some really great talent reading the various stories. Henry Rollins as the body guard for the reality show chapter was particularly fun.
Anyone read Tales from the Cobra Wars? I think he only wrote some of it, as it's an anthology (I believe). Been tempted, but I haven't read a GI Joe "book" since the Find Your Fate series.
