G.I.Joe 

Nostalgia Unleashed in the 25th Anniversary GI Joe Collecting Adventure of 2007

Welcome to the Outpost. Wow what a year 2023 has been. I know there have been a lot of Joes we have been anticipating, but Hasbro really cranked out a lot of classified figures from several different years and multiple generations. I love the Classified line but the 3-3/4 inch will forever fill my heart. I went through my favorite Christmas hauls from 1982-1994, now I want to take a look at when I started collecting and some of those highly anticipated and sometimes hard to find figures. It seems…

G.I. Joe Comic Book Review: First Strike Issue #0

Story By Travis G.I. Joe and Transformers. Two storied franchises with two very different modern success’s. Where as Transformers is still going strong with modern retail and third party action figures and a fifth film installment due next week, G.I. Joe on the other hand, could be perceived as a franchise on life support. No retail action figures and no film anywhere near production. Outside of the G.I. Joe fan club, IDW comics would be the only true log G.I. Joe has on the fire. Joe fans need any media of G.I. Joe to be successful.…

G.I.Joe IDW Brings in Queer Artist For Homoerotic Cover!

In the latest news from the world of G.I.Joe, IDW Comics has brought in Queer Comic Book artist, Ed Luce, to produce a ‘Homoerotic’ variant cover an upcoming issue of the G.I.Joe Comic book series.

I find it curious that while Hasbro has a ‘BIG PROBLEM’ with making a G.I.Joe Military movie, that they would sign off on something of this nature, which is clearly not ‘child friendly’. Do you share that opinion? Sound off with…
