Marvel Studios just dropped the long-awaited Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and if there was ever a preview designed to send longtime Marvel fans into a frenzy, this is it.

There’s something about walking down the cereal aisle today that always makes me smile… and then just a little disappointed. Sure, there are still plenty of familiar names on the shelves, but nothing compares to what it felt like growing up in the 1980s. Back then, cereal wasn’t just breakfast—it was an event. Saturday mornings started the same way in our house. I’d stumble into the kitchen half awake while the television warmed up for a marathon of cartoons. Before I even poured a bowl, I’d spend a few minutes…

From the Hall of Justice to G.I. Joe Headquarters: The Secret Voice-Cast Connection That Built an ’80s Cartoon Legend

Long before Duke shouted, “Yo Joe!” and Cobra Commander began screeching about world domination, many of the voices behind G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero had already saved—or threatened—the world on Super Friends. This was not simply a case of two cartoons hiring one or two of the same performers. The recording booths of Super Friends became something of a training ground for an entire generation of voice actors who later gave G.I. Joe its personality, humor and larger-than-life sense of adventure. The most recognizable connection may be Michael Bell.…

Fixing the Colossal Retro Card Art Debacle

July 16, 2026July 16, 2026 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro0 comment

By Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios As a young buck, I was firing on all collecting cylinders with G.I. Joe. And when it came to buying and collecting the figures, it was all about the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity, as referenced in a previous article, is what made up the collecting experience: Arguably, for me, the card art was, in some cases, the most important part. When I looked at the figure, I saw what was on the card art. I used to legitimately stare at those card…

Yeah, But What Else is at JoeFest?

Story by @GIJoeRepairShop When I told my spouse and in-laws about attending JoeFest, some questions inevitably kept coming up: What else is at JoeFest? What else is there to do there? What other toy lines are represented? As it turns out, there’s a lot of other fun things to experience during JoeFest, if you should somehow find yourself there and not have a love of GI Joe toys. First, there’s a ton of comics. There is figuratively, and probably literally, a ton of comics. All kinds of comics from a variety…

I still remember when finding another serious action figure collector felt like discovering a hidden outpost. It was the late 1990s, the modem was screaming, the family computer occupied half a desk, and a single photograph of a new figure could take forever to load. Yet those slow evenings online felt exciting. There were no influencers posing beside walls of free products. There were no ten-minute reaction videos uploaded seconds after a reveal. There were only fans, message boards, and the shared thrill of finally locating someone who understood why…
