Hello Friends, YES I know this is not G.I.Joe Related, but every now and then I will dip into other iconic properties to shed light on things that I feelothers will enjoy. Everyone loves Elvira . I mean there are two DD reasons we do… LOL As part of my G.I. Joe recaps, I will sample other titles/books. To be honest most of them suck! Marvel and DC for the most part, care more about Movies and their SJW Political nonsense than they do about the quality of titles like…

BackgroundA lot of stuff has gone down in the last few issues. I’d read up on them or check out my previous reviews before proceeding. But to each their own! On to the issue.

Background This issue marked an introduction to a new wave of Joe’s, Cobras and vehicles for both. The story stands by itself for the most part, but it foreshadows some intrigue for future stories. And it introduces us to characters and vehicles that Hasbro was getting ready to sell us as toys. The original 3.75” rendition of G.I. Joe arrived in 1982. The first wave is commonly referred to as the originals, or the straight-arms. In early 1983, Hasbro released the same figures with “Swivel-arm battle grip.” This innovation of…

It seems that after 80 years of Captain America being a symbol of Justice and Equality for the young and old of our country, that he is somehow not ‘equal’ enough because he is not gay or transgender. The LBGT community has started an online petition in hopes of moving the opinions of Hollywood executives to make our beloved American Icon Gay.
