Read MoreIn my quest to get old school G.I.Joe fans to start reading the new IDW G.I.Joe comics I really feel I don’t have to do much. Legend Larry Hama’s work speaks for itself. A lot of old school fans are immediately turned off with the mere mention of new modern character . But, if we want G.I.Joe to live on, we have to give them a chance, and so far I have been blown away by the new characters! The other notion is the SJW factor. We all know how terrible…

Read MoreBackground Issue 49 introduced us to the more “science fiction” strand of the G.I.Joe legend and mythos. Synthesizing DNA harvested from various decaying corpses is not something we can do now, let alone in the 1980’s. But Larry Hama proves ahead of the curve on human cloning as a viable possibility for a story arc. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 49 in case you missed it.

Read More2004 was a great year for me. I was celebrating 5 years at my current job, my wife and had our first child, and although I was still a few years away from becoming a collector, G.I. Joe put out a killer line up of Joes. There were some nice new characters, some cool comic packs and some awesome sub teams. I have a handful of figures from 2004 but I’m working on getting a bunch more from this year. Some of my favorite new figures from this year include, Hard Drive…

Read MoreHello Friends, in this week’s episode we are picking up the action adventure in this all new issue of G.I.Joe Sierra Muerte. What makes this issue fun, is we get to see some old classic G.I.Joe characters like Doc, that have not been featured in a comic since the infamous Marvel Issue #109! We also get to see Hawk with blond hair! I think this issue has the feel of a Sunbow character episode over anything I’ve covered. I ask the viewer/reader to ask themselves the same question does it…
Read MoreDon’t you wish you would have had these GI Joe’s as a kid??? G.I. Joe has always been my favorite line. There have been so many great vehicles and figures over the years but there are some things I wish we would have seen made over the years. The first thing that comes to my mind is some awesome bikes for the Dreadnoks. It would have been awesome to see a couple Cobra bikes for them to ride. Torch, Ripper, and Buzzer sporting a Chopper, a Hog, and an Indian would have been awesome, although…
