But in today's GI JOE #213, it happens A bit like this. In fact, exactly like that A suicidal jump taking Serpentor with him and blowing him up A bit like Batman's dad today. And coming to take his place – or at least his mask,,,Throwdown, or Sean Collins/Sean Broca Snake Eyes' apprentice. First appearance, GI Joe #30 from 1984[...]

This was the solicited "subscription variant" cover to GI Joe #6 by Dheeraj Verma, featuring the Baroness. Heavy on the butt, but nothing unusual But on publication…. A little photoshopping on that machine gun And IDW gets to swap buttocks for rifles.. Reminded me a little of how Marvel dealt with *that* cover…   [...]

Where supply and demand and most accurately reflected, where you can see which books are hot, where new orders are coming in and how retailers are reacting to new, unanticipated desire! A turnaround for this week's chart, as IDW and Dark Horse take the to four spots between them, GI Joe taking the top spot and[...]

And while it challenges sexist stereotypes, it does have a fine line in racial ones to make up for it… While the cast of Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 #4 prefer to go right for the jugular. Well, what else is a woman to do late at night in a GI Joe bunker? You can't get a wi-fi[...]

From Earth 2: Worlds End #3, remember any scene set in London, you can always see Big Ben clock tower... The Wicked + The Divine #5 rejects that utterly.

Joe: Retaliation both did well enough that a third installment will be coming our way at some point. Collider spoke to franchise producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who is also behind Transformers and other big action franchises, and who says GI Joe 3 is on track to start filming in early 2015. They're currently negotiating with their chosen[...]

Joe Three. It's the Arashikage clan tattoo, from the GI Joe ninja clan central to the origins of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow It seems to indicate that the GI Joe movie folks may have realised that Snake Eyes is the Wolverine of the franchise. Also an indication that the third GI Joe film may be mining Larry Hama's Marvel run, and/or the toy[...]

So… anyone hungry? Ash and The Army[...]
