G.I. Joe #155 1/2
May. 1st, 2010 03:35 pmarbre_rieurFor Free Comic Book Day, IDW released G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #155 1/2, a prologue of sorts to the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series proper, whose first issue will be #156. The series is in the same vein as Marvel's recent "Forever" books, in that it's Larry Hama continuing where he left off all those years ago, as if the intervening comics never happened.
Eight* pages under the cut...

Ninja, please!
Apr. 24th, 2010 10:17 amseriousficLike most comics in the 90s, G.I. Joe got bad. How bad? Well, let's take a look at a random cover.
That bad. The Law of Conservation of Ninjitsu clearly states that the fewer ninjas you have, the more badass they are. There's just something cool about an army that just happens to have a ninja on their side. But when the ninjas get their own department and their own stationary and they start taking ninja smoke breaks, propping the door open so their smoke bombs don't cloud up the whole office, it's just a little silly. Here's some more bad things that happened in the 90s.
( With ninjas. )

What if Larry Hama never left G.I. Joe?
Mar. 29th, 2010 04:20 pmarbre_rieurIn the same vein as Marvel's X-Men Forever and X-Factor Forever, IDW is going to put out a G.I. Joe series by Larry Hama that continues right off from his last issue, as if none of the comics since then have happened.
Newsarama has a preview up of the first isssue, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #155 1/2, here.

seriousficSay you're Cobra Commander. You want to take over the world. Inevitably, you're going to recruit some odd characters to help you do it. But after a while, it must get to you sharing an office with guys who dress like this. But if metal suspenders, a codpiece, thigh-high boots, and a hairstyle that went out of fashion in WW1 aren't enough to make you snap, what can?

Snake Eyes will fight your ninjas
Feb. 13th, 2010 01:51 pmseriousficSo waaay back in GI Joe 21, after the title's first big story arc, there were a series of "cooldown" issues before the story got underway again. One of them was completely free of dialogue, which is interesting for a comic in the 80s based on children's toys. The story goes like this: Scarlett has been captured by Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes goes in to rescue her. Hey, you see how complex you can make a plot without having any dialogue.
So we pick up in Destro's castle, where Scarlett has already started her own damn escape while Snake Eyes is infiltrating. Then, some of Storm Shadow's ninjas confront everyone's favorite mute, scarred ninja.
( Fight! )

A liberal apologia for GI Joe, Part Six
Feb. 10th, 2010 09:19 pmgeoffsebestaIssue #7 awaits below the cut. The Joe team commits their very first war crime!
Not their last, though.
Anyway, once again, for those who've never read them, the GI Joe cartoon has the same relationship to the comic book that the Left Behind books have to the Bible. What I mean to say is, screw the cartoon.

Plus, sunglasses are always cool
Feb. 7th, 2010 04:44 pmseriousficEverybody loves Snake Eyes and it's pretty easy to see why just from the early days of the comic, when I think he just wears sunglasses and a ski mask. While it's hard to tell Breaker from Stalker, Snake Eyes sets himself apart with horrific scars, no dialogue, and a certain mystique that comes from never saying how badass you are when other people can do it for you.
