The Problem with Interrogating a Ninja
Feb. 4th, 2011 11:04 pm
In Larry Hama's G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #161, the Joes must interrogate Storm Shadow to make sure he's not a double agent. But that's easier said than done when your interrogatee is a ninja.

So this week in IDW's G.I Joe Cobra #12, the cover didn't lie; one surely died.
And with that death came the seeds of the canon's upcoming Season 2 revamping, the end of the MASS Device arc and the beginning of the Cobra Civil War.
( A sudden death, it was, one not especially telegraphed. )

Greetings True Believers!
Here is my entry for Day 6 of 30 Days of Winter. This might be the greatest G.I. Joe story ever told.
The flow of it is wonderful and Snake-Eyes and Scarlett are unstoppable bad-asses in it and it's the first ever appearance of Storm Shadow. Larry Hama was born to write G.I. Joe.
Enjoy G.I. Joe #21, "Silent Interlude".

Like a lot of IDW's G.I Joe, everyone's favorite distinctively helmed subversive element is both reiteration and reinvention.
This Commander of Cobra is less fervent and strident than most other versions; understated suits make the majority of his clothing. He's not had much of a presence in what we've seen of Cobra's operations so far, preferring to leave that sort of thing up to the Baroness or the Crimson Twins.
His voice and will are still felt, however; he's chastised Cobra naval officers, lost a bit of his temper with Zartan's clone, and mocked the clan McCullen's command of Latin.
Until this month's G.I Joe: Cobra II (#10), he hasn't really taken the opportunity to take center stage.
( When he does, though, he starts making up for missed time.. )

In four issues, Chuck Dixon's G.I Joe ongoing ends.
Next April, it begins its second Season at #0, kicking off a " Cobra Civil War. "
Something that could be very interesting, given the nature and capability of IDW's Cobra, an organization that's surprisingly not out for the world..
( ..because they've already got it. )

What the hell, some G.I. Joe!
May. 31st, 2010 12:31 pmSo the Joes are in South America to do something involving a coup. This being G.I. Joe, Cobra, Destro, a fruit company cartel, and other sinister forces are at work. But in the midst of all that, our boys pay a visit to the embassy.

G.I. Joe #155 1/2
May. 1st, 2010 03:35 pmFor 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 amLike 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. )

Apr. 13th, 2010 11:06 amWhen it comes to titles hit hard by the 90s, G.I. Joe is right up there. You see... wait, that guy looks kinda familiar.
