The guys over at JoeCanuck have been going strong for two years now, and have posted Issue #25 of the JoeCanuck newsletter. You can check it out here. I’m happy to say I’ve helped contribute to this particular issue, with a review of the Canadian JoeCon exclusive Chacal Noir!
Enjoy.
It must be new comics day coming up, because we’ve got 5-page previews of upcoming issues of G.I. Joe #14 as well as G.I. Joe: Origins #11. Both issues prove to be interesting additions to the continuity with the first appearance of the Hard Master and a focus on Beachhead’s memory loss…hopefully filling in some of the blanks.
Check out the 5-page previews below!

This has been a straggler, but I finally got the Desert-Viper added to the Rise of Cobra Reviews Page. Check it out right here.
Who would have thought anything sporting the “Battleforce: 2000” moniker would be considered “kick ass”? Honestly, even the shameless fanboy that I am, I didn’t find much redeeming about Battleforce: 2000 back in the day. Well, except for Dodger. He became a really interesting character after he survived the bombing run that killed the rest of his team, and his figure was definitely the best of the lot, but beyond that, the figures were clunky, the weapons were horrible, and even the face sculpts were doofy looking. Those plastic empty shell vehicles that formed into the lamest “base” I’d ever seen certainly didn’t help either.
But leave it to a G.I. Joe fan to polish up Battleforce: 2000 and really make it cool. For whatever reason these designs really did NOT work for me in 1987, but seeing heretics awesome work bringing them to life in the 25th Anniversary format is a totally different story. These figures look fantastic. They call back to 1987 perfectly, yet with the larger, somewhat more streamlined figure design these days, they really end up looking better than they did back in the day. Awesome looking customs and very faithfully represented.
I found these customs on The Terror Drome initially, and you can check out Heretic’s custom page here.

With some recently changed lineups and some even more recent news stories, I’ve gone through my various SuperPages and made some tweaks and ad justments.
After Toy Fair rolls through on February 13th, expect a totally revamped Pursuit of Cobra SuperPage reflecting the changed lineup and new toys.
