For the past several months, popular online G.I. Joe archive site The Joe Index has been offline due to issues with their webhost. Well, I’m happy to report that the Joe Index is back online, under a new banner, now as TheGIJoeIndex.com.
While not quite complete, there is a wealth of great information with pictures, listings, year by year organization and a very unique interface. If you’ve been a fan of the site and have been missing it, you can now add it back to your favorites! If you haven’t checked it out, take this chance to do so, it’s another great resource.

There have been several scattered stories about this week already concerning IDW’s G.I. Joe titles, but instead of spending all sorts of real estate talking about each one individually, I figured I’d recap a bit.
- Comic Book Resources has posted a great interview with G.I. Joe: Origins creative team Marc Andreyko and Ben Templesmith. They focus much of their attention on G.I. Joe: Origins #12, which hit today and features The Baroness. A great read!
- Speaking of G.I. Joe: Origins #12, we already have two reviews of this latest issue, posted at The Terror Drome and Panels on Pages respectively.
Last, but not least, IDW has announced that G.I. Joe: COBRA II #1 has sold out at retail! They are currently working on issuing a second printing, with a special exclusive cover…check out the full press release after the jump!

After a somewhat tumultuous few days, The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club has posted the official brochure for the upcoming 2010 G.I. Joe Collectors’ Convention in Providence, Rhode Island. Lots of exciting news is contained within the brochure, including confirmation of a 15-figure Red Shadows exclusive set! The set is confirmed to contain the following:
- Black Major
- Interrogator
- 6 Red Torches
- 6 Red Shadow Troopers
- Flint
The set, entitled “Vacation in the Shadows” also promises to include a character seen for the first time in 3 3/4″ scale. Along with the figure set, the Collectors’ Club also has announced part of the convention package includes an exclusive Hasbro Tour for the first 400 registered convention goers! 100 more tickets will be raffled off as well, for a total of 500 tour members.

The TRU Exclusives are indeed hitting hot and heavy over the past few weeks, and the Terror Drome is staying right on top of it, with three reviews posted for Arctic Threat Doc, Arctic Threat Shipwreck, and the Sting Raider w/ Copperhead and Swamp-Viper. I will be posting my own review (courtesy of Mysterious Stranger) later today of the Sting Raider, but here are some mirrored images for the excellent reviews I linked above.
