New episode of Flag Points podcast with Herb Trimpe interview!

by generalsjoes | Jan 13, 2012 | G.I. Joe, Podcasts

Now if that’s not cool, I don’t know what is…

Many folks consider Larry Hama the godfather of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (with good reason) but right alongside him for the first era of the modern military comic story was Herb Trimpe! A legend in the comic world (did anyone know Trimpe drew Wolverine’s first appearance in Incredible Hulk #180-181?) Trimpe breathed incredible life into both the Joes and the Cobras during those early comic issues.

Well, the guys over at Flag Points brought him on the show and interviewed him, and it is a GREAT listen. If you’re into G.I. Joe or just comics in general, you have to check it out.

Hop on over to their podbean site to take a listen.

Potential Super Bowl spot for G.I. Joe: Retaliation?

by generalsjoes | Jan 13, 2012 | G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe 2, G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation, G.I. Joe: The Movie

Thanks to Entertainment News International for pointing out via LA Times that several studios have lined up advertising for the upcoming Super Bowl, which is notorious for being the largest source of advertising for the entire year.

One of those movie studios is Paramount, and thinking among industry insiders is that the featured film will be G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

This has not yet been confirmed, but it certainly seems likely. Time will tell if any new footage will be shown, but let the countdown begin again!

Thanks again to ENewsI and the LA Times for the information.
