My fellow podcast host Gary first reported this afternoon that a new G.I. Joe: Retaliation TV Spot had aired during the Daytona 500 via his Twitter feed. I don’t traditionally watch racing, but thankfully the guys at HissTank.com jumped on the TV and captured the TV spot in glorious HD.
You can see it on YouTube and embedded below. Lots of recycled footage, but also some cool new snippets as well, specifically of the Ripsaw taking a flying leap and Joe Colton kicking some Secret Service ass. Excellent.
Part of the reason I love doing these screen caps so much is that upon first watch, you don’t really notice many new details with the latest G.I. Joe: Retaliation TV Spot, but once I broke it down into screen caps, some more stuff became evident.
The explosion near the middle of the TV spot, for instance, seems to reveal a bit more of what looks like a Cobra HISS. Also a very cool group shot of Roadblock, Jinx, Snake Eyes, and Flint.
Granted, only a few scant seconds of new footage, but at this point, I think we’ll all digest whatever we can get. Good stuff!
Nothing livens up a Saturday night like a new G.I. Joe: Retaliation TV spot!
There is no way to type that sentence without sounding like a sad geek. But I embrace my sad geekness. Check out the video here, or the embedded video below, screen caps coming later.
It’s been a crazy recording week this week for the What’s on Joe Mind crew…heck for most of them it’s been a crazy few weeks! We spent some time this past week talking to various different folks at different levels of the geek stratosphere, but perhaps none with such a large following as Ryan Penagos, AKA Agent M on Twitter. As Executive Editorial Director for Marvel.com he has his hands in many different pies, and is of course, a social media mastermind.
We interrogate him about Marvel Comics, Marvel Studios, Twitter, and even manage to sneak in some G.I. Joe related discussion. Check it out on our Podbean page, or listen to the embedded player below. Click the Read the Rest of the Story link below the player for the show notes.
It seemed like just two weeks ago that the first issue of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation prequel hit… mostly because it was. Wasting no time, IDW plans to continue their operations in the G.I. Joe: Retaliation timeline this coming Wednesday with their second issue.
And like with the first, an online site has a sneak preview! This time around it’s i09.com and you can check out the first handful of pages from the Retaliation prequel #2 right here.
I just checked them out, and… I’m interested! I thought the first issue was fine, but nothing mind-blowing. The second issue, though, looks like it ties Mainframe and Roadblock’s backstory together nicely. And holy crap Sky Sweeper! LOVE IT.
I’ve mirrored one of the pages below, be sure to hit up i09.com for the rest.
