Even though I feel very honored to have a couple GeneralsJoes fans who took the time and energy to write up reports for the site based on what they’ve seen from new footage, I also wanted to look elsewhere as well, just to get an idea about the feedback that other sites were providing as well.
You can check out the GeneralsJoes reports by Dave Tree and Russ Sheath, and also hit up the What’s on Joe Mind Special Edition, but then hit up a few of the links below.
Obviously there are a ton of other links out there, but I figured this would at least get folks started. The short answer is there seems to be a LOT of love for this film even outside the hardcore Joe fans or hardcore geek circles. Hopefully the positive buzz keeps roaring all the way through the end of June!
With thanks to GeneralsJoes Twitter follower LtHowlett for letting me know that an exclusive G.I. Joe: Retaliation has hit Mexico! There is some new footage in the trailer as well.
Check it out below.
EDIT/UPDATE – Apparently this video is not available outside of the Mexico region. Apologies, we will endeavor to find a different source for this footage as soon as possible.
The hits just keep on coming! While this trailer is quite similar to the US one, there is some additional footage in the Cobra “war room” and some extra dialogue with Firefly! Hot damn!
Check out the trailer right here, or embedded below. A big thanks to Dave Tree from All the Cool Stuff for the heads up!
Looks like a double decker at comic shops this week as Wednesday brings us both the conclusion for the G.I. Joe: Retaliation prequel series and Issue #12 of the ongoing Snake Eyes series which kicks off his new adventures apart from the G.I. Joe team!
Check out the previews for both of these issues below, one sale at comic shops everywhere on Wednesday.

COBRA COMMAND AFTERMATH! The most dangerous Joe is presumed K.I.A.—but we know different! SNAKE EYES returns to the HARD MASTER to deliver some shocking news as only the silent JOE can.

Oh no, I’m not done yet! If I’m going to be up this damn early watching a trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, I’m doing it whole hog. I went through the entire trailer and pulled out as many new screen grabs as I could find.
I didn’t bother re-capturing most of the stuff we’ve already seen, I wanted to focus on the captures that were new in this particular trailer. There were plenty! See Firefly in his awesome balaclava…see the HISS Tanks rolling down the streets of Washington. See Jinx in a red ninja mask for the first time!
More and more good stuff. Check out the gallery below, but most importantly, check out the trailer!!
