It was announced a short while ago that Tom Scioli, a long time comics writer and artist, would be tackling the first ever G.I. Joe and Transformers crossover from IDW Publishing.
To prepare for this event, Mr. Scioli has been doing copious amounts of research on the classic Marvel Comics G.I. Joe series, and he has written a fantastic long form essay over on Comics Alliance breaking down some of his thoughts and perspective from this research. It’s a great look back in time at some of the early events of the Marvel series, and refreshing to see someone embrace and appreciate the quality of the Marvel Comics series back in the day.
Check out Comics Alliance to see this great article, it’s an awesome read, and the fact that Mr. Scioli is going to this length makes me feel pretty great about the upcoming series.

As one might expect, it looks like Lady Jaye will be back for another round in the sequel to the 2013 smash hit G.I. Joe: Retaliation. It’s a bit curious because I cannot find a precise quote where she states this, but IGN.com posted an interview with the actress, and in the interview, the following reference is made:
“And that very well may be. Palicki’s turn as Lady Jaye in the successful G.I. Joe: Retaliation — she says she’ll be back for G.I. Joe 3 by the way — and her ability to handle stunt work means that she frequently gets scripts for similar films.”
Having just watched the G.I. Joe: Retaliation film again last night, I’m looking forward to the return, and hope that DJ Catrona’s Flint joins her as well. I think The Rock and Ray Park are safe bets, too. Pretty cool to start hearing things come together already. Again, check out IGN for the full run down.
Make sure to keep watching for all the latest and greatest G.I. Joe movie news!

In the Convention brochure that was released a couple of days ago, the G.I. Joe Collectors Club revealed that the original voice actress for Scarlett BJ Ward would be attending the G.I. Joe convention in 2014. Well, the Collectors Club revealed today that Scarlett will have Duke by her side in Dallas, Texas!
That’s right, the immortal Michael Bell will be joining BJ Ward as a special guest of the 2014 G.I. Joe Convention in Dallas. Considering how awesome the voice actor reading was last year between Bill Ratner and Mary MacDonald-Lewis, I can only imagine what it will be like this year.
Make sure you keep checking GIJoeCon.com for all of the latest information from the G.I. Joe Convention!

Well, this is it. The very last issue of Mike Costa’s amazing take on the modern G.I. Joe universe. A twisted tale of intrigue, drama, and deep characterization, the Cobra (and thus, the Cobra Files) have helped redefine how the G.I. Joe universe as a whole is conceived.
Bug kudos to Costa, Gage, and Antonio Fuso who helped steer this ship from the very beginning. The preview for this landmark issue is below. Be sure to pick it up at comic shops tomorrow and see how it all ends.
G.I. Joe: The Cobra Files #9
