We’ve been hearing about them for a few months now, and the pre-orders have officially gone live! Gentle Giant’s entry into the vintage G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero line is officially up for pre-order on Big Bad Toy Store. Check out the link below to pre-order and also take a peek at the great images courtesy of Gentle Giant themselves.
Okay, I have to admit, that Rock n Roll looks pretty sharp in those pictures. This isn’t a line I plan on collecting, to be honest, but I can’t argue that seeing the vintage figure in that size and with those crisp paint apps is a pretty awesome nostalgia punch.
Good stuff.

Amazon.com has launched a sale on many of their Kindle Worlds offerings, including a couple of my own books.
Normally $3.99 they have been marked at sale prices of $1.99, which makes it a perfect time to get caught up on my G.I. Joe universe. For folks who have been enjoying my dio-stories over the years, that universe began with my “Price of Peace” books, all of which are currently on the Kindle Worlds platform.
Check out the following links below to take advantage of this great sale!
There are scores of offerings from other great writers, too, so take this opportunity to do some G.I. Joe reading!

No, you didn’t accidentally hit the wrong toy website this morning, I really am talking about a Transformers book.
Why? Well, first and foremost the authors Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster have also worked quite a bit in the G.I. Joe realm with the Field Manual books, and I consider Jim a good friend, so I’m happy to send some traffic his way.
But this is a bit self serving, too… I think we’ve all been clamoring for a package art book for G.I. Joe for a long time, and while much of that art may have unfortunately been lost to the sands of time, I think strong sales for a book like this on the Transformers side might convince some folks that more G.I. Joe artwork themed books would be in demand as well.
So, check out their book
, consider buying it…after all, even for Joe fans, you can’t argue the cultural and historical significance of some of the art in this book and it would make a fantastic conversation piece. Click the banner below to buy it up.

The issue hit comic shops a good two weeks ago, and I am ashamedly slow on the draw, but I had to get my opinions of this new G.I. Joe relaunch from IDW Publishing down on digital paper.
I will admit right up front, I was hesitant to embrace this new theme for the comic, not because it seemed out of place, but because it seemed so far “in place”. In other words, the same themes G.I. Joe has been running with over the past four years. What could Karen Traviss do differently where others hadn’t yet explored?
As it turns out… there were some unexplored avenues, and Traviss spanned those waters nicely.

Before the G.I. Joe team can stop Cobra, they must continue to press through the Access Tunnels, but someone may pay the ultimate price…
