YoJoe staffmember and comic specialist Josh “Antarctica” Eggebeen got a chance to catch an early screening of G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA, and was kind enough to post a VERY in depth review of the film here.
He gives a very well-balanced and fair look at the film from the perspective of a movie-goer as well as the perspective of a Joe fan, and has some great things to say. Overall he seems very pleased with the movie, even if it’s not exactly what he (and many others) were looking for in a film based off of G.I. Joe. It’s a great read, I recommend folks check it out, though beware, there are some spoilers.
In what’s one of the more impressive feature stories leading up to the release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA, SuperHeroHype.com had a chance to visit the set of G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA and has posted a mammoth set report! It’s broken up into several different parts, which I will link below:
We knew the 12″ Crimson Guard was a para-drop figure this year at the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Convention in Kansas City, but I don’t think any of us knew how bad ass he was going to look. This is one fantastic looking figure. GIJoeCon.com has posted a look at the figure here. I have mirrored two of the images below, but there are a lot more at the source.
Phil from JoeReloaded lets us know that he’s got a special sneak preview of the upcoming eighth issue of G.I. Joe: Origins. Check it out at his site, or take a peek at the mirrored images below.
Taking advantage of Harry Knowles glowing review, a new TV Spot has been produced for G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. It first showed up on the film’s Facebook page, but now tkprime has also embedded it in MySpace video. Check it out below, there is some new footage!
