Wow…you know, I’ve been impressed by Dave Wilkins’ G.I. Joe covers throughout the Cobra Command series, but somehow seeing them all together like this makes it even more impressive. Over on Twitter today, both The Real Jose Gon and The Terror Drome remarked how cool the covers were, and IDW took it to heart.
They posted a very cool Tumblr update that showcases all of the covers in one central place. They ROCK. As I said, I’ve enjoyed them, but seeing them all collected together is even cooler. His artistic style is really unique and he manages to really bring out the characters nicely.
I’ve mirrored a few of the images below, but you should definitely hit up IDW’s Tumblr post to see them all. It’s worth your time.
The MTV Movie Blog has just gotten around to posting an update from one of their Toy Fair interviews by the looks of it, and in it they talk to DJ Cotrona and Adrianne Palicki about the relationship between Flint and Lady Jaye in the movie. From the sounds of it, the two characters have a bit of a past before we see it take shape in the film, but it continues to evolve in ways that fans should enjoy.

Another week, another installment in the Cobra Command multi-part adventure. IDW continues to use the same art team along with their regular compliment of writers to carry the story along and maintain a great sense of unity even as it hops from title to title. The results so far have been excellent, in my opinion.
What I really love about how the Cobra title is treating this story is that they are staying very much in continuity and sticking with the format, but you can definitely smell the Cobra vibe as you read the pages. This issue is no different.

Okay…don’t ask me how this happened, because I remember watching this trailer a couple of weeks ago, and I could have sworn I also posted a story for it, but apparently I’m smoking something. Or I was smoking something.
Regardless of my potential drug habit, this Korean version of the initial G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer hit the ‘net at least a couple of weeks ago, I believe, and is mostly unremarkable, with the exception of a few brief glimpses of more Storm Shadow. In Korea, Byung-Hun Lee is pretty hot stuff, so it only makes sense that the trailer for that market would have more Lee and less shirt. Ya know, for the ladies.
Check it out embedded below, and I apologize for somehow missing this. You’ll also find it mirrored on the G.I. Joe: Retaliation Film SuperPage as well.
This is just a reminder to let folks know that on March 6th, the complete first season of Transformers: Prime will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray Disc! What does this mean for Joe fans? Well, perhaps if sales are brisk enough for Transformers: Prime that means something good down the pipe for a potential G.I. Joe: Renegades… maybe I’m reaching at straws, but I’ll take that chance.
I’ll be reviewing the Season boxed set closer to release, but until then, check out these great clips that have been posted online! I actually really enjoy Transformers: Prime, and hopefully some attention on this boxed set will motivate Shout! Factory and Hasbro to get something similar done for G.I. Joe: Renegades. We’ll see. Enjoy the clips below!

Toy Fair is over a week past, and some video interviews are still emerging from the floor of the Hasbro showroom. This time around, Cinema Blend talks to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, and D.J. Cotrona.
You can check the video interviews at Cinema Blend, or look at the embedded videos below.
Another very cool update for the upcoming G.I. Joe: Initiate fanfilm! Last week and this week they posted two new cast images, this time for Tunnel Rat and Chuckles. The actors are really looking their part, and things are looking very high end.
I love how Chuckles image has a bit of a Cobra flair, like he might already be an undercover operative…
But as I said before, this great looking fan film needs our help. They need to get gas for the actor’s cars, get them meals…and whatever profit they make goes straight to the Wounded Warriors charity.
They are currently hovering just about 50% of their goal, but we need to step up and do what we can to push them over. Check out their Kickstarter page to help them out and keep up to date with the latest and greatest G.I. Joe: Initiate information at their Facebook page.
