I will admit right up front that I know absolutely nothing about the Danger Girl universe. I was an avid comic reader in the 90’s, and read many Image titles, but for whatever reason, Danger Girl was not one of them. As such, this series doesn’t necessarily captivate me from the cross-over appeal, just more as a G.I. Joe story.
In that regard, it works to a certain degree, though I’m looking forward to seeing a bit more depth explored throughout the remaining three issues.

Kickstarter seems to be bringing lots of projects to light that might not have ever been considered, and in my mind, that’s a good thing. So many people have some great ideas and never got the opportunity to showcase those ideas, mostly because they couldn’t get the backing of a corporate sponsor or the finances together to make the project happen.
I’ve spent a lot of time toting the Hero Project lately, and while spending some time on Kickstarter, another project has caught my eye.
Animation professional and Iraq veteran Richard C. Meyer has launched a Kickstarter for his Graphic Novel, told from the perspective of a veteran, and looking at a very real world battle situation. It is a true story about Marco Martinez, a Marine rifleman whose heroic bravery saved many lives in one particular battle. Mr. Meyer felt so strongly about what he witnessed and what he heard first-hand, he wanted to make sure this story got told.
Richard is also a big G.I. Joe fan, and I really think military enthusiasts, as you see throughout the G.I. Joe community, will appreciate this story. I think it appeals to most of us on many different levels. This story was initially released in 2008 and has received several great reviews, but the goal of this Kickstarter campaign is not only to get the book back out into circulation, but also to digitally color it and expand on the story.
It’s very close to its goal, with about 13 days left to go, so please consider supporting it on Kickstarter.

From one Convention right into another. Fresh off of our return to normal broadcasting schedule from the 2012 G.I. Joe Convention, the crew from What’s on Joe Mind immediately jumps to the next convention, this time the familiar ComicCon in San Diego.
With not much G.I. Joe news likely there, we bring in Arune Singh to talk about Marvel’s presence there and what we might expect from the House of Ideas. We also bring in Moira Hunger to talk in more detail about the IDW seminar at JoeCon and comic nerdery in general.
But it’s not all about Comics, there is a healthy helping of G.I. Joe talk as well. Check out our latest episode on our Podbean Page, or via the embedded players below. Show notes as always are after the jump.

When word came out of the G.I. Joe Convention that Robert Atkins was leaving the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow book with issue #16, I died a little bit on the inside, but hey, he’s still doing some covers so it’s all good!
Speaking of covers, Mr. Atkins recently finished his year long posting frenzy of daily updates to his blog, and celebrated that fact by posting an awesome composite image of every single G.I. Joe cover he’s done to date. It’s an awesome and nostalgic look back at the past several years in G.I. Joe comic covers, and it really shows how much Robert has grown as an artist over the past few years.
Check out the latest post here, and follow Robert Atkins on Twitter. I look forward to seeing his covers and hope his skills grace the interiors of a G.I. Joe universe book again soon!
