Coming up Wednesday, we get our first look at G.I. Joe: Special Missions (not to mention issue #2 of the main G.I. Joe title), but as of right now, we are also getting our first glimpse into the mind of Mike Costa as we prepare for The Cobra Files, IDW’s upcoming next iteration of the Cobra title that’s been running for several years.
Continuing the adventures of Flint, Lady Jaye, Chameleon, Ronin, and the whole secret Black Ops division of G.I. Joe, Cobra Files takes the Joe universe in ways that folks might not expect. And don’t expect any more punches pulled this time around either.
Mike Costa puts out a fantastic interview, and we get a peek at some preview pages as well, including the return of a classic Cobra character! Check out all the details on Comic Book Resources.
Lady Jaye, Roadblock, and Snake Eyes oh my! MSN Movies has revealed three exclusive images from G.I. Joe: Retaliation featuring a trio of our favorite G.I. Joe operatives. Check out these latest images on MSN Movies, or mirrored below.
The production team and PR folks behind G.I. Joe: Retaliation have been doing a fantastic job with the Cobra Special Forces concept, producing very motivational, recruitment-style videos encouraging people to join Cobra, “see the world” and defend freedom.
While we all know the truth behind Cobra, it would seem in the Retaliation world, they don’t know any better. I’m not sure how many new recruits those videos pulled into the fold, but it would now appear that the Cobra truth is revealed! Cobra Commander himself takes to the airways to tell of Cobra’s true calling…
For folks who aren’t following me on Twitter, I announced a short while ago that both GeneralsJoes and What’s on Joe Mind have representatives LIVE and IN PERSON at the London premiere of G.I. Joe: Retaliation! They will be doing interviews and getting us eager G.I. Joe fans the skinny on what to expect when the movie launches on March 28th!
Expect to see GeneralsJoes and the What’s on Joe Mind podcast hoppin’ with great content leading up to the film next week.
I cannot thank Russ and Dave from All the Cool Stuff enough for pitching in and helping out. This is gonna be HUGE.
Good grief, I just might die of anticipation before this movie even comes out…
Digital Spy has posted a very nicely composed G.I. Joe: Retaliation preview/trailer with a good mix of many of the action sequences we’ve seen before. But mixed within these action sequences are some new seconds of footage as well! See a great front shot of the HISS Tank, and Lady Jaye in a sports bra!
One of those may be more enjoyable than the other…it will depend on your point of view.
Check out the trailer at Digital Spy, or embedded below.
I hope you’re listening, Paramount. If I die from anticipation before I see this movie, and you delayed it 9 months, it is YOUR FAULT.
