In a surprise email from the GI Joe Collectors’ Club, the location and dates of the 2011 G.I. Joe Convention have been revealed! Here is the context of the email:
“The 2011 International G.I. Joe Collectors’ Convention “G.I. Joe Con” will be held in Orlando, Florida, at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort, March 31-April 3! This is an outstanding property at an outstanding rate! You will not want to miss this one. Orlando will be perfect this time of year, so bring the whole family for this fun-filled weekend!
Make your hotel reservations now at GIJoeCon.com.
Convention registration will be available this fall. Watch for our new online registration system!”
The last time JoeCon was in Orlando was for the 2004 convention, and it was a BLAST. While I’m sure there will be some concern about the dates, hopefully no one will be upset about the location. Time to start thinking on whether or not I can make it next year.

Tomorrow is new comic day, and if nothing else, IDW has made it so a new G.I. Joe title is released nearly every week, which is pretty cool to see. This week it’s the mainstream Joe title that gets it’s 21st issue. Issue #21 in G.I. Joe lore has become a special trademark, and this time around appears to be no different. If the 5-page preview is any indication, we’ll be treated to another silent issue, though there appear to be far less ninjas involved this time.
Check out the gallery below.

G.I. Joe #21
Chuck Dixon (w) • Alex Cal (a) • Kelsey Shannon, Robert Atkins (c)
Action at crush depth as Shipwreck and his crew board a massive COBRA submarine to take control. But the clock is ticking as a nuke set in a deep underwater trench could blow, killing them and dooming Scarlett and Ripcord. This special image and its incentive cover pay homage to the classic G.I. Joe #21 “silent issue” from yesteryear!
*2 regular covers will be shipped in a 1-to-1 ratio.
FC • 32 pages • $3.99

Although I already have a nice number of Pursuit of Cobra items posted on the PoC Review Page, this begins the more official kick off of my Pursuit of Cobra reviews! Some of my previous reviews are based on pre-production items, or items I acquired prior to retail release, but the Mechs signify the first items I’ve bought from regular retail. Expect to see reviews continue full steam ahead until the first allotment of PoC greatness has been covered.
