The G.I. Joe team has finally reached the Cobra Command Center, but they find some tough resistance in the form of Cobra’s Crimson Guard! The battle is joined and already bodies are falling on both sides… plus, a dramatic reunion that could shift the landscape of battle!

It is with shock and sadness that I report the sudden passing of comic artist Jeremy Dale who apparently passed away in his sleep a few short nights ago from an undisclosed illness. Jeremy performed the art chores of many interiors for G.I. Joe comics that were packaged with the 25th Anniversary Comic Packs. He relished his place in the G.I. Joe hierarchy and was extremely active in the convention circuit. He always took time to talk to all of the fans that came his way and legitimately appeared to love being a part of G.I. Joe comic history.
The family asks that you leave condolences over on the Jeremy Dale Facebook page and keep watching there for any updates.
Everyone here at GeneralsJoes wishes the Dale family and friends our deepest, most sincere condolences.
Every year the great folks from Codename: Iowa put together Assembly Required, an annual show to celebrate the greatness of G.I. Joe. This year is certainly no different.
Featuring the talents of timeless comic artist Ron Wagner as well as some great insight from the guys at JoeDeClassified and a customizing seminar from the fine folks at JoeCustoms.com, Assembly Required is shaping up to be something special.
It can be found at the Des Moines Social Club on November 8th, 2014 – this weekend!
Check out CodenameIowa.com and make sure you’re watching their Facebook page for all the previews of their great new minimalist prints as well. Speaking of prints, check out an exclusive first look at their great USS Flagg print that will be for sale! Check out the image below.
It seemed like for a while, it was all about G.I. Joe: Battleground. When the mobile game first launched, I was absolutely hooked, and played solidly for several months. After a while the brutal non-stop Events, the money it would eventually seem to require to stay on top of it wore me down, but I continued to follow the progress, if only to remain hooked on any new artwork that would emerge. To me, the art was always the selling point. Spectacular painted artwork of characters from the mainstream to the obscure were always the best parts of the game updates and the new events.
It’s a shame that appears to be going away.
Mobage posted an update to the G.I. Joe: Battleground game tonight essentially bidding farewell to the game and posting a very heartfelt “good bye”. It seems a shame, because any time less exposure is out there for G.I. Joe it’s a bad thing, but also because even though I no longer played, I still was very much paying attention to any new artwork that emerged.
What’s a little odd about this is the sense of regret that the announcement is written in. It almost seems as if this wasn’t their decision… could it be at all connected to Hasbro’s deal with Backflip Studios? Granted that deal was made public almost 18 months ago, but…
I’m sorry to see it go. Check out the images below and sound off… did you still play it? What did you think of the art?
Thanks to James Kavanaugh, Jr. over on the G.I. Joe Discussion Group for breaking the news.
The doors to the Cobra command center have been broken and the G.I. Joe team is at the gates! But what machinations are going on behind the scenes with General Flagg?

We’re on a Kre-O roll these days with the Terror Drome, then two waves of mini figures within the span of a month! For fans of these little guys, it’s been a great few months here. Yes, I am a fan of them, so I’ve been loving it, myself, even if the lack of blind bag codes has punched me in the gut a little bit.
That’s part of the reason the review was delayed a bit… it took some extra time to finagle some trading partners to fill my Kre-On roster. Thankfully I’ve got some great G.I. Joe collector friends, though, who hooked me up good and proper!
