A few different sources have begun posting reviews of the most recent issues of the G.I. Joe comics online… I’m starting to realize there just aren’t enough hours in the day for me to review everything I want to review, so I may have to be more selective. 🙁
Anyway, here’s what we’ve got so far sprinkling around the World Wide Web:
Very interesting reviews…I find it intriguing that the fringe books seem to be getting more positive buzz than the core book itself. It doesn’t seem to be a reflection of Chuck Dixon’s writing (since he’s writing the movie prequel as well) but, whatever the reason, that is the case. I do think that the core series started off somewhat slow, and has continued to crawl pace-wise for all 4 issues. I think something has to start ramping up in that title soon, or it may just get too drawn out. After all, the Marvel series told a very similar story way back in Issue #3, and it only took one issue to tell it. How long do we really need to see Destro’s henchman playing X-Box?

As these figures start trickling over from the eBay auctions, we’re getting more and more images of the Rise of COBRA Destro. JoeBattleLines stallwart, MaxPower has posted a bunch of pictures on this thread on JBL, and has also graciously allowed me to host the images here as well. Enjoy, and expect a full-fledged gallery and review once I get my own figure in hand.

According to very reputable JoeCanuck forum member Storm Shadow, the M.A.R.S. Industries Officer and Trooper 3-Pack movie preview item has begun hitting retail in Canada! It was found in a Wal-Mart in the Fairview Mall in Kitchener, Ontario. Check out the thread here!
Also check out the galleries below for more pics of these figures:

cmderinchief has gotten his hands on Destro from the Rise of COBRA toyline, and shared some more pictures! The gallery is below, and discussion threads can be found on JoeBattleLines and Coil Club.
This is not only one of the best movie-era figures I’ve seen yet, this is one of the best representations of Destro in the 3 3/4″ scale that I have ever seen. A remarkably cool looking figure with some very neat accessories. Well done, Hasbro! After seeing fan outcry about COBRA Commander over the last few days, it amazes me at just how “right” Destro came out.
