As Cobra Command has surged along at a high rate of speed, I’m struggling a little bit to keep up, but trying my best! Cobra #11 was released today featuring the conclusion to Cobra Command, but I figured I can’t very well tackle a review of that one until I get last week’s installment off the table.
I’ve found myself surprisingly happy with the unfolding events in Nanzhao, even as some things that I’m normally not a huge fan of transpire around it. I was a bit discouraged to see the super human B.A.T.s become such a major component, though they were pretty quickly wiped off the map with the detonation of the nuclear device.
Speaking of which… click the read the rest of the story link for the full review.

Call me an addict if you want, but dammit I need my G.I. Joe: Retaliation fix!! It seemed for a while there like we were getting some stuff from G.I. Joe: Retaliation on a weekly basis, but it’s dropped off somewhat (beyond the press photos). My hunger for Retaliation news pretty much forced me to jump on and immediately consume issue #3 of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation movie prequel by John Warden, Salvadore Navarro, and Atilio Rojo…I’m really glad I did.
No mere movie adaptation here, Barber has elected to travel backwards in time a little bit and tell us some real origins of some of the Retaliation crew. Click the read the rest of the story link below for the full review.

I have no idea how this slipped by my radar when I was posting the other two 5-Page previews, but thanks to The Terror Drome for opening my eyes! Especially because in this short 5-page preview we get some incredible character cameos by Airtight, Dee-Jay, Mutt, and even Razorclaw (!!!!). Awesomeness.
Check out the 5-Page preview below. Can’t WAIT to check this out tomorrow! Check out what I thought about issue #1 right here.

The only hope for survival lies in an unusual alliance between Snake Eyes and master-of-the-occult Crystal Ball. And who knows what role Storm Shadow will play! Pulse pounding horror excitement awaits!

Loikamania is a mostly comic-based podcast, which occasionally drifts over into wrestling talk, but comic professionals make regular appearances throughout podcast episodes. Special attention from G.I. Joe fans should be paid to Episode 81, which was actually released a couple of weeks ago.
In Episode 81, Pat Loika brings in Christos Gage and Mike Costa and does a blow-by-blow “writer’s commentary” of G.I. Joe: Cobra Volume 1. The two writers of the series talk about the evolution of the best G.I. Joe book on shelves today and offer some great behind the scenes intel and conversation about the book.
Very cool stuff. Check out Episode 81 of Loikamania right here!
