GeneralsJoes Top Ten moments in Dr. Venom's Cobra Career

As I conclude this week focusing some attention on Dr. Venom, I thought it only appropriate to do up a post about Dr. Venom’s short, but illustrious career with the Cobra organization.  I know Gary “cmderinchief” already posted his views, but I’ve got my own unique take!  Below are what I consider Dr. Venom’s “Top Ten” moments in his short, but storied history.  Click the “Read the rest of this Entry” link below to check out the full blown rundown!

You can take back The Pit… TODAY!

Just a reminder that today is the final day for the  GeneralsJoes “Take Back The Pit” contest.  Observant and persistent readers should have four images now, and the fifth one will be posted today at some point.
The first person to email me (at justin@generalsjoesreborn.com) all five images will win a G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Pit Playset!
Full details are right here.
Don’t forget, too, that Dr. Venom is currently available for pre-order at the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club online store.  We’ve been waiting for this figure for twenty-five years, don’t miss it now!
Best of luck!

GeneralsJoes interviews Marvel G.I. Joe artist Mike Vosberg

I figured with all of the attention Dr. Venom is getting on the site this week, it would be neat for me to spend a few minutes talking to one of the most influential folks behind the character of Dr. Venom.  Mike Vosberg was the artist on the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comic way back in those days, and the look was the immortal Cobra scientist was born from his hands.  But trust me, you know Mike Vosberg from a lot of other things beyond just G.I. Joe.  He was the man who drew the comic pages for the Tales from the Crypt TV series, and he has also done storyboarding for countless Hollywood projects.
For these few minutes, though, I talked to him about G.I. Joe, and about Dr. Venom specifically.  Some of his answers are interesting…and for anyone who thinks Grand Moff Tarkin is a good head for a Venom custom, turns out there’s a reason for that!  Click the “Read the rest of this Entry” link below to read the full interview, and a huge thanks to Larry Hama and Mike Vosberg for setting up this interview!
