Did you ever want to go back in time? Back to the simpler times… back to the times before we found out G.I. Joe: Retaliation was delayed for nine months?
Now you can! Hot on the heels of the biggest G.I. Joe story in years, we give you Episode 56 of What’s on Joe Mind where we discuss none of it! In our defense, we have valid reasons for that, considering we recorded it before the news hit. Regardless, there were still plenty of great things to discuss this episode, as we bring on Gary “Gyre-Viper” Head from the JoeDeclassified SpecOps Podcast to talk a little bit about the JoeDeClassified project and what convention attendees might expect to see at the booth.
Arune Singh from Marvel Comics joins us as well as we continue our pushed towards JoeCon and G.I. Joe: Retaliation… err… crap. As always, hit up our Podbean Page, or just check out the embedded player below. Show Notes as usual are after the jump.

The figures currently available at Dollar General stores nationwide are causing quite a stir in the community. Hot demand combined with low quantities, and amplified by rumors of a recall (which I believe are totally false, for the record) has all jettisoned these figures towards the top of many fans’ want list.
But how are they really? Once you look past the insane demand, how successfully are these as G.I. Joe figures?
GeneralsJoes gets to the bottom of it! I’ve started with the bad guys first and will review the good guys tomorrow.
First, I do have to say I hope you all accept my apologies…I am still in mid-move, so as a result, my review station isn’t quite as optimal as it has been in reviews past. I’m forced to use the Flash a lot more as I’m having trouble finding consistent lighting sources. The result is that some images are washed out a little more than I would prefer. Also, most of my figures are packed in storage, which has greatly limited my ability to do comparison shots. I’m hoping once I’m settled at the beginning of July, I can straighten things out again and get my reviews back to the level you all expect, but I appreciate your patience until that happens.

This is the day! Robert Atkins brings his talents back to the pages of IDW’s G.I. Joe universe with the 13th issue of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Apparently going back to their roots in a way, the book takes an apparent look back at the early days of the Arashikage sword brothers’ relationship.
Looks like a “must read” book for the IDW universe. Check out the advanced preview below, and pick up the issue this week in comic stores everywhere!
