Comic Book Resources interviewed IDW editor Chris Ryall lately, and while discussing former editor Andy Schmidt's work on Transformers Comics and GI Joe Comics. Ryall touched upon the currently ongoing Cobra Civil War:
Right. Speaking to some of the other licenses, another one under Andy’s purview was “G.I. Joe,” which was just recently relaunched into the “Cobra Civil War” arc. How has response been to that? I think the “Cobra Civil War” thing’s been going over really well. Again, I hate to see Andy go, I liked him personally and professionally, but he left with the books really aimed in some nice directions on both of those titles. “Cobra Civil War” is off to a really good start and I think once fans see who the new Cobra Commander is and where things go from there, it’s sort of a multi-tiered approach to where we want to take “G.I. Joe.” Each time it sort of builds upon what’s gone before and makes it bigger and better, and I think the new Cobra Commander, when that all shakes out, that’s going to be a really exciting thing for people too. Who will become the new Cobra Commander? |

HISS Tank boards member JWelborn made one hell of a 1st post, showing his penciled drawing of Snake Eyes VS Storm Shadow! The battle between the 2 sword brothers has been a popular theme in GI Joe lore, one retold in many incarnations of GI Joe since the 80's.

We smelled what The ROCK was cooking on Twitter recently, and it was the following:
Launching into my GI Joe training now - 2x's a day. U have my word GI Joe will be iconic and bad ass. To reiterate:
With that said, perhaps GI Joe II will feature more iconic designs derived from the GI Joe A Real American Hero series, going much further in paying homage to the classics, than the Rise Of Cobra. Do you smeelllllllll what the roadbROCK is cooking?! |

MTV spoke with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura recently, where Bonaventura revealed some more info on GI Joe II; more ninjas, the movie centers on Snake Eyes and the biggest character/casting so far, Roadblock:
Tags: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog "It's a full-on lead role," he said of Roadblock's presence in the film. "In a way, he and Snake-Eyes, their stories are really dynamic and very important." "The ninja fans are going to love it," he said of the sequel. "There's a tremendous amount of it. What's interesting is, we both have that going on in the Snake-Eyes story, but we've found a way to bring that element into the Joes' story. I think anybody who's a fan of dark, in the middle of the night [action with] a dangerous foe arriving, this is a movie for you." As for Roadblock, di Bonaventura added: "Rock is such a great character to have in 'G.I. Joe.' It's an amazing combination. We would not be very good if we didn't fully utilize him, so he's going to have a lot of things to do. It is an ensemble movie, so you have other characters certainly playing it out." So, more ninjas and Roadblock, what do you think Joe fans? |

Deadline has just posted an article revealing that Adrianne Palicki has been cast as Lady Jaye for GI Joe II:
Friday Nights Lights series star Adrianne Palicki will play the female lead in the Paramount sequel to G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes. She'll play Lady Jaye and joins a cast that includes Channing Tatum, as well as Dwayne Johnson, who signed on to play the role of Roadblock in the Jon M. Chu-directed film Interestingly enough, the article also mentioned Joe Colton: The big question is who Paramount sets in the role of the original G.I. Joe, Joe Colton. I've heard Bruce Willis as a top choice, but last time I checked the studio was eyeing several actors, insiders said. What do you think of the new Lady Jaye, and the news of Joe Colton in GI Joe II? |

According to screenwriter Rhett Reese, purists will be happy with GI Joe II, and also mentioned the following:
So who could the new big actor/characters be? Which characters do you want to see in the movie and which actors/actresses do you think should play them? With all the recent news, GI Joe II is sounding like a substantially different movie than Rise Of Cobra. |

HISSTank.com member ceraurus made this custom Pursuit Of Cobra Grunt as part of his original 13 project...
"I've decided to make POC-like versions of the original 13 joes--still my favorite characters--as a long-term project. First up is Grunt. He's fairly straight-forward, using all the parts from POC Snake Eyes except the head and helmet (from Dusty), and the backpack (ROC Desert Duke?). I made the paint job more detailed than I usually do, so that it fits more with the POC aesthetic. Coming up next: Rock 'n' Roll." Click the Discuss button for all the pics & details. |

The Iron Grenadier character has been a fan favorite since it's release back in 1988. As the elite guard of Destro, the I.G. has seen many incarnations, from Destro's Elite to Cobra Trooper, Convention Exclusive and back.
The Pursuit of Cobra line brings us the Iron Grenadier once again, this time as heavy weapons troopers that serve Cobra in the City Strike Arena. HissTank.com forum member danielgogeta has shared another of his stunning pictorial reviews with us, focusing on the IG and his heavy armor goodness. You can check out the review in it's entirety after the jump. |

We posted a Sky Striker XP21F Update back in May and now we have an additional update for you! Looks like we won't be waiting long for the Sky Striker XP21F:
So I thought I'd give an update on the status of the skystriker since I checked out the info in the system today. First off the big toy reset has the official date of July 31st. So most stores should be set within a week of that date. Right now there appears to be just over 9,000 skystrikers going to the distribution centers. There are under 2,000 stores so you can do the math. I would say every store will get at least two cases to start. There's of course more coming after that. Now on the figure side, not so cool. There's only about 240 figures on the way to distribution centers which tells me the new ones have not shipped yet. The whole not changing the dpci is kinda troublesome. In the past we clearance out the old to make way for the new, but doesn't look that way this time. So this could cause waiting for target to get the new ones. I will keep checking and give any more news as I find it. As for the figures, time will tell. Less than a month and the Sky Striker finally returns to US shelves after more than 2 decades! |
