Aani2010 has put up an auction for a sketch of The Baroness by none other than Larry Hama! It's been a while since we've seen Hama take on art chores for comic, so bid now to own his take on Baroness! Proceeds for this auction go to the Asian American Network of Indiana(AANI), which will then "make a donation to Purdue University Libraries to purchase Asian American Studies Materials". More information by the seller:
Hey G.I. Joe fans! You are bidding on an original pencil sketch of G.I. Joe villainess Baroness, drawn by Larry Hama himself! Approximately 8.5 x 11”, the sketch is on cardstock feature Larry’s signature “Larry Hama ‘09” on the front next to the Baroness and ink stamp and signature on the back, dated August 22, 2009. From the Cobra insignia on her collars to her signature glasses, Baroness is portrayed in striking detail. G.I. Joe fans know that Baroness serves as Cobra's intelligence officer and lieutenant to Cobra Commander. With long black hair, black-rimmed glasses, and a black leather outfit, Baroness is described as a dark, sensual femme fatale whose beauty is matched only by her ruthlessness. In both comic and cartoon incarnations, as well as the 2009 live-action movie for the series, she has romantic relationships with Destro. Click on the thumbnail to the left to take a closer look! |

The G.I. Joe Collector's Club sent out an email revealing a new limited edition, 2010 GIJCC Convention exclusive souvenir figure today:
FLINT with parachute pack This "Para-Drop" Flint appears to be a tribute to the vintage 12" Adventure Team Pilot figure. The email from Master Collector had this to say about the figure: This year, Hasbro is sponsoring a private parachute drop for school kids to help promote the convention locally. Since Hasbro knew that the venue was not accessible to attendees, they wanted to make sure you were a part of this great event by giving you one of the limited edition Flint figures that will be used at the drop. These will be handed out to everyone with a convention badge who attends either of the two presentations given by Alan Hassenfeld on Friday morning. Stay tuned for more reveals to come!

Earlier today, on Twitter, The Huntsman tweeted a list of new cartoon titles, some of which we knew of such as Transformers PRIME, however another one stuck out. Which one? None other than the possible title to the new 26 episode GI Joe animated series set to debut on The Hub, GI Joe Renegades! While this is still a rumor and confirmation is still pending, it's not outside of the realm of possibility for this to be the title for the new series.

Fear Net recently had a chance to talk with Max Brooks about his upcoming World War Z movie, but in their interview, Brooks elaborated on GI Joe Hearts and Minds by IDW. Brooks is going for the three dimensional, realistic approach to the title, something he shares in common with GI Joe Cobra[ writers Christos Gage and Mike Costa. Here's what he had to say on Hearts & Minds:
What are you working on right now? Recorded Attacks just came out, so that's been doing great. Amazing. My next project, which comes out in May, is a comic book series for GI Joe. That was announced here. GI Joe: Hearts and Minds. And that's not like your typical GI Joe. Can we expect something darker, edgier? I don't know if it's darker. I can't compare to the other GI Joe series but I can tell you that it is certainly more human and that these people have very human problems and they deal with very human issues. It's certainly more three-dimensional I think. I don't know if it's more three-dimensional than the GI Joe series that are running now, but a lot more than the ones I grew up with. And it's not a linear story. It's more of a collection of interviews. It's more like a day in the life or an up-close-and-personal of a Joe or a Cobra. Are there supernatural or horror elements in this or is it a straight war book? It's similar to World War Z in that I took a very fantastic subject and I tried to make it as human and as real as possible. I've done the same thing with Hearts and Minds. I took a sort of fantastic, 1980s, pseudo-violent kind of series – harmless violent, no one ever dies – and made it much more realistic and much more accessible. I mean, I can tell you that we deal with issues like racism, we deal with science versus religion, we deal with medical ethics, medical malpractice, we deal with unemployment and the moral destruction of unemployment, destruction of the male ego… so these are the kinds of things that we do. Are you excited for Brooks upcoming entries into the GI Joe mythos? Share your thoughts by clicking the discuss button! |

Announced at JoeCon2009 were the Mobile Mech Suits for release in in the 2010 GI Joe Pursuit of Cobra line. The release of these repainted and retooled Iron Hammer Mechs from Sigma 6(but retooled to be compatible with Modern Era figures) is approaching in fall, and boxed samples have turned up on Ebay via Yong he toys. The following are up for auction now:Both are part of the Jungle Assault and City Strike environmental themes respectively. The arms on both are interchangeable, and the boxes sport stickers advertising The Hub. MSRP is $19.99. Could the cancelled Shadow Hammer Mech(some parts of which are on the Cobra Deviant) make it's way as a 3rd Mobile Mech Suit release? Click on the title bar to see more!

Comic Book Resources was able to catch up with Larry Hama and discussed his return to the GI Joe A Real American Hero comic. He returns with GI Joe #155 1/2, which will be given away on Free Comic Book Day 2010! So far he has 5 issues planned out for the series which becomes an ongoing title with GI Joe #156.
The Joes will be on the run as martial law has gone into effect, and Cobra has risen to power in a position as a civilian contractor: "There's this interim issue in the free issue that's the Cobra setup issue," Hama said of his new story. "Cobra has created a situation of a fraudulent terror alert and created these situations that make it seem like there's a huge terrorist uprising going on [in America.] And now, Cobra has stepped forward as a civilian contractor to augment the police and the national guard. It's sort of riffing on current events. They're in a position where they've got this power that's been given to them, because basic rights have been overtaken thanks to the fear of the populous. I think it's a very real fear." When it came to casting the series, Hama found all his favorites from the original run ready to work with and often on the sides that the general public expects them to be on thanks to some late-series brainwashing that brought Storm Shadow back to Cobra. "It's my core cast that I like: Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, Duke, Storm Shadow, Cobra Commander, Destro, Baroness, Billy, Rock N Roll, Roadblock, Stalker...this basic core. The characters are ones I don't have to think about. They're already standing up and walking around." And while he normally plots his comics as he goes, issue-by-issue, Hama explained that he had the basic idea of an arc shaping up for how the G.I. Joes would come out of retirement. "The whole point is that Cobra puts themselves into this situation of civilian contractors and are protecting the country, but they're also trying to hunt down the Joes and eliminate them because they're a real threat. It's their first strike. Not only do the Joes have to reunite, but they have to escape and evade. The first half of the arc is that escape and evasion. They're being hunted down, and then it's regroup and take the offensive. And that's as far ahead as I am. That's my basic outline. That's as much as I've got. These five issues are the most I've ever projected in my entire life. Hama also spoke of the plot being subservient to the characters, something he shares in common with famed comic writer Kazuo Koike(of Lone Wolf & Cub): "The plot was always subservient to the characters. I can't remember a single plot. They're not important to me. But I remember who the characters are, and if you get that down on paper, that's really the important thing. People don't walk away from it liking the plot - they walk away liking the characters. That's everything." Hama also likes the work of Agustin Padilla, the artist whose work is currently featured in the OPERATION HISS comics, and is Hama's partner in crime for GI Joe A Real American Hero: "I really like his artwork. It's very fresh and dynamic" while lamenting that more artists can't take the strong visual approach he appreciates as an artist turned writer. "Nobody does 'Marvel Style' plot and script anymore. All they do is full script. The artists aren't used to it. They don't know what to do when they're handed a plot and the methodology and storytelling is left up to them. So who else is looking forward to the return of Larry Hama to GI Joe A Real America Hero? Let us know by hitting the discuss button! |
