Your fellow HISS tanker mswi made these custom Cobra Hydro-Vipers.

''I remember seeing the card art of this SOB on the back of a card when I was a kid, thinking man this is the baddest looking Cobra yet! When I finally got one I was so disappointed in the mono-tone color scheme that I immediately broke out a black felt and highlighter, which just ended all over my hands. So when i finally got around to this one I borrowed elements from the Card art more so than the actual released figure.
The torso was sculpted by the talented Krexx.''

Thanks to HISS TANK.com boards member ndb for letting us know that CBR News has just posted up a new interview with Fred Van Lente to further explain the upcoming GIJOE #1 relaunch.

CBR News: Fred, what's the concept behind this new "G.I. Joe" series that starts with a fresh #1.... is it a reboot, a relaunch or something completely different?

Fred Van Lente: It's a relaunch, assuming I understand these terms correctly. It's a new #1 that very much grows out of and builds on recent developments in the Joeverse, but at the same time it's a perfect jumping on point for anyone who hasn't picked up the IDW books yet, or, for that matter, people who don't anything about the Joes at all.

What kind of situation do the G.I. Joes find themselves in when your series begins? How, if at all, does Cobra come into play?


Fred Van Lente and Steve Kurt usher in a new, more public era for "G.I. Joe" in a new volume of the series The Joes, previously a covert terrorism counter-response team, have been "outed," WikiLeaks style, by Cobra to the press. Rather than deny it until they're blue in the face, the Pentagon takes the exact opposite tack: They make the Joes 100% public, relocate to New York City -- to the formerly abandoned army base on Governors Island in the middle of the harbor, in fact -- begin to carry along embedded journalists (well, bloggers), the whole nine yards.

Cobra, on the other hand, thinking they seriously crippled the Joes by exposing them, have taken more incursions on US soil than ever before -- they're bringing the fight with the Joes to their own backyard. There's a reason the first arc is called "Homefront."

When it was first announced that Jon M Chu will direct G. I. Joe 2, many people wondered whether a Dance Movie Director is up to the job. But from day one, Mr. Jon Chu showed care and attention to the franchise we know and love.

Recently the Director of G. I. Joe: Retaliation had a chat with MTV Geek and he had this to say…

"I really want to push how we use the 3-D. Especially since we pushed the movie date, I want to fulfill the promise to the fans that the 3-D will be great, and enhances the experience of the movie. So every step of the way, I’m in that room, watching… It’s hurting my eyes, but we’re getting it better, and pushing it further.”

“Fortunately, a lot of our shots, I guess it was in my brain anyway,” continued Chu, laughing. “We had a lot of depth in our shots, or let our shots play longer. For me, if we’re going to do this, we have to make sure it enhances the experience. That’s where we are right now, and it’s a slow painful process, to be honest!”

Even though the movie is technically done, and with no natively shot 3-D footage, all the shots need to be post-converted, that doesn’t mean Chu has given up on making some tweaks. “I’m trying to convince them to give me a couple days to do a couple of enhancements,” said Chu. “But as of right now, we’ll see what they let me do. I really want to shoot some of the sections in 3-D to give it that edge… But we’ll see if time permits, and they’re down to do that.”

He had tons more to tell. Find out at MTV Geek.... [Read More]

Joe: The Complete Collection, the full run of original Real American Hero, Special Missions, and Yearbook tales, placed in proper reading order and collected in handsome hardcover volumes.

G.I. Joe: The Complete Collection, Vol. 1: Larry Hama, Herb Trimpe, Don Perlin, Mike Vosberg: Amazon.com

"I was eleven years old when G.I. Joe #1 was released, and I remember reading and re-reading and re-re-reading the wonderfully oversized Treasury Edition reprint of #1 at least 500 times until the pages fell apart in my hands; this is NO exaggeration. I have memorized nearly every word of the first issue. The comic speaks to me like no other before or since; I therefore have a vested interest in seeing this project succeed."
