G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

[Johnny Footstool]

People, we are all missing the most important question here: Will Scarlet, Lady Jaye and The Barroness be having any pillow fights? That's what enquiring minds want to know.

They cast a real supermodel as Cover Girl.

Oh they certainly did!

Loved her work in the last Victoria Secret fashion show!

CGI Joe

Okay, now I've pretty much been laughed out of the room by every person I've brought this up to but...

I've always asserted that GI Joe was not part of the millitary. More like a seperate pseudo government agency that was out to thwart evil.

I don't know any of the comic book stories or anything, just going off of the cartoons.

You're on point there.

They were all in the military previous to the GI JOE gig, and they all bring something to the table.

I hope Bazooka's in the movie. He was all into Baseball Cards and bubble gum and stuff. He rocked.

Flint better be in the movie. Duke too. You can't have a GI Joe movie without those two.


Who was the chick that drove the Wolverine? Cover Girl? They had so many hot chicks on that squad, it's a wonder they ever got anything done.

Indeed, it was Cover Girl. She and Scarlett were quite catty for a while.

I don't know what the deal is with Marvel and smoking-hot redheads.

IDW, who has the comic book rights to Joe now, is releasing the original Marvel series as a collection of trade paperbacks. 10 issues per. First one came out in January.
It took Larry Hama awhile to get going good, but when they hit issue 21 (the so called "silent issue" written and broken down by Hama, I forget who did the finishes), it was on like Donkey Kong.


I'm pretty sure the first comic book I ever bought was GIJoe #12 or 13. It had Snow Job with his snowmobile on the cover. Had to do with Destro trying to destroy the Alaskan pipeline.

Edit:

It was #11

nerd boy.

My first comic was a What If. What If Daredevil weren't Blind. or something like that.

[Johnny Footstool]

G.I. Joe #1 was the first comic I collected. I had a subscription to "Spidey Super Stories" as a kid, but I pretty much trashed those. I took care of G.I. Joe #1, though.

[wheels]

I think I have every GI Joe from #1 until I got bored sometime around 1988. I'd have to did through my parents' crawlspace to know for sure.

I remember I started collecting "The 'Nam" instead. More realistic and people died more often.

Towards the end of the Marvel run, guys were getting whacked all the time.

I think the first issue I remember someone being killed was a character named Quinn or something like that. I think Snake Eyes wrapped him up, put him a kayak and launched him into the ocean from the tip of long island.

I guess I'm going to have to go dig those out.

Quinn the Eskimo Merc was killed in the same issue as original Joe CO General Flagg. (The Joe Aircraft Carrier was named after Flagg.) Cobra launched an attack on the Pitt and the Baroness killed Flagg. Quinn jumped on a gernade to save Snake Eyes, iirc.

Snake Eyes and Wild Bill put Quinn's body on the kayak.

I can't believe I remember all that.

I remember it now.

Many pieces of the GI Joe toy line made their first comic book appearance during the attack on the Pitt.

So I just saw that the kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun is playing Cobra Commander.


I don't even know what to think about that.
