This interview references the MASK story from Energon Universe Special 2026 but is spoiler free for MASK # 1

This interview was recorded May 12th, 2026

Video version here: https://youtu.be/-v6zW8NFsI8

Quotes:

Pye Parr:  “80s sports cars! Jets! Lasers! Robots! M.A.S.K. has everything that I love to read, watch, and draw, and my inner 12-year-old fought to the surface and made me scream loudly in the meeting when I was offered this gig. Never have I more bitterly regretted selling my beloved childhood toys, but the chance to rebuild all that stuff on the page has more than made up for it, and I can’t wait to see where Dan takes us in the Energon Universe.”

Dan Watters: “Illusion is the ultimate weapon--but also sometimes weapons are the ultimate weapon. M.A.S.K. is a book about ordinary people taking it into their own hands to face down the awesome weaponry of the Energon Universe--and a high octane, nonstop thrill ride to boot. I couldn’t be prouder to be bringing you this story alongside Pye this summer. Welcome to the M.A.S.K. network. Matt Trakker needs you to save the world.” 

Executive Editor Ben Abernathy.: "We’ve been working on M.A.S.K. in the shadows for so long, I’m thrilled to finally pull the curtain back and reveal what we’ve cooked up. Dan, Pye, Pierluigi, and Rus are delivering a thrilling new chapter in the Energon Universe!” 

M.A.S.K. #1 arrives in comic book shops on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 from the powerhouse team of writer Dan Watters (Batman: Dark Patterns, DESTRO), artist Pye Parr (Petrol Head, New Gods), colorist Pierluigi Casolino (DC vs Vampires), and letterer Rus Wooton (TRANSFORMERS).

Official M.A.S.K. #1 Synopsis: 

The world is becoming a terrifying place. Matt Trakker needs your help saving it. Enter M.A.S.K. -- a network of specialists ready to respond to the next global emergency. At a moment’s notice, Trakker and his agents can deploy bleeding-edge technology that converts their vehicles--and their drivers--into the ultimate weapon. But Miles Mayhem and V.E.N.O.M. are one step ahead in a secret arms race, scouring the globe for deadly weapons from this planet and beyond, ready to sell out the entire human race. Only M.A.S.K. can stop them… but will Trakker’s own secrets jeopardize their entire mission?]]></description>

Quotes:

Pye Parr:  “80s sports cars! Jets! Lasers! Robots! M.A.S.K. has everything that I love to read, watch, and draw, and my inner 12-year-old fought to the surface and made me scream loudly in the meeting when I was offered this gig. Never have I more bitterly regretted selling my beloved childhood toys, but the chance to rebuild all that stuff on the page has more than made up for it, and I can’t wait to see where Dan takes us in the Energon Universe.”

Dan Watters: “Illusion is the ultimate weapon--but also sometimes weapons are the ultimate weapon. M.A.S.K. is a book about ordinary people taking it into their own hands to face down the awesome weaponry of the Energon Universe--and a high octane, nonstop thrill ride to boot. I couldn’t be prouder to be bringing you this story alongside Pye this summer. Welcome to the M.A.S.K. network. Matt Trakker needs you to save the world.”

Official Synopsis: HUNT FOR ENERGON! After the stunning conclusion to DREADNOK WAR, the Joes and Cobra are in a race to find Energon across the world. But the man known as Crystal Ball has horrifying plans for them all…
After the stunning conclusion to DREADNOK WAR, the Joes and Cobra are in a race to find Energon across the world, but Crystal Ball (making his Energon Universe first appearance) has other ideas, and some D.I.R.E. new tricks up his sleeve. And as the secret origin of G.I. Joe's most unpredictable member Risk is revealed, the future of Joe and Cobra will change forever when Baroness and Destro meet again...
"One of the things I've loved about working in the Energon Universe is that we've created a world that lets us explore the G.I. JOE mythology using different genres. And with these three issues we're taking the team into a horror story.” said writer Joshua Williamson. “We used some of those tools in the Cobra Commander mini-series two years ago, so it's awesome that we're revisiting that kind of story with Andrea Milana again! Be ready for some action-packed horror! Lots of surprises as these issues help set up the next massive storyline that hits the Energon Universe."

Writer & Artist: Howard Porter

Plot Breakdown

In the mountains of sierra gordo, blue Ninjas (disguised as rebels) have captured a Joe team of dawn, jinx and cover girl (disguised as nuns) but with some support from the sniper team of downrange and sherlock they get away.
The joe team enters a mine, which contains an ancient pyramid, with a terror drome inside plus a multitude of Bobby traps.
The joe rear guard take the blue Ninjas from behind while the joes fight out inside. They set up explosives on the Terror drome but then change their mind. We end on a cliffhanger as a cyborg is about to shoot an rpg, setting off the reactive plates that could incinerate everything in the corridors.

Skybound  New Era G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium Kickstarter

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/skyboundent/gi-joe-a-real-american-hero-compendium-1-2

The Mission Continues with Eight Volumes Collecting Over 300 issues in a New Campaign Launching March 24

Skybound have announced a campaign for new Kickstarter-exclusive G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium Sets 1+2.

The compendium sets, including a total of eight volumes, feature new key art by the legendary Andy Kubert (X-Men) and collect over 300 issues from both Marvel and IDW eras of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero spanning from 1994-2022, expanding on the previous Kickstarter that shattered crowdfunding records and dominated headlines worldwide.

Fans can sign up for the mailing list now at www.GIJoeKickstarter.com

Featuring the iconic series writer Larry Hama (Wolverine) and an all-star lineup of series artists, the new G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium Sets 1+2 present the incredible heroes of G.I. JOE, the terrifying villains of Cobra, and the unforgettable stories that set them on a collision course. Now collecting over 300 issues of A Real American Hero, these new hardcover compendiums collect the most iconic moments in G.I. JOE history, from Cobra Commander’s seemingly successful world domination to the unforgettable introduction of Dawn Moreno, the all-new Snake-Eyes.

“I am really glad that there will finally be a quality compendium of the continuation of my run on G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero beyond the initial Marvel run and into the IDW issues.” said Larry Hama. “This will be the first time that a uniform hard-bound edition will be produced that includes the first 300 issues, along with covers and many exclusive extras. A real must for loyal fans and completists!”

Fans who backed the first G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium Set campaign can select a tier to purchase the new set of hardcovers, collecting issues #155 ½ to #300, along with all the annuals, specials, and more. Like that first campaign, you must choose a side – will you stand with G.I. Joe or rule the world with Cobra? Either way, these deluxe hardcovers will look perfect alongside the original compendium set, presenting the iconic G.I. JOE series in the highest quality collections of all time.

"Following the massive success of our first G.I. JOE campaign, we’re going BIGGER and BETTER with the second campaign!” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “These collections are the most comprehensive assemblage of G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO material ever, and we can’t wait for fans to see what we have cooked up.”

Fans won’t want to miss backing the campaign to secure all the limited-edition tiers and exclusive rewards: Kickstarter-exclusive Larry Hama signed bookplates, faux leather hardcovers, spot gloss, foil finish and gilded edges on all books, satin ribbons, patches, pins, stickers, individual issue reprints, two source books featuring art from previous trading cards, vehicles, and more.

The G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium Sets 1 + 2 campaign will be live on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at 6 a.m. PT, with stretch goals and campaign-exclusive products to be announced through the close of the campaign on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at 12 p.m. PT.]]></description>

The compendium sets, including a total of eight volumes, feature new key art by the legendary Andy Kubert (X-Men) and collect over 300 issues from both Marvel and IDW eras of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero spanning from 1994-2022, expanding on the previous Kickstarter that shattered crowdfunding records and dominated headlines worldwide.

Fans can sign up for the mailing list now at www.GIJoeKickstarter.com

Featuring the iconic series writer Larry Hama (Wolverine) and an all-star lineup of series artists, the new G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium Sets 1+2 present the incredible heroes of G.I. JOE, the terrifying villains of Cobra, and the unforgettable stories that set them on a collision course. Now collecting over 300 issues of A Real American Hero, these new hardcover compendiums collect the most iconic moments in G.I. JOE history, from Cobra Commander’s seemingly successful world domination to the unforgettable introduction of Dawn Moreno, the all-new Snake-Eyes.

“I am really glad that there will finally be a quality compendium of the continuation of my run on G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero beyond the initial Marvel run and into the IDW issues.” said Larry Hama. “This will be the first time that a uniform hard-bound edition will be produced that includes the first 300 issues, along with covers and many exclusive extras. A real must for loyal fans and completists!”

Fans who backed the first G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium Set campaign can select a tier to purchase the new set of hardcovers, collecting issues #155 ½ to #300, along with all the annuals, specials, and more. Like that first campaign, you must choose a side – will you stand with G.I. Joe or rule the world with Cobra? Either way, these deluxe hardcovers will look perfect alongside the original compendium set, presenting the iconic G.I. JOE series in the highest quality collections of all time.

"Following the massive success of our first G.I. JOE campaign, we’re going BIGGER and BETTER with the second campaign!” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “These collections are the most comprehensive assemblage of G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO material ever, and we can’t wait for fans to see what we have cooked up.”

Fans won’t want to miss backing the campaign to secure all the limited-edition tiers and exclusive rewards: Kickstarter-exclusive Larry Hama signed bookplates, faux leather hardcovers, spot gloss, foil finish and gilded edges on all books, satin ribbons, patches, pins, stickers, individual issue reprints, two source books featuring art from previous trading cards, vehicles, and more.

The G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium Sets 1 + 2 campaign will be live on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at 6 a.m. PT, with stretch goals and campaign-exclusive products to be announced through the close of the campaign on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at 12 p.m. PT.]]></itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[audio review - GI JOE REBORN from Devil's Due March 2004.


Mark and Tim return to the Devils Due era & look at the 48 page special - G.I.JOE: REBORN from Devil's Due March 2004

Synopsis: 

Continued from G.I. Joe: Cobra Reborn #1. Continued in G.I. Joe: Reloaded #1.

A new terror has emerged in the world - a unified legion of radical militias, powerful enemies of the United States, and even internal sympathizers. A terror known as Cobra.

What were though to be random attacks and incidents throughout the country were actually orchestrated by a man called Cobra Commander. Disgusted (and arguably driven mad) by the "system" that taxes the little man and benefits the rich, he will launch a full scale war on our nation in mere hours unless stopped. In G.I. Joe: Cobra Reborn, we watched as the Commander gathered his forces, but on the other side of the coin, a frantic administration makes split second decisions to handle this crisis. It must be dealt with quickly, quietly, and efficiently, without invoking hysteria. With sympathizers to Cobra in our own ranks, the world needs a task force formed outside of the standard bureaucracy, operating in secret, unknown to even top military brass. The world needs G.I. Joe, and it needs them NOW. 

G.I. Joe: Reloaded brought the G.I.Joe story back to its beginnings in a new continuity. 14 Issues with two specials were first published in 2004 by Devil's Due. Paul Jenkins written Cobra Reborn, followed by GI Joe reborn

Synopsis: SPECIAL 325th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE! Two all-new Joes make their FIRST APPEARANCE as Duke and Roadblock lead a dangerous cover op into Borovia. A New Era For G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO starts here!

Two new Joes make their FIRST APPEARANCE as Duke and Roadblock lead a dangerous cover op into Borovia. 

“Larry Hama and Chris Mooneyham launched G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #301 at Skybound over two years ago, and for our milestone 325th issue, they’re thrilled to introduce two brand-new Joes—DOWNRANGE and R.C.!” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound.  

“Wow! Has it really been 325 issues already?” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “We’re thrilled to celebrate this incredible milestone by introducing not just one but TWO new Joes! And as if that weren’t already enough, we’ll also be reintroducing the legendary G.I. Joe file cards to ARAH starting with issue #325, written by Larry Hama with art by Chris Mooneyham! Be sure to collect them all!”  

“The real battle in warfare is technological and tactical,” said Larry Hama. “Recent advances and innovations have made the ‘old way’ untenable, so I felt compelled to create two new Joes to counter these deficiencies. ‘R.C.,’ file name Hector M. Salazar is the new DRONE OPERATOR. He hails from Boyle Heights in East LA, and he is to unmanned remote-control aircraft and land robotics what Roadblock is to the Ma-Deuce. ‘DOWN RANGE,' file name Hillevi S. Väisänen, is the SCOUT SNIPER. Daughter of a legendary hunting guide from Redwing, MN, it has been said that she can split a Popsicle™ stick at 200 yards with iron sights on a National Match M-21 in 7.62 NATO.”

He hails from Boyle Heights in East LA, and he is to unmanned remote-control aircraft and land robotics what Roadblock is to the Ma-Deuce. ‘DOWN RANGE,' file name Hillevi S. Väisänen, is the SCOUT SNIPER. Daughter of a legendary hunting guide from Redwing, MN, it has been said that she can split a Popsicle™ stick at 200 yards with iron sights on a National Match M-21 in 7.62 NATO.”

      <description><![CDATA[Also available as video with images  https://youtu.be/oOvabtUlIUA

Who is Dawn? Secrets from the GI Joe Comic archives from Talking Joe

The classified figure Dawn Moreno (AKA Snake Eyes) was revealed by BMac from Hasbro at Larry Hama’s midtown comics signing. So Dawn is coming, but just who is this character?

Just as the Snake Eyes story is foundational to the original Marvel run, the Dawn Story is a key plot that runs through the IDW era of GI Joe. 

Dawn Moreno aka Snake Eyes III, is a character who was introduced by writer Larry Hama in the pages of G.I. Joe Real American Hero comics from IDW and continues to write for the character today, in the Real American Hero comics from Skybound , with issue 325 just released. I’ll call out that Dawn is actually only very rarely referred to as Snake Eyes. Much more common is Dawn . ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Exclusive - The lost Kung Fu Grip "Heavy Metal" Webcomic. Also available on YouTube vith images - https://youtu.be/tsV7VGdAucQ .


In  2007, Hasbro posted on their monkeybarTV minisite two exclusive web-only mini webcomics, based on the Sigma Six "Kung-Fu-Grip" toys;  "Ghost Story" and "Heavy Metal"

This story was only available via online Flash player. Previously we were able to recover the first comic "Ghost Story" - as shared here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/137320127

With some excellent detective work from Talking Joe Facebook group member Ed Mundy, the  "Heavy Metal" comic has also been found!

Before now, only the cover and a brief mention on HISS Tank remained https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-news-rumors/622-g-i-joe-kung-fu-grip-comic-heavy-metal.html

After Cobra Commander threatens to destroy Washington DC with an earthquake machine he's already used to devastate Twilight Falls, Montana, Flint arrives at Cobra's "Snake Pit" HQ and demands Cobra Commander's surrender. The Commander scoffs at surrendering to one man, but then Snake-Eyes arrives in the Metal Mayhem Mech and defeats all of Cobra's BATs and a robotic cobra. He and Flint nearly capture the Commander before he escapes in a rocket plane. Snake-Eyes then uses Metal Mayhem to destroy the earthquake machine and save Washington. "Heavy Metal" (KFG 2 - May 2007)

In  2007, Hasbro posted on their monkeybarTV minisite two exclusive web-only mini webcomics, based on the Sigma Six "Kung-Fu-Grip" toys;  "Ghost Story" and "Heavy Metal"

This story was only available via online Flash player. Previously we were able to recover the first comic "Ghost Story" - as shared here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/137320127

With some excellent detective work from Talking Joe Facebook group member Ed Mundy, the  "Heavy Metal" comic has also been found!

Before now, only the cover and a brief mention on HISS Tank remained https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-news-rumors/622-g-i-joe-kung-fu-grip-comic-heavy-metal.html

      <description><![CDATA[Secrets from the GI Joe Comics Archives - #30s Publishing order and repeating Dreadnoks .

Also available as YouTube https://youtu.be/GOOCu0SEUJo . 

Its the first of a new video series which looks at some of the mysteries of the Original G.I. Joe ARAH series from the 1980s. 

A curious thing happens with the order that the GI Joe story is told in the 30's of the original marvel run in 1985

1) the baroness testing out the Rattler after  her part in the attempted assassination of Cobra Commander

2) the weird reuse of Dreadnoks destroying Skystrikers three times (coinciding with appearing on the covers to issue  30 , 32 and 35)

3) The multi art teams suggesting deadline trouble 

4) the fairly long delay in addressing assassination plot point in issue 33.

In this  video I try and piece this together below, supported by clues from the original art, solicits information from "Marvel Age" and other clues.

      <description><![CDATA[Mark talks with Tim about "The Center Holds" - a book that Tim was instrumental in making happen!

Video also available here: https://youtu.be/cBOsSMGrHB4


"The Center Holds" is a four-issue comic book miniseries written by Larry Hama and edited/produced by Tim Finn, featuring the final art from the late M.D. "Doc" Bright. 

The project has been in the works for a decade and was announced by Tim Finn at the New York Comic Con in October 2025. It is a creator-owned work, published by BOOM! Studios, with the ownership shared by Hama and the estate of Mark D. Bright. 

Last year, artist M.D. “Doc” Bright — known for his work on Armor Wars, Quantum & Woody and others — passed away at age 68. And now his final work, with writer Larry Hama, The Center Holds will get released by BOOM! Studios next year.

In the oversized first issue, per PR from the publisher, “A new superhero universe is born!” Specifically, the central idea here is that with superheroes just part of daily life, they’re required to join a union, or face serious fines for any damage from battles.

“Enter the Superheroes’ Union: A team-up of genius Scyber, psychic Lakshmi, the mysterious Keeper, and child prodigy Nekkotron, among others, as they battle villains and bureaucracy alike. And though the delicate balance of mitigating damage while saving lives is already tough enough, they’ve got their own worries with a constant stream of villains rising up to challenge them.”

In honor of Bright, BOOM! Studios and Hama are donating 2% of the sales of the book to The Hero Initiative. The Center Holds #1 hits stores on February 11, 2026, with covers by M.D. “Doc” Bright, Joe Quinones, Khary Randolph, and Chuck Patton.

There’s only so much a person—even a super-powered person—can take!

The world thought Captain Payback and the Black Wraith had put the villain Choler away for good. But when Choler escapes Captain Payback’s underground prison, all hell breaks loose. The Superheroes Union is at ground zero of the fallout, where even the most powerful among them are tested. Now, they must come to terms with their darkest secrets while facing their greatest enemy.

Will they be strong enough to challenge Choler at his most powerful?

The battle continues in the second issue of this epic miniseries by the legendary Larry Hama and M.D. “Doc” Bright.

A new superhero universe is born!

In a world where superheroes have become commonplace, heroes are required to join a union or else face serious financial liability for the damage caused during battles.

Enter the Superheroes’ Union: A team-up of genius Scyber, psychic Lakshmi, the mysterious Keeper, and child prodigy Nekkotron, among others, as they battle villains and bureaucracy alike.

And though the delicate balance of mitigating damage while saving lives is already tough enough, they’ve got their own worries with a constant stream of villains rising up to challenge them.

Follow along as the legendary duo of writer Larry Hama and artist M.D. “Doc” Bright, marking his final work, question the very nature of what it means to be a hero in this thrilling new giant-size issue!

The Center Holds #2

There’s only so much a person—even a super-powered person—can take!

The world thought Captain Payback and the Black Wraith had put the villain Choler away for good. But when Choler escapes Captain Payback’s underground prison, all hell breaks loose. The Superheroes Union is at ground zero of the fallout, where even the most powerful among them are tested. Now, they must come to terms with their darkest secrets while facing their greatest enemy.

Will they be strong enough to challenge Choler at his most powerful?

The battle continues in the second issue of this epic miniseries by the legendary Larry Hama and M.D. “Doc” Bright.

      <description><![CDATA[New episode - Lost Kung Fu Grip "A Ghost Story" Webcomic FOUND! Talking Joe reveals Secrets from G.I. Joe comics archives!
In April 2007, Hasbro posted on their monkeybarTV minisite, some exclusive web-only mini comics. This included a "Kung-Fu-Grip" webcomic titled "A Ghost Story"
This gave a preview of the the new "Kung-Fu-Grip" line of Sigma Six 8 Inch toys and a Sneak Peek at new toys; Dark Ninja Master, Samurai Snake Eyes, and Crime Boss Destro!
This story was believed to be lost to time, but with some web archaeology, Talking Joe has found the lost story and brings  them to you here!

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE Jingle Medley 6 - Summer 2025 - Jingle & Parodies Compendium. 

All the Talking Joe Jingles, all the time! This is a catch up on the jingles from the last year - continuing an annual tradition, this is a completely self indulgent set of silliness and definitely not our normal thoughtful deep dive into a GI Joe comic.

Its’s all the jingles and parody songs created for the show since the last Jingle Medley in July 2024.

Contents:

Brand New Joe ( Rhymefest Featuring Kanye West – Brand New)

Skybound Jingle (with the Talking Joe Guys) - after Adele / Skyfall

Dancing in the EU (after "Dancing in the Street" , a song written by Marvin Gaye, William Stevenson, and Ivy Jo Hunter for Martha and the Vandellas in 1964)

Baroness Collection (short) - After Kermit the Frog – Rainbow Connection

Covers of Chameleon - after Culture Club - Karma Chameleon

MASK Theme (as performed by Tim Finn at Joefest 2025)

ARAH 307 Cobra Island - The Beach Boys - Kokomo parody

ARAH 308 Issue recap - Murder She Wrote parody 

ARAH 309 "A Car is Burning" - The Clash – London Calling parody

ARAH 310 - Let Me Pull you from the Fire by Tim Finn (after Jimmy Hendrix - Fire)

ARAH 311 - Thunder Machine - Imagine Dragons "Thunder" Parody

ARAH 313 - What's this - Cobra Commander channels Jack Skellington - Danny Elfman - What's This? (From "The Nightmare Before Christmas)

ARAH 314 DESTRO is a Scot to go! A Talking Joe Song Parody (Chappell Roan - HOT TO GO!)

ARAH 317 Recon Team  - Blur "Parklife" Parody

Nothing Beats a cobra island Holiday - Jet2 Parody

Dan & Dani jingle

Mark Powers - He Man jingle

Name the Guard

Plot Breakdown :  

In Springfield, The ninja team is trying to escape in a hijacked stinger jeep, with cobra in pursuit, shooting behind them at the Cobras in pursuit to slow them down, and heading towards the cobra airfield to make an escape. Luckily Duke sends air cover in the form of Ghostrider in the Stealth Jet. Arriving at the docks, Muskrat is unsure how to pilot a moray but thinks he can handle it having experience with a bayou airboat. They set off with Cobra in pursuit, and  just as Cobra looks to overwhelm the Joes, the Skystriker arrives just in time to come to the rescue

On Cobra Island, The recon team is trying to escape in a hijacked Scorpion jeep, with cobra in pursuit, shooting behind  them at the Cobras in pursuit to slow them down, and heading towards the cobra harbor to make an escape. Luckily Duke sends air cover in the form of Ace in the Skystriker . Arriving at the airfield, Jinx is unsure how to pilot an Aspid but thinks she can handle it, having experience with flight sims. They set off, with Cobra in pursuit - and just as Cobra looks to overwhelm the Joes, the Stealth fighter arrives just in time to come to the rescue. 

The ninja team are escorted back to the pit, just in time to update qualifications on some new weapons systems.

      <description><![CDATA[review - G.I. Joe: Origins #19 (IDW, 2010) - prequel to ARAH # 321 out in October 2025!
Video version https://youtu.be/TtBBQ0tLadc
Or audio only (edited version for audio only optimisation!) on your podcast platform of choice, links at https://talkingjoe.co.uk/#Podcasts
Mark and Tim are looking at looking at G.I. Joe: Origins #19 from IDW Publishing, released September 2010.
Synopsis: "Larry Hama returns along with super-star Joe Benitez and it's a silent issue with Snake-Eyes! Not to steal from Stan but, "'Nuff said."
Why are we reviewing GI Joe origins 19, a 15 year old comic, randomly the 19th issue of a book from the IDW continuity?
Because G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #321 Will Be an All-New Silent Issue released October 2025 and will be a sequel to this issue!
“This (ARAH 321) is another all-silent issue featuring the return of the sound-weaponizing characters introduced in GI JOE ORIGINS #19,” said Larry Hama. “They have developed an air-portable version of their sonic weapon and have mounted it in a stealth dirigible to attack the GI Joe installation under Camp Greer in the Utah desert. Snake-Eyes and Dawn Moreno having been at the sound-proof range in the lowest level of the Pit, are the only Joes unaffected, and must attack the airship by themselves.”

Writer: Larry Hama
Pencils: Joe Benitez

"I took a stab at another silent Snake-Eyes story, but with more complex visual storytelling and self-imposed parameters like keeping track of ammo and ordnance expenditures. "Wrote" it and did layouts. The amazing Joe Benitez did the finished art. It should be on the stands in September" - Larry Hama Facebook post

      <description><![CDATA[Tom DeFalco Interview (Marvel Edior of GI Joe 1-6 & EIC)

Edited audio version of interview, also available as video talking heads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMwIScYZr-s 


Mark and Tim talk with Tom DeFalco (G.I. Joe editor for Marvel issues 1-6 & Editor In Chief 1987-1994). We talk about the process of working with the Marvel & Hasbro getting G.I.Joe off the ground in 1981, editing the first few issues, G.I. Joe's eventual cancellation - plus Marvel and the wider comics market in this era.

Tom DeFalco (born June 26, 1950) is an American comic book writer and editor well known for his association with Marvel Comics, with long runs on Amazing Spider-Man including on the Clone Saga, Thor, Fantastic Four, and in the creation of Spider-Girl and Spider Ham,

DeFalco became Marvel's tenth editor-in-chief in April 1987.  And  serving 7 years in the role, to 1994, making him one of the longest serving individuals to hold that post.

DeFalco worked closely with toy manufacturer Hasbro in the early 1980s, part of the Marvel creative team that produced the backstory and dossiers that served as the basis for the relaunch of the phenomenally successful G.I. Joe toy and creating the Marvel comic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero in June 1982. DeFalco personally edited the first six issues (handing over to Denny O'Neil in January 1983).

      <title><![CDATA[TJ 327 - Remembering Alan Hassenfeld + audio of 2017 Hascon G.I. Joe legends dinner.]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[New episode: Remembering Alan Hassenfeld + audio of 2017 Hascon G.I. Joe legends dinner. 

This episode includes a short introduction from Tim, and then audio of Alan Hassenfeld rom the 2017 Hascon G.I. Joe legends dinner. The audio is not great but we thought it was worth sharing. 

Alan Hassenfeld passed away in London on July 8, 2025, at the age of 76. He was CEO of Hasbro in 1989 after the death of his brother Stephen, and remained in the position until 2003.
Tim wrote a blog about Hassenfeld here:

https://arealamericanbook.com/2025/07/10/remembering-alan-hassenfeld/#more-8857

The blog included a transcript of Alan Hassenfeld's remarks from the 2017 Hascon G.I. Joe legends dinner. I suggested to Tim that while the quality of audio is not great (recorded from where Tim was sitting in the audience) it would be worth sharing for posterity.

You can read more about Hascon 2017 here: https://arealamericanbook.com/2018/06/21/hascon-2017-the-real-american-book-convention-report/]]></description>

      <itunes:summary><![CDATA[New episode: Remembering Alan Hassenfeld + audio of 2017 Hascon G.I. Joe legends dinner. 

This episode includes a short introduction from Tim, and then audio of Alan Hassenfeld rom the 2017 Hascon G.I. Joe legends dinner. The audio is not great but we thought it was worth sharing. 

Alan Hassenfeld passed away in London on July 8, 2025, at the age of 76. He was CEO of Hasbro in 1989 after the death of his brother Stephen, and remained in the position until 2003.
Tim wrote a blog about Hassenfeld here:

https://arealamericanbook.com/2025/07/10/remembering-alan-hassenfeld/#more-8857

The blog included a transcript of Alan Hassenfeld's remarks from the 2017 Hascon G.I. Joe legends dinner. I suggested to Tim that while the quality of audio is not great (recorded from where Tim was sitting in the audience) it would be worth sharing for posterity.

Mark and Brian Hickey sat down to talk with legendary British comics writer Gerry Finley-Day. Gerry was the writer of most of the initial run of Action Force in the pages of Battle Action Force so it was great to be able to speak with him about Action Foirce and much more besides.

About Gerry
Gerry Finley-Day (born 1947 Dundee) is a former Paratrooper, and writer of comics and books, prolific from the 1960s to the 1980s, best known as the creator of "Rogue Trooper". Rogue Trooper is a science fiction strip in the British comic 2000 AD, created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons in 1981 , 2 years before launch of Action Force in 1983 and is soon to be a major motion picture!
In 1974 he was drafted in by Pat Mills to help develop characters for Battle Picture Weekly, launched the following year, for which he wrote Rat Pack, The Sarge, D-Day Dawson, and more including Action Force. Finley-Day was also one of the mainstays of early 2000 AD, writing Invasion!, Dan Dare, Fiends of the Eastern Front, and created two key future war stories, first with The V.C.s, and then his most enduring character, Rogue Trooper.

      <description><![CDATA[New episode - Silent Missions Duke
Mark and Tim discuss G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Duke #1 released Wednesday, April 30, 2025, with a special guest appearance from Diana Davis (ARAH Creative Consultant).
Originally recorded as a talking heads video, also available as a more tightly edited audio only version.
Youtube: https://youtu.be/JB29qzu8DmQ
In the standalone silent issue from Wes Craig, Duke treks through Cobra-infested terrain to find his target – a traitor who’s joined the enemy. Can Duke do the unthinkable to complete his mission? 
"When the Silent Missions were conceived, Wes Craig was my first call,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “Not only is he one of the very best storytellers in comics, it turns out he’s a massive G.I. JOE fan! His Duke issue is a love letter to G.I. JOE, and a fitting finale to this exciting event.”

Written by the chart-topping team of DANI (Arkham City: The Order of the World) and Dan Watters (Destro, Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!), this issue hits comic book shops on April 9.

In this standalone issue, DANI and Dan Watters put the iconic G.I. Joe ninja Jinx in the most dangerous mission of her life. She has 20 seconds – and 20 pages of real-time action – to escape a Cobra base on snowy mountain of death.

Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound says; “DANI and Dan Watters brough their A+ game to this issue,DANI was born to draw ninjas, and this issue’s inventive use of the page turn just might deliver Jinx’s most memorable adventure yet!”

      <description><![CDATA[TJ 306 - Chris Mooneyham interview - GI JOE ARAH Artist

Recorded as audio only on Sun 30th March 2025, Mark and Tim talk with GI Joe ARAH artist Chris Mooneyham. We are also joined by Creative Consultant Diana Davis.

This was an interview that we really wanted to do and was a long time in coming. Chris doesn't really do podcast interviews; we think this might only be the second he has ever done, and the first since one promoting Planet of the Apes in 2018.

Chris Mooneyham is a graduate of the Joe Kubert School of cartooning and graphic art, and the artist for Five Ghosts at Image, Nightwing at DC, Predator Vs. Judge Dredd Vs. Aliens at Dark Horse/ IDW , Scream: Curse of Carnage at marvel - but most importantly launching GI Joe ARAH at Skybound with 2 critically acclaimed runs.

ABOUT MIKE VOSBURG:Mike Vosburg's comics career began in the 1960s, when as a teenager he started Masquerader, one of the first comic book fanzines. He began working in underground comics in the 1970s, with creations such as Split Screen, written by Tom Veitch. Later in the 1970s and 1980s, Vosburg contributed to horror titles by Western Publishing and Charlton Comics. His story "Mail Order Brides," published in Kitchen Sink Press's Bizarre Sex #3, was in a similar horror/mystery vein.Around this time, Vosburg also did various work for DC Comics and Marvel Comics. He is probably best known for his work from that period on Savage She-Hulk, Sisterhood of Steel, and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. He also worked on the Valiant Comics' titles Bloodshot and Archer & Armstrong.From 1989-1996, for the TV series Tales from the Crypt, Vosburg illustrated comic book covers designed to look like the original 1950s comics. Originally hired to do concept drawings for the wraparound sequence, Vosburg ended up storyboarding the title segment as well as illustrating almost every cover used in the show's 93 episodes.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Brian Shearer interview from JoeFest 2024 - IDW G.I. Joe ARAH Inker/ artist
New episode! Previously only available as a Patreon exclusive!
Direct link http://cast.rocks/hosting/15498/brian-shearer.mp3
Or wherever good podcasts are found, links at https://talkingjoe.co.uk/
Mark sat down with Brian Shearer at his booth on the JoeFest2024 floor to talk about his work on the GI Joe comics. There is a bit of background noise, but we used noise cancelling lapel mics so sound quality is ok.
Brian Shearer is a professional comic book artist and illustrator based in the United States. He has worked on a variety of high-profile comic book titles, including Transformers, and Doctor Who, among others. He also writes and illustrates his creator-owned graphic novels, Gunship Thunderpunch and William the Last.
We know him best for his work on GI Joe, inking SL Gallant after Gary Eskine's run. Starting with 173 then a long run 191 through to 263. He had full art duties for 2 issues, 253 featuring duke and 277 featuring Law and order and illustrated several covers.

      <description><![CDATA[Chi Interview - Marvel GI Joe Colorist & Bench Press - live from JoeFest

Brand new episode- previously available only as a Patreon exclusive!

Funny moments of happenstance happen on the floor of a convention like JoeFest. One such moment was when I bumped into Josh Eggebeen at the After Action Report booth, and he told me that I had to talk to a guy that they had been talking to - it was Chi Wang, who not only coloured Marvel's final few GI joe comics, but was also one half of Bench Press Studios - who had very nearly launched a GI Joe comic in the late 90s,a little before Devil's Due succeeded in obtaining the license.

Chia-Chi Wang (born 1975 in Taipei, Taiwan) is a comic book creator. In the early '90s, he worked on a freelance basis coloring for Marvel Comics, significantly coloring the final run on G.I. Joe with a run on 149 - 155 and the Todd McFarlane GI Joe Special. In the late '90s, he teamed up with fellow Marvel artist Benny Powell to form Bench Press Studios, which at one point planned to publish G.I. Joe and Transformers comics.

After Action report volume 2 has an Interview with Benny Powell covering his side of the failed attempt by Bench Press to launch a GI Joe comic.

      <description><![CDATA[TJ 287 - Rick Parker Interview - Marvel G.I. Joe Letterer on G.I. Joe; plus Beavis & Butthead, Drafted and more

Mark and Tim are talking with artist, letter and comics legend Rick Parker.

https://youtu.be/iNXo6uqNy3w

Richard Lowell Parker was born in 1946 and is an American artist, writer, and cartoonist whose humorous artwork has appeared in The New York Times, The Village Voice, Time magazine, U.S. News & World Report, Life magazine, various comic books published by Marvel Comics as well as Fine Art. In 1966 Parker was drafted into the United States Army, but got his start in the comics industry as a letterer for Marvel Comics in the late 1970s

Parker is widely known as the artist of MTV's Beavis and Butt-Head comic book, published by Marvel from 1994 to 1996. He wrote and illustrated his own graphic novel, Deadboy, in 2010, his graphic novel memoir Drafted is out now and he is working on the sequel “The Artiste”.

But of all his accomplishments, possibly the high point must surely be as the creator who worked on most issues of the Marvel GI Joe comics run outsid eof writer Larry Hama, as the letterer # 11-38 (alternating with Joe Rosen) and then issues, 71-141.

Audio only podcast: 
http://cast.rocks/hosting/15498/AR-hama-wagner.mp3
or at your podcast platform of choice https://talkingjoe.co.uk/
Tim Finn moderated the "Living Legends" Larry Hama/Ron Wagner panel at Assembly Required '24 and it was great. Probably only their third time in the same room in at least 15 years, and certainly their first panel together.
Tim recorded the audio & quality is pretty good. Thanks to AR chief Brian Sauer for asking Tim to run the panel. Photo by R. Carson Mataxis.

TJ 275 - DISAVOWED - G.I. JOE SPECIAL MISSIONS THE ENEMY (DEVILS DUE 2007)
In this episode, Mark and Tim are back into our deep dive into the Devils Due era of GI Joe, in the episodes that we call Talking Joe Disavowed. Today we are covering GI Joe Special Missions: The Enemy from Devil's Due, September 2007. This is the 5th & final special missions one shot & has never been reprinted.
With this episode we are finishing up our side quest into Devils Due mini series and specials that were coming out during the America’s elite era before we enter the final furlong with Mark Power’s writing run which started in March 2007 with the 4 parter “Sins of the Mother” (Americas Elite issues 21-24) , followed by the 12 issue run of World War III which wrapped up the Devils due run.

Blurb for the issues:
The world is changing—and Destro means to come out on top! But with Cobra Commander breathing down his neck and mercenaries Xamot and Tomax seeking to dethrone him as the world’s premier weapons manufacturer, he'll have to survive the future in order to build it.
Stranded in the mountains without any weapons, Destro must survive the Chameleon’s wrath. But who is the Chamelon? And why do they want Laird Destro dead?

      <description><![CDATA[TJ 266 - Palitoy & Battle Action Force Treasury with Total Toy books - Brian Hickey & Paddy Lennon.

Originally presented as a YouTube livestream, now available as a crisply edited audio only version:

Choice of audio only (with edits to clean up and Mark's audio mostly fixed)

YouTube with video on & slides shared on screen (but with Mark's glitchy mic)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGV8kPfnfms&t=41s

      <description><![CDATA[Mark and Joe fan Geoff Thornburg were chatting to Illustrator Doug Hart in the Marriott bar on the Sunday evening of JoeFest and we decided to turn on the recorder for a ramble chat, touching on his most recent illustration,  Clanker & Tank from Operation: Recall, some of his favourite work for G.I Joe at Hasbro, the joy of working vs the politics of the workplace, techniques and influences, and much more. It’s a less structured chat than normal, with some background noise from the bar, but we hope you agree this is an enjoyable chart with a GI Joe legend!

Doug Hart joined Hasbro in 1984 as an illustrator – initially working on My Little Pony. He was called to serve the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero brand in 1987 and painted beautiful figure and box art until then end of the line in 1994. He was at JoeFest 2024: Douglas Hart as his art was showcased in the art of G.I.JOE Omnibus from 3D Joes as well as his modern work for card art on the O ring figures from Callsign: Longbow, Operation: Recall, and Skeletron!

Super 7 had a booth at Joefest 2024, for the first ever time – they brought with them all sorts of exclusives, but unveiled prototypes for their new GI Joe O-Ring line – called ReAction+ . In previous announcements the Super7 3.75" O-Ring figure line was described as bringing in G.I. Joe Sunbow, DiC, and '80s Comics characters! I was joined by Brian Flynn, the founder and owner of Super7 on the show floor to discuss GI Joe comics.

      <description><![CDATA[Destro writer Dan Watters Interview (mild spoilers for issue 1 of Destro)

Joining us for the latest issue is Destro writer Dan Watters! The issue contains mild spoilers for issue 1 of Destro, so listen at your peril.

This is a talking heads video with minimal graphics so you're not missing out should you choose to listen to the audio version. In fact the audio version has better audio / editing so would be my recommendation for this episode.

Dan’s many writing  credits include Lucifer, House of Whispers, , Detective Comics, Sword of Azrael at DC, Loki at Marvel , Home Sick Pilots Coffin Bound and Limbo at Image Dan’s current output includes Doctor Who, two books with Ram V; Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives and The One Hand and The SIX Fingers PLUS  the book we are talking about today, launching with issue 1 on June 19, 2024 its Destro.

Official Synopsis for Destro:

On the heels of the Scarlett #1 launch comes Destro #1 from acclaimed writer Dan Watters (Loki, Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!), artist Andrei Bressan (Dark Ride, Birthright), and colorist Adriano Lucas (Dark Ride, Nightwing).

Available at comic book shops on June 19, 2024, this issue kicks off the fourth of four action-packed G.I. JOE miniseries that promise to set the stage for a fresh new take on G.I. Joe, Cobra and the iconic characters that you only think you know in a shared universe with TRANSFORMERS and Void Rivals!

The next chapter of the Cobra threat begins here! James McCullen Destro XXIV is the man behind M.A.R.S. Industries, the undisputed leader in providing high-tech weapons to world powers...for the right price. But the emergence of Energon has changed everything. As Destro’s ambitions grow, the “Crimson Twins” Tomax and Xamot Paoli emerge to destroy their competition, and Cobra Commander realizes his current ally could be his future greatest enemy.]]></description>

Originally recorded as video interview -

Links to podcast platforms at https://talkingjoe.co.uk/
We loved Andrea's art on Cobra Commander and we were thrilled that he was able to join us from his home in Sicily to talk to us about it! Given how good the book is, we were amazed to discover just how new Andrea is to comics - and we talk a bout his route to working on the book.
The images shared on screen include some of Andreas's work, including never seen before grety-tone art and his process maps for the Nemesis vs Dreadnoks battle.
Mark's mic is playing up a bit in this episode - sorry!

      <description><![CDATA[Paul Pelletier Interview
With the release of G.I. Joe ARAH # 306 on 15 May 2024, Mark and Tim talk to new penciller, Paul Pelletier. We talk about his experience of GI Joe, a more general sweep of his career in comics and how it feels to be working on GI Joe, and how different it is to other work.
YouTube interview with talking heads https://youtu.be/_yW2QX82bIo
The audio only podcast has the audio more neatly edited. We don't share so much on the screen on this episode so that would be my recommendation for this episode.
Direct link
Podcast links at https://talkingjoe.co.uk/
We talk broadly about ARAH 306 and show on screen a page 1 of the book with Zartan (which has been shared previously in Skybounds preview promotions), but we don't really get into very spoilery territory.
Mark's mic is playing up a bit this episode (it fades in and out a bit) - apologies!
Next episode Mark & Tim will do a review of the issue and get into the full spoiler filled detail.
About Paul:
Paul is an American comic book penciler, who got started professionally in 1992 on Malibu’s Ex-Mutants and has gone on to have with extensive work in comic books from DC, Marvel and Crossgen  perhaps best known for a long run on Aquaman. But most importantly he is starting a 5 issue run of ARAH with issue 306.

      <description><![CDATA[Part 2: All things GI Joe (rediscovering the Joe toys, discovering Garrido, his GI Joe art) plus State Fair and live Sports paining.

New episode - Kickliy Interview! with Kickliy Yilkcik
This is a long interview and you can experience it in a few different ways. Links as always at https://talkingjoe.co.uk/
YouTube - Full interview with minimal edits, it has talking heads and  visuals of art shared on screen https://youtu.be/4jzsJ81oRBo

I've attached some of the images we refer to in our conversation.
Kickliy , based in Minnesota has been publishing and making art professionally for over twenty years
He is well known to G.I. Joe fans for his amazing G.I. Joe pieces. We cover those, but also the artistic path that led him there.
This is a long old chat, and it takes a while to get into his GI joe drawing (around 43 mins in) but i think our listeners often enjoy the "long way around"
Running order:
Kickliy's name
Car accident and reinvention from Sam Hiti identity
Musnet: the Mouse of Monet & Monet's house
Working with goache paint, Guarrido
Rediscovering gi joe toys and painting them

Sean J. Burg interviews Mike Costa; A rare, extensive and enlightening comics conversation with writer Mike Costa, focused on his seminal IDW comics G.I.JOE work, COBRA: THE LAST LAUGH series. This is an encore audio only presentation on an interview previously broadcast in August 2023 for ARMOR3*.

Friend of the show, Wordburglar, had the chance to interview comic book writer Mike Costa about his seminal IDW comics work on COBRA THE LAST LAUGH and beyond. In this extensive (enterprises) interview, Mike provided a lot of awesome insight into his stories, the origins of the book, how he worked with co-write Christos Gage, and how he worked with Hasbro, the characters, and more.

*This was originally part of Codename Iowa's ARMOR 3 online convention alongside many other video segments ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJqdbYpr-Ck / https://www.codenameiowa.com) . Wordburglar also has a video version on his own channel (https://youtu.be/8eYJkEkM5cY ) . The videos are talking heads - so you aren't missing on any additional visuals with Audio only version.

Wordburglar:
Sean Jordan better known by his stage name Wordburglar, is a . and GI Joe fan and Canadian hip hop artist, mixing killer beats and lyics with all things geek; and best known to GI Joe community for album Welcome to Cobra Island (featuring somgs such as I Don't Wanna Go to Cobra-La). His latest video, 1980 FORCE is a GI joe filled delight,if you have not seen it, head on over to youTube to check it out – it is taken from his latest comic book themed album, The Spinner rack can be found over at Bandcamp.
Wordburglar can be found on Talking joe episodes 89 and 239.
As a bonus we include at the end of the interview Wordburglar's track from WELCOME TO COBRA ISLAND - Track 12 - Chuckles (The Last Laugh) (beat by Fresh Kils)

Mike Costa & Cobra:
Mike Costa’s work on cobra started with GI Joe issue 0, spinning off into GI Joe Cobra 1-4, followed by Volume 2 1-13 the conclusion of which led into the Cobra civil war and 21 issues of volume 3, nine issues of GI Joe Cobra Files and concluding with 5 issues of Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra. The initial run, with co-writer Christos Gabe and Artist Antonio Fuso was collected as Cobra: The Last Laugh in a hard to find hardcover from IDW- and represents the most significant GI Joe storytelling since the early Marvel run from Larry Hama

      <title><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 235 - DISAVOWED - MIKE O'SULLIVAN INTERVIEW - G.I. JOE DEVILS DUE EDITOR]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Mike O'Sullivan - Devil's Due Editor interview

This was recorded 12th November 2023 as a web-chat with video on - it is for the most part just talking heads so audio only is possibly the way to go. As normal - the audio only version has more editing & clean up. 

The YouTube version is here: https://youtu.be/7rJUFQ-FF2o 

Mike was Editor for much of the 2nd half of the Devil’s Due era, joining as associate editor from #37 and overseeing the books though to the end of WWIII, writing several and even suppling some art.

This deep dive interview talks about his childhood Joe fandom, landing the dream gig of GI Joe editor, writing for Joe, the dynamics of working with Hasbro*, what would have happened if the book had continued past the WWIII arc. We also take a detour to explore his current work at Marvel working on their archive for reprints and on the Marvel Handbook. It is a long chat, but a lot of fun and a real insight into the America's Elite era.

G.I. Joe should be a book about "a group of friends who go on adventures together"

Editing (one way or another) credits include: G.I. Joe #37-43; G.I. Joe: America's Elite #0-up; G.I. Joe: Data Desk Handbook; G.I. Joe: Declassified; G.I. Joe: Master & Apprentice II #1-4; G.I. Joe Special Missions: Manhattan; G.I. Joe: The Hunt for Cobra Commander; G.I. Joe VS. Transformers (vol III) #1-5; Sigma 6 #1-6; Snake-Eyes: Declassified #1-6; the trade paperbacks of most of these, and a bunch of other stuff

Writing credits include Scarlett; Declassified, Data Desk Handbook, G.I. Joe: The Hunt for Cobra Commander, short stories in the Red Shadows trade paperback, GI Joe Americas Elite 19-20 and Special Missions: series.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mark and Tim dig into the latest issue of ARAH, G.I. Joe ARAH # 302 (released 20th December 2023) with Zombies, Funerals and Bedrooms, oh my! This episode has a brand new song parody intro, the return of Larry Hama Colloquialisms, Name The Joes with Diana Davis helping on the official answer, and a new "Postbox Pit" jingle for listener voicemails.
And if you've ever wondered, we answer the question "Can Mark have a grown up and mature discussion about Snake Eye's and Scarlett's relationship or will he resort to juvenile smut to Tim's disgust?"]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 233 - DISAVOWED - G.I. JOE Scarlett: Declassified - Devil's Due September 2006.

Mark and Tim are continuing to look back at the Disavowed era of GI joe with the 48 page one shot comic - G.I.Joe: Scarlett: Declassified from Devil's Due September 2006

Creative Team
Writer: Mike O'Sullivan,
Artist: Phil Noto,
Letterer: Brian J. Crowley,
Military Advisor: Phil Kost,
Special Thanks to Robert Rodi, Brian Torney and Mark & Patti O', with Gratitude and Appreciation to Larry Hama

How it fits in to Declassified Publication order:
Snake Eyes: Declassified #1-6 August 2005 - January 2006
Dreadnoks: Declassified #1-3  January 2006- May 2006
G.I. Joe: Declassified 1-3 June 2006 - October 2006
Scarlett: Declassified September 2006

We have reached the end of the Joe Casey era of America's Elite (check out the interview with him if you've not yet seen it), and so we will be digging into the non AE issues that came out during that time, before we head back in for the Mark Powers era.

Our expected reading order for the next few issues will be:
· Dreadnoks Declassified (January - May 2006)
· Special Missions Antarctica (December 2006)
· Special Missions Brazil (May 2007)
· G.I.JOE VS. THE TRANSFORMERS III: THE ART OF WAR (Jan2006-Aug 2006)
· G.I.Joe vs. The Transformers IV: Black Horizon (Jan-Feb 2007)
· DD AE 21-24 (sins of a mother Mar-Jun 2007)
· Special Missions: The Enemy (September 2007)
· DD AE 25 & to the end of AE!

Recorded 16th November 2023 as a YouTube livestream https://www.youtube.com/live/lReXmh4iIYE?si=XtuyzlvgWFXp6FZt
This audio only version has been edited for pauses etc. We don't share any images on screen, so audio only is my recommended option for listening to this one.
Following the release of ARAH issue 301, Mark catches up with Sybound's  "creative consultant" (formerly IDW's "Research Specialist") Diana Davis to discuss the road to the release of this much anticipated issue.  - what has been happening between end of issue 300 and now? - How has it been working with the Skybound team? How has it been different to working on ARAH at IDW? - some extra details on issue 301 and much more!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 228 - RON WAGNER INTERVIEW - G.I. JOE LEGEND

On Friday 3rd of November Mark and Tm were in Des Moines Iowa for the Assembly Required GI Joe convention. You can find out more at https://www.codenameiowa.com/ 

Des Moines is the home town of GI Joe artist Ron J. Wagner and he is a regular attendee at the show. Tim and I had the privilege of meeting Ron in person, finding an empty echoey conference room and recording an interview.

Ron will be well known to fans of GI joe comics - especially his classic Marvel  comics run of GI Joe 57-76 which covered the The Fred VII as Cobra commander era, Cobra Civil War, plus covers for the main run as well as Special missions, a silent issue in Yearbook 3, a silent prelude to issue 21 that appeared in the Devils Due Snake Eyes Declassified TPB + then returning at IDW for several issues 163,166, 173, 186, Annual 1 as well as for multiple covers

Beyond GI Joe, Ron has drawn for titles such as G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, The Punisher, Nth Man: The Ultimate Ninja, and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Talking joe talking to Joe. Its the Joe Casey G.I. Joe America's Elite Deep Dive  Interview 
Joe talks with Mark & Tim about his time writing America's Elite. We find out all about his original pitch and how closely he kept to it, his childhood encounters with GI Joe, why his run came to an end and so much more. We also resurrect everyone's favourite segment - "Devils Due or Devils Poo?"
Audio only direct link is  or via normal Podcast platfroms - links at www.talkingjoe.co.uk
YouTube link to this video https://youtu.be/5rKocYK8R6Y
The audio only version is much more tightly edited (removing pauses etc) so is my suggested way of listening to this one. The YouTube video is mostly as live with Tim and Mark on Video and Joe Casey has camera off.
Joe Casey is a Comics Writer who has worked on books such as X-Men,  Cable, Adventures of Superman, WildC.A.T.S. , he co-created characters such as America Chavez at Marvel and his own books such as GØDLAND & Butcher Baker. He’s also in the creative team, Man of Action and one of the co-creators of Ben 10.
But most importantly for us he wrote GI Joe Americas Elite # 0 in 2005 through to #18 in 2006]]></description>

Joe Casey is a Comics Writer who has worked on books such as X-Men,  Cable, Adventures of Superman, WildC.A.T.S. , he co-created characters such as America Chavez at Marvel and his own books such as GØDLAND & Butcher Baker. He’s also in the creative team, Man of Action and one of the co-creators of Ben 10.
But most importantly for us he wrote GI Joe Americas Elite # 0 in 2005 through to #18 in 2006]]></itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 225 - Recap summary of G.I. Joe ARAH 155.5 - 300 IDW ERA extended plot breakdown!

(Authors note. As it happens this is probably the most time consuming episode I've ever made - I began a recap read through of the IDW series writing down a summary of each issue with this episode in mind many months ago. as you can imagine, re-reading 150 odd issues and making notes, then condensing those notes and recording them is some endeavour).

In this episode, I will be doing the opposite of what we normally do (which is to take a single issue or arc and do a deep dive). Today I will be instead giving a plot breakdown recap of the entire IDW ARAH era covering issues 155.5 through to 300 with 2 sentences or so to describe a plot summary of each issue and get you up to speed ahead of issue 301.

Just to give a recap of the context; Marvel published GI Joe A Real American Hero in 1982 through to 1994. It ran for 155 Issues almost all of those written by Larry Hama. When IDW began releasing G.I. Joe comics in January 2009 they focussed initially on their own new continuity; but in 2010, IDW restarted the original Marvel A Real American Hero continuity picking up with issue #155 1/2 with Larry Hama once more writing the same continuity he started in 1982. It finished at issue 300 at IDW in 2022, over 40 years since it started. The Continuity picks up again with issue 301 at Skybound.

      <description><![CDATA[G.I. Joe 291 - 300 plot summary recap of High Stakes & All in - the Cobra Casino saga from IDW - prepare for 301 at Skybound / Image

Its a bonus episode with recycled content. Youtube version here: https://youtu.be/ja_DhOXe8Os

To get you up to speed for the start of GI Joe #301 at Skybound, Mark summarises the plot for issues 291-300 of GI Joe A Real American Hero written by Larry Hama, with art by (mostly) SL Gallant. This covers the 2 final plot arcs from IDW - High Stakes and All In.

This is a companion video to the 155.5 - 300 summary we have also put together, but lingering a little more on the specific details of these final issues.

This is recycled content - a supercut of the Plot Breakdown segment of the normal Talking Joe deep dive review shows. ]]></description>

alking Joe 218 - Nel Yomtov Interview (G.I. Joe , Transformers, Marvel, Iron Man)

We bring you an interview with another significant person from the history of GI Joe - Nelson "Nel" Yomtov.

Nel is known for his work at  Marvel comics from 1975 to 1996 -  as a writer, colourist and editor and more besides.  For GI Joe, he coloured issues of GI Joe, GI joe special Missions, GI Joe order of battle & Joe Vs Transformers & also colored the whole 80 issue Marvel run of Transformers,

Nel played a critical role in the history of GI Joe, as in his role as Director of Product Development in Marvel’s licensing division. He was responsible for GI joe's licensing when it launched in 1982 and was in the room where it happened in the critical early meetings between Marvel and Hasbro.

We discuss Nel's journey at Marvel, how he got started, working in licensing, colouring, and editing, plus the K-Otics - the band he was in with Larry Hama.

      <description><![CDATA[ALKING JOE 216 - Disavowed - Interview with Sam Wells (Devils Due Assistant Publisher)
Sam Wells, based in Chicago, started as an Intern at Devils Due Publishing and went on to be Assistant Publisher and has gone on to run the  Toy shop, Toy De Jour.
This is the more tightly edited audio only verion of the YouTube interview posted earlier.
https://youtu.be/m2cCLmmNRA0
During his time at Devil's Due, Sam was involved in a bunch of stuff, but most prominently for us, the readers, as the writer on Special Missions Brazil (a story inspired by the original figures), and the Data Desk profiles. He also had some involvement in the Hasbro approval process, who he has previously described as "a multi headed schizophrenic beast".
In this interview we have a deep dive into the Devil's Due years, running from the intern days to the end of Sam's time and Devils Due and beyond.

I bring you the news from3 of the panels, and include some audio from those panels where available. A big thanks to Phillip Donnelly so getting out the news lave as it happened on the Convention floor. 
Energon universe Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNPXwLPfudU 
You can read about the initial Skybound news here https://www.patreon.com/posts/84601419 and watch me and Chris M.A.C.L.O.E.D discuss it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrbOJjq3pug
What we already know: about the Shared Hasbro Energon Universe:
•	Void Rivals is the stating point of the universe, which started with issue 1 in June 
•	Transformers #1 October 2023 by Daniel Warren Johnson
•	Duke #1 December 2023 from Joshua Williamson (DC’s Superman, Dark Ride) and Tom Reilly (The Thing),

In November, Skybound will also release G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #1 Larry Hama Cut, a special reprint of the iconic first issue featuring Larry Hama’s original, unaltered scripting.
One theme that was repeated is that they want letters! Void rivals@skybound.com is the email address, so get writing!

Youtube (with us on video and extra images): https://youtu.be/ziuz8_HWJlk 
  
Audio Only Podcast (with better sound) at normal Podcatchers, links at https://talkingjoe.co.uk/

Following on from our recent deep dive into the Larry Hama written comic "Spy Hunter and Paper Boy" Mark and Tim Finn took some time to catch up with the artist of the book (and G.I. Joe fan) artist Mathew "Mac Rey" Reynolds. Mathew Mac Rey Reynolds

We talk about discovering G.I. Joe as a kid back in 1982, the influence that it has had, early life, comics, art and breaking in  to comics. We discuss his big comics projects to date: Vic Falcon (the creator owned project he developed with Larry Hama), Mercenary Sea, Ruff & Reddy, Spy Hunter & Paper Boy, and speculate at the possibility of G.I. Joe in his future.

      <description><![CDATA[Talking Joe 209 - Spy Hunter & Paper Boy review - For Cobra Convergence 7  - The Best Hama Joe comic you've never heard of!
 
Its the annual fan Cobra Convergence 7 where across the month Joe fan creators share new content! And the loose theme this year is spies, so what better tie in than to look at an unknown but GREAT comic from GI Joe Legend Larry Hama with the name SPYHUNTER in the tittle! Find out more about CC7 here: https://hcc788.com/
 
In this episode of next episode Mark and Tim are talking about what I am calling Larry Hama’s best GI Joe comic that you have never heard of, Spy Hunter & Paper Boy, released May 2021. (Even if technically speaking it isn't GI Joe).  Released May 2021, Spy Hunter & Paper Boy #1-6 (DC, $3.99 each): a "digital first" (but in reality digital only) comic arriving on DC’s digital first channels including ComiXology, with all six issues released on the same day
You can find the issues digitally on Amazon (formerly comiXology) link https://t.co/e4xMWUOT2x
You can also find the issue in other places if you were to Google "spyhunter paperboy viewcomic"
The series is written by Larry Hama with art by Mac Rey, and letters by Pat Brosseau and it features a crossover between two old video game franchises, Spy Hunter and Paper Boy.  There are very few details publicly available about the book - all 6 issues were quietly released as "Digital first" in May 2021 without any sort of fanfare or publicity by DC. There was really nothing in the comic itself that explained what the series was or why it existed and never had a print release.  This is some of the best GI Joe like work by Hama since his prime in the 80s at Marvel with some stunning art.   You can read the series and listen or listen and then read it or just listen, whatever!. There are a few spoilers but we've tried not to go too heavy on details of plot.
Mac Rey (artist) - Arkansas resident, Mathew “Mac Rey” Reynolds started out in comics back in the early days of Malibu on books like AIRMAN and THE PROTECTORS, more recently he has worked on THE MERCENARY SEA from Image Comics. And “The RUFF and REDDY SHOW” from DC comics. After working on a creator-owned project called VIC FALCON with G.I. JOE writer Larry Hama, they went on to work together on Spy Hunter & Paper Boy.
Spy Hunter: a vehicular combat action game developed by Bally Midway and released for arcades in 1983. The object of the game is to drive down roads in the technologically advanced  the fictitious G-6155 Interceptor car and destroy various enemy vehicles with a variety of onboard weapons.
Paperboy is an arcade action game developed and published by Atari Games and Midway Games, and released in 1985. The player takes the role of a paperboy who delivers a fictional newspaper called The Daily Sun along a suburban street on his bicycle. The game was ported to many home systems beginning in 1986.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Talking Joe Ep 208 Void Arrival - Void Rivals #1 review Skybound June 2023 with guest  Josh Eggebeen

This episode was recorded with video so it is relatively visual - particularly on the cover gallery section. The YouTube link is here https://youtu.be/snu2AMOZjq4 

However it should still work as audio only. If you are listening audio only let me know what you think. 

Mark and Tim talk about Void rivals #1 released 14 June 2023 . It’s the launchpad of the Hasbro Energon Universe at the new home of GI Joe, Skybound!  We are joined by Josh “After Action Report” Eggebeen who tells us all about his scavenger hunt for the issue 1 variant covers – “Gotta catch’ em all!”

We talk about what we think of this issue, but also what it might mean for the wider Energon Universe.

      <description><![CDATA[Talking Joe 206 - Disavowed - G.I. Joe America's Elite # 1 - 4 (2005)

Mark and Tim are continuing their look at the Disavowed era with G.I.Joe America's Elite # 1 - 4  (Devils Due July-October 2005)  , the first arc of the Joe Casey run 

For those reading along, this is collected in 2006 Americas Elite TPB 1 “The Newest War (0-5) or2013 TPB Americas Elite vol 1 from IDW 0-6

It's the return of some classic jingles in this episode, where the big question being asked is; "does Flint push a push pop?" We really enjoyed the big opener in issue zero, so how does this momentum hold up for the next arc of four issues?

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 203 - DISAVOWED - AMERICA'S ELITE! #0 “The Newest War” (Devils Due June 2005)
YouTube: https://youtu.be/MHgnMgEuQm0
It's the start of an all new era of Talking Joe Disavowed - we have concluded the first phase of the Devils Due era with GI Joe #43 and the end of the Brandon Jerwa era, and <ark and Tim are moving on to the  G.I. Joe America's Elite era with issue #0 “The Newest War” (Devils Due June 2005)  , the first issue of the Joe Casey relaunch.
We talk about the context, and some of the creator quotes from the time before digging into this one. We linger  little as it is the start of the new run, but from here on out we will start going at pace!
"A New Era of Greatness for G.I. Joe begins Here! "The Newest War" This is it - the subject of excitement, discussion, and controversy: Joe Casey takes on the Joes! Who will make the cut? Who will lead them? A year has passed since the events of G.I. Joe #43. The world has grown even more chaotic and when a tragedy of mythic proportions is visited upon Chicago, the President must summons the country's greatest warrior to lead a new GI Joe team! Meanwhile, what has become of Cobra? The answers and the suspense is right here."

      <description><![CDATA[Talking Joe 195 - Disavowed - G.I Joe Master and Apprentice Series 2. Mark is joined by dark apprentices Tim and Jay to continuing our look at the Brandon Jerwa era of GI Joe with Master and Apprentice series two, issues 1-4 (Devils Due  February 2005– May 2005)  , which were coming out at the same time as # 40 – 42 Union of the Snake / Dawn of the Red Shadows arc.

It's the return of GI Jay after a while away, nice to have him back for a special guest appearance!

This week …

We get lost with Demon faces in the flames
We try to figure out why Billy afraid of exploding horses
We find out that Jay believes that Japanese girl characters in all fiction can only be named after characters from the 1982 Wolverine miniseries.
We try to remember which one is Slice and which one is Dice.
We explore how Udon plays a significant role in the making of this book
Jay gets carried away with his "Budo, Private Eye" fanfic
And an extra serving of waffle as always

      <description><![CDATA[What is our wishlist from the new GI Joe publisher? 

Mark and Tim Finn are joined by Jason Murrell (Order of Battle) and Bryan Mitchell ("A Real American Bryan")  We speculating on future plans for the GI Joe comic at the new publisher, asking 2 key questions-

What would we want to see from the Larry Hama written book for 301 and beyond? AND What would welike to see from the new (as yet not officially announced) publisher, beyond the Hama ARAH book?

This was originally a YouTube livestream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izOKKxjFjFY recorded 4th Feb 2023 (before a new publisher has been confirmed). This is audio only - it is much more heavily edited (removing erms pauses etc)  and has better audio quality. The video has us on Camera - but it isn't image heavy so you're not missing out by going audio only route.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mark and Tim continue our look at the Disavowed era with G.I. Joe  with an interview with special guest Tim Seeley

We never take it easy on the comics  when we are doing our reviews (I like to think we keep it to objective criticism - either gushing praise or unfair scorn) but I have a genuine affection for Tim Seeley's art run on GI Joe and it was great to get to talk to him about his time working on GI Joe with Devil's Due.

Tim Seeley is an American comic book creator with many credits to his name, which includes writing  on books such as Grayson and Batman Eternal, as the co-creator co-creator of the Image Comics titles Hack/Slash , but most importantly as a creator synonymous with the Devils Due Era of GI Joe; most significantly Pencilling most of issue 23-43, and writing the issues of Frontline, Special Missions and the 3rd and 4th Transformers crossovers., and more besides.

We talk about

Starting at Devils Due & recommending Steve Kurth as artist
Bullpen environment of Devils Due
A memorable encounter with Larry Hama
Moving from Drawing to both writing and drawing
The end of his run with issue 43 & launch of Americas elite
GI Joe vs Transformers
Working with Robert Kirkman back in early 200s - Snake Eyes on the moon!
and more besides!

This episode will be available as both audio only (more tightly edited) and video (3 talking heads with some extra images to illustrate talking points). My preference would be the audio only which gets rid of al the erms etc.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Jim Shooter Interview

For the 40th anniversary, Talking Joe continues its look back to the secret origins of GI Joe ARAH. Mark and Tim talk to Jim Shooter, editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics when G.I Joe was launched in 1982. As you will find out, Jim was instrumental to the creation and success of the G.I. Joe comic and the property as a whole.

Jim Shooter is an American comics creator, editor, and publisher. He made his start writing Legion of Super-Heroes when he was only fourteen years old,

He served as the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics from 1978 to 1987 and during this time launched G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero in 1982, gave Larry Hama the writing gig and has editor in chief credits up to issue 64.

After leaving Marvel he founded several comics companies including Valiant Comics, Defiant Comics and Broadway Comics.

YouTube video is here. The audio only version should be broadly the same content - the audio quality is better, and has been edited down more carefuly. The benefit of the video is that we are all on screen and i share a few images on screen, but largely for colour rather than essential for understanding.

https://youtu.be/7Hu7UMIajHM

We talk about

- Licensed Properties at Marvel in the 1980s

- The general conditions for Marvel, teetering on bankruptcy, and owners who had no interest in comics.

- How Marvel was approached for G.I. Joe and the initial steps to putting together the book.

- The parallels and differences with the launch of Transformers at Marvel.

- And so much more besides!]]></description>

You can choose between the more heavily edited audio version (removing pauses etc) or the YouTube version with added visual content (we are al on camera, and I share some photos etc on screen)
YouTube Video here: https://youtu.be/fz3za3_4fPw

Ron Rudat has been associated with GI Joe for over 40 years. He was part of Hasbro’s Research and Development (R&D) team and designed every single figure from 1982-1986, and many of the 1987 wave, as well as several vehicles and graphics.

Ron's Studio - past & present
Civil War re-enactment / shooting
Working at Hasbro
The horror of presentation meetings
The process for designing figures and vehicles

      <description><![CDATA[Talking Joe Ep 187.5 / Outta Timers 19.5

Ben and Chief, the OG Talking Joe originators return for a bonus Christmas Special. I asked for a short contribution for the Christmas special, and they gave me a whole show!

Chief and Ben created Talking Joe in 2018 and were the hosts of the first 24 episodes, and reunited for the spin-off Outta Timers podcast. This is the first time they're both back as a duo since Talking Joe episode 24 in May 2019

They talk sour sweets, Christmas movies, Walkmans / Walkmen (?) and most importantly memories of GI Joe toys under the Christmas tree!

      <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Talking Joe Ep 187.5 / Outta Timers 19.5

Ben and Chief, the OG Talking Joe originators return for a bonus Christmas Special. I asked for a short contribution for the Christmas special, and they gave me a whole show!

Chief and Ben created Talking Joe in 2018 and were the hosts of the first 24 episodes, and reunited for the spin-off Outta Timers podcast. This is the first time they're both back as a duo since Talking Joe episode 24 in May 2019

They talk sour sweets, Christmas movies, Walkmans / Walkmen (?) and most importantly memories of GI Joe toys under the Christmas tree!

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 187 -
Christmas special with special guests

It's a Talking Joe Christmas Special with a break from our normal comics deep dive. Mark is joined by Tim to talk Christmas Gifts, Traditions and Joe stories with some Musical interludes, with a host of special guests giving their GI Joe Christmas memories and more.

Big thanks to all our contributors; Andrew Swenson, Michael Kelly, GI Jay Cordray, Chris McLeod, Carson "3D Joes" Mataxis, Adam Riches, Matt “Mate Mylar” Miller, Bart Simon, Stephen Jubber, Chuck X Goren, Paddy Lennon, Malcham Zidek (aka UndeadOpFigs / Chad LaForce) and Kirk Bozigian!

Despite not actually being about GI Joe comics I probably spent more time on this episode than any other due to the amount of editing and extra content created!

And there's more- we will be dropping an extra special bonus mini episode on Dec 25th featuring the return of Chief and Ben to Talking joe!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Larry Hama Interview – Recorded 1st October 2022

Finally – Talking Joe has been able to speak with G.I. Joe legend Larry Hama! At the outset of Talking Joe we always thought picking the brains of the great man would be a show highlight, and he didn’t disappoint! We try our level best to ask some new questions for Larry so we skip past the sort of GI Joe #1 and #21 were created in this talk.

You have the choice of an audio only version (with extra editing to clean up the audio and get rid of some pauses and pops etc and a bonus introductory jingle). Or the video version https://youtu.be/L5hyrQaLPQc

· Early years at Marvel

· New York & Larry’s favourite cup of coffee

· Recent work drawing Breakdowns on DCs books

· The inspiration for the voice of Cobra Commander

· Exploring “what making it up as he goes along” really means, including approaching the IDW finale of issue 300.

· His approach to “writing”

· The origin of the I Ching Hexagram tattoo

· The convention experience

· The issue 21 Silent issue cover and Larry’s 40thAnniversary cover reinterpretation to “fix it”.

· The origin of the Baroness

· Thoughts on the IDW era, Dawn, new characters and representation.

He really needs no introduction… Larry Hama is an American comic-book writer, artist, actor, and musician who has worked in the fields of entertainment and publishing since the 1960s. Most importantly he is the person who has been writing GI Joe comics starting with issue 1 in 1982, and has continued (on and off) to present day.

      <description><![CDATA[Mark and Tim talk to artist  Jamie Sullivan about his record breaking issue 300 cover, 40th Anniversary issue, connecting covers and more.

This was originally recorded as a YouTube livestream, so while we illustrate on screen with images, it still works as an audio only discussion. Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAep9or-swk

Jamie Sullivan is a cover artist for IDW’s GI Joe: A Real American Hero comic series, creating nearly 30 covers during IDW’s run*, and all manner of other GI Joe projects like Marvel cover recreations, and Hector Garrido package art recreations. Before he boldly goes in a new direction with his comics art, he finished out his IDW run with a wraparound  cover to IDW’s final issue, 300 featuring 313 distinct characters in a single image, breaking the record for the most characters on a comic book cover previously set by Deadpool issue 27 with 224 characters.

*248,256,257,258,259,260, 267, 278, 291, 300 + connecting covers #266-270 “Original 13”, #271-275 "All Hands On Deck" #296-300 "Cobra Command". Plus also the cover to “Complete Silence” (issue 21 reprint) and a page in the 40thAnniversary special.

As well as the artist for Toynami’s current line of Robotech Toys and limited edition prints. He’s worked for companies such as Disney and Marvel and has created art for Lucasfilm’s Star Wars. Jamie is the Co-Creator and Artist of the comic book “4 Reasons To Own A Death Ray” and the upcoming series “The Deeply Enthralling Misadventures of My Amputated Toe”. Jamie’s attention to detail, inventive composition and deep love for the subject matter he works with is what continues to make him a fan favourite.

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 172 - DISAVOWED - G.I. Joe #36 & 37 Union of the snake” Part 1 & 2 of 6 (Devils Due November & December 2004)

Mark and Tim continue to look at the Disavowed era with G.I. Joe  #36 & 37 ; “Union of the snake” Part 1 & 2 of 6 (Devils Due November & December 2004)





G.I. Jay Cordray is not with us this week as the real world is getting in the way of time for podcasting but we wish him the best and we are Charlie Mike with the show. The door is open for his return in the future.

This week …

Tim tells us why he doesn’t want to see Snake Eye’s teeth
How do we feel about Dr Mindbender being beaten by a cinderblock on a stick?
We try our best to remember General Gibbs’ name, while the Joes are trying to be Staying Alive.
Tim still isn’t a fan of Storm Shadow’s armpit tassels.
Bous I Spy that i forgot to mention: in  #36 there is a reference to "Uncle Winkins swamp water soda". This is of course a drink from Torch's drinks brand. All the way back in issue 2 there was mention of his “uncle winkins hard grape soda company.

      <description><![CDATA[Talking Joe - Bill Ratner Interview - Voice of Flint from GI Joe

YouTube episode with video available here https://youtu.be/rAwIk_XCOss

Tim and Mark speak with Bill Ratner, the voice actor for Flint in the GI Joe cartoons. A highlight is that during the interview as a bit of fun, we recorded a Public Service Announcement based on the new PSAs in the back of the  Saturday Morning Adventures book.  Link to just the PSA segment: https://youtu.be/oN67WOSB0TQ  About Bill Ratner:    Bill Ratner is one of Hollywood's premier voiceover artists and a published poet, essayist, fiction writer and spoken word performer. His voice can be heard on movie trailers, TV promos,  commercials, documentaries and Video Games… But most importantly he is the cartoon voice of "Flint" on the G.I. Joe Sunbow cartoon, appearing in 45 or so episodes 1984-86 and GI Joe the Movie, celebrating its 35th anniversary.    This summer… Talking Joe talks to Bill Ratner!    http://www.billratner.com]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Sketchbook special - Chief's GI Joe sketches & commissions.

Mark was joined by Talking Joe founder Chief Stride to a record sketchbook special looking at his selection of GI Joe  sketches and commissions.

We are looking at Chief's art collection on screen during this LiveStream recording, so this episode is a very visual heavy episode.

I would recommend:
1) Watching the Youtube Episode -https://youtu.be/mvggBgJxdrc
or
2) Listening to this audio only episode and having a look at the PDF on Patreon

Joining Mark to discuss bad moon rising, its a real American Warewolf, Tim Finn and our resident lunar-tic, its GI Jay, Jay Cordray.

I didn't make any notes on highlight so you'll just have to listen. But I did put in a new feature "Back once again with the GI Joe Master" - whatever could it be...?

(but seriously if anyone wants to note some highlights as you listen that would be appreciated!)

      <description><![CDATA[TJ Disavowed - Fantom (Wraith Origin) Backup story from 31 - 33

Mark, Tim and Jay continue their look at the Disavowed era with the Wraith backups story - "Fantom" part 1-3 from 31,32,33.

Attached is the column in the back of the book where Devils Due Creators are asked what damage they inflicted on their GI Joe toys.

Questions asked:

- How long can the Talking Joe team possibly talk about a story that is just 12 pages long?

- What relevance could the inking style of Danny Miki possibly have to the issue at hand?

- How did we mutilate our own GI Joe toys when we we young?

- And what does the team think of this new crazy cat on the GI Joe scene, Wriath?

Story: Brandon Jerwa,
Art: Talent Caldwell,
Inks: Jason Gorder,
Colors: Christina Strain

Publicity Blurb from 2004:

Devil’s Due Publishing has chosen Aspen Studios to design WRAITH, a new major villain for the G.I.Joe comic book series. The studio will create a 3 part BACK UP story starting with G.I.Joe #31 . Devil’s Due has worked with Aspen in the past (on covers for G.I.Joe #22 and the COBRA REBORN incentive cover) and is happy to expand the relationship between the two publishers.

Talent Caldwell will be providing the designs for the character, as well as art for the back up stories and two covers. Michael Turner will be illustrating the cover for the finale, with issue #33. Brandon Jerwa, who will provide the script for the story (entitled FANTOM), created WRAITH.

Devil’s Due President Josh Blaylock is certain that the innovative new character will excite fans, while simultaneously acquiring new readers. “Brandon pitched this character to us over a year ago, and we’ve just been waiting for the right time. By bringing the Aspen guys on board, we’re sure to have a hit on our hands, and create a character that will be around for years to come. It’s gonna rock.”

When asked about working with Devil's Due and helping to design Wraith, the new G.I. Joe character, Talent Caldwell said, "I'm really excited to be working on this project. I've always been a huge Joe fan, and being asked to design a new major character like this is really flattering. I've been wanting to do some work on G.I. Joe for a while, and this special story wound up being the perfect fit. It's been a lot of fun and I hope everyone enjoys what we have in store for them!"

Talent Caldwell

Talent Caldwell went to a Charlotte, NC comic con in 1997 and showed off his artwork for the first time. He was told to become more like the established artist like Michael Turner and Marc Silvestri. He took the words to heart. He moved from his hometown of Clarksville, TN to move to L.A. to try to get into his passion of film. Talent only did music videos and his first was in 1999, Sevendust “Denial” and then later Destiny’s Child “Bug-a-boo”. Talent realized he didn’t enjoy dancing and went back to drawing. At a comic con Talent was discovered by Michael Turner and offered a chance to show his stuff to Marc Silvestri. On January 12, 2000, Talent officially started working as a professional artist. He did background work on Fathom. Only to move onto the creation of the miniseries Fathom: Killian’s Tide. Later Talent left Top Cow to join Michael Turner forming Aspen Comics. After a lawsuit between Top Cow and Aspen comics, Talent’s Fathom: Dawn of War miniseries was published. He co-wrote and drew the artwork for it to be published in 2004. After the release of the miniseries, he broke away from Aspen comics to do freelance work. He has done artwork for Marvel and DC comics.

      <itunes:summary><![CDATA[TJ Disavowed - Fantom (Wraith Origin) Backup story from 31 - 33

Mark, Tim and Jay continue their look at the Disavowed era with the Wraith backups story - "Fantom" part 1-3 from 31,32,33.

Attached is the column in the back of the book where Devils Due Creators are asked what damage they inflicted on their GI Joe toys.

Questions asked:

- How long can the Talking Joe team possibly talk about a story that is just 12 pages long?

- What relevance could the inking style of Danny Miki possibly have to the issue at hand?

- How did we mutilate our own GI Joe toys when we we young?

- And what does the team think of this new crazy cat on the GI Joe scene, Wriath?

Story: Brandon Jerwa,
Art: Talent Caldwell,
Inks: Jason Gorder,
Colors: Christina Strain

Publicity Blurb from 2004:

Devil’s Due Publishing has chosen Aspen Studios to design WRAITH, a new major villain for the G.I.Joe comic book series. The studio will create a 3 part BACK UP story starting with G.I.Joe #31 . Devil’s Due has worked with Aspen in the past (on covers for G.I.Joe #22 and the COBRA REBORN incentive cover) and is happy to expand the relationship between the two publishers.

Talent Caldwell will be providing the designs for the character, as well as art for the back up stories and two covers. Michael Turner will be illustrating the cover for the finale, with issue #33. Brandon Jerwa, who will provide the script for the story (entitled FANTOM), created WRAITH.

Devil’s Due President Josh Blaylock is certain that the innovative new character will excite fans, while simultaneously acquiring new readers. “Brandon pitched this character to us over a year ago, and we’ve just been waiting for the right time. By bringing the Aspen guys on board, we’re sure to have a hit on our hands, and create a character that will be around for years to come. It’s gonna rock.”

When asked about working with Devil's Due and helping to design Wraith, the new G.I. Joe character, Talent Caldwell said, "I'm really excited to be working on this project. I've always been a huge Joe fan, and being asked to design a new major character like this is really flattering. I've been wanting to do some work on G.I. Joe for a while, and this special story wound up being the perfect fit. It's been a lot of fun and I hope everyone enjoys what we have in store for them!"

Talent Caldwell

Talent Caldwell went to a Charlotte, NC comic con in 1997 and showed off his artwork for the first time. He was told to become more like the established artist like Michael Turner and Marc Silvestri. He took the words to heart. He moved from his hometown of Clarksville, TN to move to L.A. to try to get into his passion of film. Talent only did music videos and his first was in 1999, Sevendust “Denial” and then later Destiny’s Child “Bug-a-boo”. Talent realized he didn’t enjoy dancing and went back to drawing. At a comic con Talent was discovered by Michael Turner and offered a chance to show his stuff to Marc Silvestri. On January 12, 2000, Talent officially started working as a professional artist. He did background work on Fathom. Only to move onto the creation of the miniseries Fathom: Killian’s Tide. Later Talent left Top Cow to join Michael Turner forming Aspen Comics. After a lawsuit between Top Cow and Aspen comics, Talent’s Fathom: Dawn of War miniseries was published. He co-wrote and drew the artwork for it to be published in 2004. After the release of the miniseries, he broke away from Aspen comics to do freelance work. He has done artwork for Marvel and DC comics. Talent worked on Wildstorm and Gen 13 comics during his freelance career.]]></itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[Talking Joe - Cobra Convergence 6 - Talking about our favourite Crazy Cobras

The latest Talking Joe episode out today is part the GI Joe fan community event Cobra Convergence 6.

Mark and Tim talk about some of our favourite Crazy Cobras, Bizarre Baddies and Wacky Weirdos. We are joined as a special guest by Talking Joe founder, the Chief Dog!

Video Version including images of the art & toys we are talking about : https://youtu.be/cWYUudJGGWA
Links to audio podcasts at https://talkingjoe.co.uk/
The audio version has been more heavily edited that the video, but including getting rid of most references that refer to an image on the screen so it definitely still works as an audio only podcast.

About Cobra Convergence:
Trailer: https://youtu.be/pIbr_ddzhOk
Details here: https://hcc788.com/cobra-convergence-6/

We have also created a separate post for some content that was left on the cutting room floor, featuring Chief going into rather gruesome detail on his recent surgery. Currently only available to our Patreon subscribers https://www.patreon.com/posts/68455510

As some bonus content I also created a little video talking about the Pogo toy's appearances in the GI Joe comics for HCC788 who will be doing a show focussed on this vehicle. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mark and Tim talk about issue of G.I. Joe ARAH # 292 released 11th May 2022

- We discuss how this issue seems to be doing a lot of looking back, as we begin to look forward to the finale with issue 300.

Questions asked this week -

- Will Snake Eyes will come back from the dead?

- What is up with the Genghis Kahn Skellington?

- Is Wotan the most inept suicide bomber ever?

- What is a Butcher Android Trooper?

Plus - It’s a crisis of infinite clones as we get listener’s responses to our question- who would you like Dr Mindbender to bring back to life!

Audio only at the moment – a YouTube video will be prepared over the next week and will end up on the YouTube channel here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxpXId3BqXZkR8Mpwjf5zokt3648Jv9Os.

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 151 - DISAVOWED - G.I. Joe #28 PLAYERS AND PAWNS 1 2004 with Brandon Jerwa

We are continuing our look at the Disavowed era with G.I. Joe #28 PLAYERS AND PAWNS (1 OF 5) from Devils Due 2004. 

As usual, Mark is joined by real American Tim, Tim Finn, and GI Jay, Jay Cordray.

Now, what I find more amazing than the guests we get, is that some of them choose to come back! Making his encore appearance, its comic writer Brandon Jerwa.  https://comicvine.gamespot.com/brandon-jerwa/4040-47661/issues-cover/

We ask Brandon about some of the details of the last few issues including the rewrites of Frontline #16
use of BOLD FOR EMPHASIS
Find out more about SprocketMan the Bicycle safety super hero, and Monkey Stripping before we get into the details of #28
The launch of GI Joe Reloaded
New characters, The Spy Troop era & Raptor Vipers
Who is the mysterious "Snipe-Face"?
Plus Tim sings some advert jingles
...And a very special GI Joe Origins movie pitch

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 147 - DISAVOWED – G.I. JOE 26 2004 "SCOTT STURGIS IS A REASONABLE MAN..."

We have concluded our look at the Frontline series so we are back on the main series with G.I. Joe 26 SCOTT STURGIS IS A REASONABLE MAN... – (Devils Due 2004) . It marks the beginning of the Brandon Jerwa era of GI Joe as he takes the reigns as solo writer on the main book. It is also the first issue published by Devils Due (rather than through Image)

As always, Mark is joined by reasonable man GI Jay, Jay Cordray, and unreasonable man Tim Finn.

Featuring new jingle - "Devils Due colours" - reasonable or unreasonable. You decide!

YouTube Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W9K9AjwTDc&t=1659s

This episode is a bit different to our standard chat where we do a deep dive into a particular issue. With lots of interesting G.I joe news Tim Finn , Jay Cordray and I had a bit of a discussion of a few of the things from the last few days news. Recorded Saturday 22nd January so pretty current but who knows what has happened since, probably a billion other new things.

YouTube Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W9K9AjwTDc&t=1659s

This episode is a bit different to our standard chat where we do a deep dive into a particular issue. With lots of interesting G.I joe news Tim Finn , Jay Cordray and I had a bit of a discussion of a few of the things from the last few days news. Recorded Saturday 22nd January so pretty current but who knows what has happened since, probably a billion other new things.

      <description><![CDATA[TJ 145 - G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO 288 Falcon Spotlight with Carson from 3D Joes

Video here https://youtu.be/HEKGcIloeC8 

Mark and Tim chat about issue of G.I. Joe ARAH # 288 released 8th December 2021 and we joined by Carson from 3D Joes!
Technical note: Carson's audio is a little choppy in places at the start so we turn off video, which helps and the audio is good after that.

Find out about the cool details behind the turn of events that lead to Carson's Falcon cosplay being the inspiration behind the John Royle variant cover.  Special guest Carson Mataxis is the curator of the 3-D Joes website, author of “Collecting the Art of G.I.Joe" , Operation: Recall toy project and Lt Falcon cospayer and so much more. I've been wanting to have him on the show for ages, so it's great we finally made it happen!  Visit 3D Joes! - https://www.3djoes.com/
This is a follow up epsidode 141 released a few weeks ago where we talked to the artist of the issue Kewber Baal. So if you’ve not listened to that episode that’s where to go to get the whole behind the scenes story from the artist.  See our interview with 288 artist Kewber Baal in TJ Ep 41 https://youtu.be/aB6tqRyW-0Q]]></description>

It's the rootin', tootin' twenty seventh episode of Talking Joe and the boys have a lot to say with four jammed packed issues of G.I. Joe to discuss! Ever wondered if a dog can survive a chainsaw attack? If Dr Mindbender ever got his 50m swimming badge? Or if it's a good idea to take mess with Jinx, Lady Jaye and Scarlett? Chief & Chris will guide you through the happenings of ARAH 79-80 and Special Missions 11-12 where you'll find all the answers. On top of all that, Chief has more train woes, Chris talks toys and we also find out his favourite 80's action show!]]></description>

An internal power struggle in Cobra has Destro and Cobra Commander at odds with each other. Cobra Commander hires a Night Creeper, Josef Ulrich, to kill Destro. The Joes are already on Ulrich's trail after an assassination that they are investigating. Destro & Cobra Commander continue there bickering, and Baroness, Zartan & Storm Shadow are all drawn into the argument. Ulrich shows up to fulfill his contract, and is easily killed by Destro. The Joes attack, and Cobra Commander concedes to Destro. And the air is cleared in Cobra, for the time being.

      <description><![CDATA[TJ 139 - Disavowed Part 15 - G.I. Joe: Front Line #15 “going home”

Mark, Tim & Jay are talking G.I. Joe Frontline #15  in our ongoing look at the “Disavowed” Devils Due era with this single issue focussing on Stalker.
As Stalker returns home we talk button eyes, coffee steam sculpures, an artist with a fear of drawing background, and Mark speculates that Stalker earns his codename as he gets a bit "stalky".

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 138 PART 2 - G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #287 "THE NEWBIES" WITH ARTIST BILLY PENN

Youtube episode here: https://youtu.be/R-x3OxKiidI

Mark and Tim continue our chat about issue of G.I. Joe ARAH # 287, released 10th November and we joined by the artist of the book Billy Penn!

It is a chat so epic that we had to split it in two!

Part 1 gives Billys GI Joe origins story & the behind the scenes tale on how 287 was made. In Part 2 we discuss look at the story in 287 in more detail, with the normal Plot Breakdown, I Spy, Error Detected, Hama Time and so on.

Billy also drops the bombshell that he created a stop motion video adptation of Silent Interlude. Whaaaat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SEaDCKYzTc

Billy Penn is based in Talahase, Florida and draws comics when he isn't busy being a husband, father, and elementary school art teacher. His published works include a back-up in Savage Dragon, and the OGN Hotshot and Mighty Girl, and other "self-published" works that include Flash Trotter, Codename: VooDoo Chyl' , Bacon and Eggs and The Curious Command of Col. Krup to his resume.

The story that defined a generation ― G.I. Joe #21.

In terms of GI Joe art - does it get any bigger? Mark and Tim are joined by Gene Park, the original comic art collector who has the complete issue 21 in his collection.  The story that defined a generation ― G.I. Joe #21. This wordless issue introduced the world to Snake Eye’s mysterious nemesis Storm Shadow and his Arashikage Ninja and is the most significant GI Joe story ever. This is an unprecedented look at the original art boards, featuring Larry Hama’s original layouts and Steve Leialoha’s finishes.

      <description><![CDATA[TJ 136 - Disavowed – G.I. Joe Frontline #9-10 “Family History” (Devils Due 2003)

Mark, Tim and Jay are talking G.I. Joe Frontline #9-10 in ongoing look at the “Disavowed” Devils Due era of G.I. Joe comics.

Questions asked; Is the artist the write choice for this particular story, how hold is Zanya actually supposed to be, are you only a real man if you drink from a fur edged beer tankard, who does the Dreadnok’s merchandise anyway AND MORE!

Mark also runs out of InnuenJoes but will he elicit a Titter from the guys as this feature gives its final death-throes. But the good news is it gives space for a brand new feature – to follow in an upcoming episode!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ian Kennedy & Art of Roboskull Mk II

Video available on Youtube: https://youtu.be/g437FURWKVc

Mark's worlds collided when his pal Ian Kennedy was commissioned to paint the illustration for the box art for the new a toy that reinvents the classic Roboskull - the iconic Red Shadow vehicle from his favourite toy line and comic! So of course he had to record a show about it.
Mark catches up with Head Skeletron Ben Conway, the evil genius behind the Roboskull MkII kickstarter, and British comic art legend Ian Kennedy to discuss the Roboskull  Box art.
We hear a little about Ian's career in comics and techniques as we explore the process from initial pitch, through rough sketches to the finished piece, with some exclusive behind the scenes prelim designs revealed along the way. Ben also springs a new request on Ian for the project!
As a bonus, we also look at some of Ian's other recent Action Force inspired commissions.

      <description><![CDATA[TJ 135 - Disavowed – G.I. Joe Frontline #5-8 “ICEBOUND” (Devils Due 2003)
Mark & Tim are talking G.I. Joe Frontline #5-8 “Icebound” in our ongoing look at the “Disavowed” Devils Due era. 
This week our special guest is non other than writer of this arc, Dan Jolley!

https://youtu.be/a5nOnPhH9AE

Dan started writing professionally at age 19 and has worked in comics for most of the major American publishers, such as DC (Firestorm), Marvel (Dr. Strange), Dark Horse (Aliens, branching out into licensed-property and film novelizations (Star Trek & Iron Man), and original novels, including the Middle Grade Urban Fantasy series Five Elements and the Urban Sci-Fi Gray Widow Trilogy. Dan started writing for video games in 2007, on  titles such as Transformers: War for Cybertron, Prototype 2, and Dying Light. He lives in northwest Georgia.

Questions asked include
-	What’s it like being the first writer of GI Joe comic that is not Larry Hama or Josh Blaylock
-	Are guns the same as flashlights?
-	What is “Checkov’s Pen”
-	What sort of influence was “The Thing” on this 
Plus we have the glorious return of the segment “Devils Due or Devils Poo?”

      <description><![CDATA[TJ 132 - Disavowed – G.I. Joe Frontline #1-4 “The Mission That Never Was” (Devils Due 2002)

YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/WGAhXVQn1P8

Mark, Tim and Jay are talking G.I. Joe Frontline #1-4 in the 12thof our “Disavowed” episodes that look at the Devils Due era.

This arc marks the comeback from Larry Hama to GI Joe after about 8 years away - and Tim cannot wait to discuss them because they are freaking fascinating.

Questions asked; How does a series pan out with an artist who likes to write page to page but is forced to map out an entire arc in advance, does the silent castle need an elevator. All this and more from the podcast which gave you Josh Blayock’s favourite ever interview!

Questions asked and answered in this episode include; what do we think of the reveal of Al Kawbra, what does his super-jumping ability mean, and what is it with shooting minions in the head.

      <title><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 129 - Disavowed Pt11 – G.I. Joe vs Transformers (Devils Due 2003)]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Mark, Tim and Jay are talking G.I. Joe vs Transformers (Devils Due 2003) in the 11th of our “Disavowed” episodes that look at the Devils Due era. This series coincides with writer Josh Blaylock’s run on the series concluding - are there parallels to be made with his work in the main series? 
Questions asked; Is a new universe a good idea? What do we think of the nuclear treat in the story? What makes a good Transformers crossover? Will Jay keep it together recording this show in between night shifts?
But most importantly can Mark make his co-hosts titter with a list of Transformers names in a special edition of Innuen-Joe.

      <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Mark, Tim and Jay are talking G.I. Joe vs Transformers (Devils Due 2003) in the 11th of our “Disavowed” episodes that look at the Devils Due era. This series coincides with writer Josh Blaylock’s run on the series concluding - are there parallels to be made with his work in the main series? 
Questions asked; Is a new universe a good idea? What do we think of the nuclear treat in the story? What makes a good Transformers crossover? Will Jay keep it together recording this show in between night shifts?
But most importantly can Mark make his co-hosts titter with a list of Transformers names in a special edition of Innuen-Joe.

      <description><![CDATA[Talking Joe episode 128 GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #283

Mark and Tim chat about issue of G.I. Joe ARAH # 283, released 16th June 2021, with the artist of the issue, Shannon “SL” Gallant. 

Questions asked and answered in this episode include; does mark remember to hit the record button, what sound effects does gunfire hitting an armoured table make, what is the origin of Zandar’s bandanna, how does Owen Wilson relate to this issue, and what is the deal with new Joes Multo and Black hat? 

Shannon previously joined Chief and SJubs back in episode 86 in August 2020 discussing the Death of Snake Eyes and snacks.

Shannon has pencilled more issues of GI Joe than any other artist (with over 100 issues across several series) of GI Joe -, Starting in 2009 on GI Joe Rise Of Cobra movie Prequel, followed by 9 issues of Chuck Dixon’s GI Joe run before starting a long run on IDW’s ARAH with issue 161 In Dec 2010, , lasting to 245 in 2017 where he took a break to the GI Joe vs Six Million dollar man limited series. He has returned for an issue 263 in 2017 and is back for this issue, 283.

      <description><![CDATA[Mark, Tim and Jay are talking Devils Due # 22-25 - a 4 parter called “The Last Stand” which (spoilers!) builds on issue 16 with the return of Serpentor!

It is an oversized Talking Joe Podcast episode for an oversized arc!

This is the Finale of the Josh Blaylock Era, but how does it stand up to scrutiny from the Talking joe team? We talk Green shirts, meaningful deaths, colouring, if Serpentor is a Star Trek fan and if there is too much (but also not enough) story. Plus Tim Creates his own jingle for Least Favourite Piece of Dialogue.

      <description><![CDATA[Talking Joe episode 126 GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #282 

Mark and Tim discuss the latest issue, released that very week. Tim dials in all the way from California with a squawking friend for company. Is that a picture of	Schrödinger's cat on Duke's mug? Does this issue feature the greatest letter ever printed? Where do our listeners listen to the Podcast? All these questions and more (and simultaneously less) are asked on the latest instalment from the  greatest GI Joe comics podcast.

"Murder by Assassination" Part 2! Murder, mystery, and mayhem continue as the newest JOE continues her investigation into Cobra chaos. Can she, with the help of some special friends, solve the mystery and the save the day before it's too late? The plot thickens as Living Legend Larry Hama and superstar artist Andrew Griffith (Transformers), continue their bombastic tale featuring the exciting new JOE team member-codename: SHERLOCK!

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 125 - Disavowed Pt 9 – G.I. Joe 20-21 “Closure” Devils Due 2003.

We are talking Devils Due Issues 20 & 21 , a 2 parter called “Closure” from 2003.

Mark is joined by “A Real American” Tim Finn and our Disavowed correspondent, G.I. Jay Cordray

The Devils Due episodes are fortnightly and will be sandwiched in-between the coverage of the present day ongoing IDW ARAH issues.

In this episode… We surprise ourselves how much we have to say about these issues - Thrasher in mufti, Scarlett chucking her ring, exploding mid air sword collisions, why dumpster placement is significant, everyone's 7th favourite Dreadnok, and more!

We are recording the Devils Due shows with a small buffer to give us time to edit with slightly less deadline pressure. This was recorded Sat 8th May. 

TALKING JOE 223 - Disavowed Pt 8 – G.I. Joe 17-19 “The Cabal” Devils Due 2003.

We discuss the Issues 17-19 - a 3 parter called “The Cabal” from 2003.

The Devils Due episodes are fortnightly and will be sandwiched in-between the coverage of the present day ongoing IDW ARAH issues.

In this episode… we look at Brandon Badeaux’s art – do we like it as much as his previous issues? We look at the crowded cast of Joes, Destro, Cobra, Oktober Guard and Mafia, oh my! And Jay Talks Lady Jaye toys. All this and the throbbing feature Inuenjoe continues]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[TALKING JOE 221 - Disavowed Pt 7
We discuss  the #16 one part story “the family” from Devil’s Due/ Image in 2003.

Mark is joined by “A Real American” Tim Finn and our Disavowed correspondent, G.I. Jay Cordray

The Devils Due episodes are fortnightly and will be sandwiched in-between the coverage of the present day ongoing IDW ARAH issues.

In this episode… we look at Tim Seeley’s initial outing as an artist, we wonder if Spirit is being a bit inappropriate towards Cover Girl, and the mystery of Julius, Alexander and Hannibal. Can we get through an episode without Tim triggering the nit-picker jingle? And Jay Talks more toys. All this and the thrilling extension of Inuenjoe continues.

      <description><![CDATA[Mark And Tm discuss ARAH 279 with the artist of the book, Alex Sanchez!

Alex “Ironhed” Sanchez is a comcs artist based in NYC. He has recently been working on work on Pademica for IDW, and previous works have included Battlestar Galactica for Dynamite, Katana and JSA classified for DC comics, Star Wars the Old Republic for Dark Horse. He is also a cos host on the Infinity Equation podcast, a toy enthusiast, and has worked on toy projects of his own, including working with Jason Egitto on 1/6 toy projects (5 Faces of Freddy Kruger Set)

But most importantly for us, he was the artist on GI Joe 251, Special Missions,” Part 1  a Stalker spotlight issue and artist (that’s a triple threat of pencils, inks and colours) on the book we are talking about today, GI Joe issue 279 untold tales part 4

"Untold Tales" Part 4! Cobra has plans to unleash hellacious herhavoc from the Terror Drome, so it's up to Ace, Slip Stream, and other brave JOE air warriors to unleash justice from the skies and stop the imminent destruction from the 'drome before it's too late! Your pilot for this flight will be Living Legend Larry Hama, assisted by his intrepid co-pilot, artist Alex Sanchez

In this episode, we look at the one shot issue 5 with a guest artist, and discuss how well Duke, James Bond style super-spy works before moving on to the ”Order of Battle” – esque Battlefiles and pick out some highlights (and lowlights). It’s the final part of Mark’s quiz – “Devils True or Devils Poo?”, another featured toy from Jay and Tim picks another piece of  Joe Merchandise from his collection. The Inuen-joe giggle challenge continues to doe severe psychological damage to Tim. We ask the big questions, like “ho can Bryan Hitch pull of his Ultimates costume redesigns when other artists struggle” and “will Mark be able to finish recording the podcast before he is killed by his wife for being late for dinner?”. All this and more interrupting moggies in the latest thrilling instalment! podcast

      <description><![CDATA[It's the all new 91st episode of the only G.I. Joe podcast that has the audacity to play a 90 second jingle mid episode! With S-Jubbs taking a leave of absence, we welcome Mark into the studio. How long will he last?

Comic-wise, on deck are issue 226-229 and apparently Cobra is Rising! Snake Eyes gets a newish look, Joe intelligence is spotty, bombs get struck and a new era Dawns.

All this plus a Bechdel test, vintage toys, Mandalorian talk and a question for the listeners!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It's the naughty but nice 90th episode of the only G.I. Joe podcast where a man almost gets punched on the beach! The fellas round out the Cobra World Order story line with ARAH issues 223-225. Shoulder wounds are a premium, Dice has a clown mask, 3 Freds is all you need and don't forgot your nano tech auto compensator wrist rockets!

Elsewhere, snacks get munched for the last time, confusion comes to an end, toys are talked about and the guys discuss what real world vehicle they wanted to be made into a Joe toy! 

The big news though is that with this episode, longtime co-host, Stephen 'S-Jubbs' Jubber takes a bow and departs the show for warmer climes. Don't worry though as we have a new co-host making his entrance next week. Talking Joe, the show that just can't be stopped!]]></description>

The fellas are digging into issues 205 & 206 of ARAH and Oliestan action takes center stage. Can the Joes get Dr Burkhart out safely and why is Clutch operating the drone? In 206, Snake Eyes lays the smack down on some robbers, Sean Collins makes a reappearance and 'there's an eyeball in my secret base!'

Elsewhere, Chief builds sand castles, snacks get eaten, Steve watches Star Trek and you the listeners tell us who you want to see in a buddy-up movie!

Then in 192, CC plots and plans, a man goes shirtless (and it's not Steve), Destro plots and plans, there's a hole in the P.I.T. and Demon Granny pops up with a cryptic message as if she was Morpheus from The Matrix!

Elsewhere, the fellas talk toys, Steve pops his seaweed cherry and tag teams with Dr Kim while Chief tries to fill his loft with Scalextric slot car track! Then the guys chat about Star Wars bounty hunters. The Boba love is for real!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[40 is the new 30...we think. Anyway, it's the 40th episode of the internet's favourite podcast with the initials TJ. Chief and Chris are hot dogging it through issues 112-115 and the body count rises! If you like Battleforce 2000, Sneekpeak or that new chump Coolbreeze, sorry about your damn luck! Uh, spoilers I guess. Elsewhere, we find out if armour tops infantry, whether Chris knows his X-comics and Chief declares he wants out of modern gaming in favour of some retro coolness. It can only be Talking Joe!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Episode 24 of Talking Joe has landed. Yeah that's right, we've hit the two dozen mark. A double dirty dozen if you will. And to celebrate, Chief and Ben are smashing into issues 69-71 and Special Missions 8. Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to Sierra Gordo we go. The Joes seem to spend a lot of time here and in this story, political hi-jinks take centre stage as revolutionaries, counter revolutionaries and a new golded up Destro all play a part. Things are a bit more straight forward in Spec Missions 8 in what could be the best issue of the series yet! The boys also have the usual assortment of 'Inside Chief's Mind', 'Chief asks Ben a Question' and the now infamous Game of Thrones rap!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This week, in the words of Paul Hardcastle, the boys are ni-ni-ni 19, 19, ni-19 19 (episodes deep). Chief and Ben smash into issues 54-56 and Yearbook 3 and are treated to some classic Joe action. Masks come off as Snake Eyes becomes Flint and Destro and the King Cobra get into some good gear and prove they are true fashion icons! Serpentor shows a new financial side to his leadership and terror dromes are on the menu. We also get a cracking wordless story in the vein of the classic 'silent issue'. If you also want banter, we've got you covered. Chief asks Ben another GoT question (with new jingle no less!) and we hope you like retro gaming as there's a heavy dose of Sega & Nintendo chat.]]></description>
