15 days of GI Joe!! Day 1

In 15 short days, the greatest movie of all time comes out!!! Yes, I'm talking about GI Joe: Retaliation. For the next 2 weeks, I'll be counting down to the release of the movie by spotlighting many different aspects of the GI Joe brand. To start things off, today we take a look at possibly the 2 most bad-ass characters in the Joe universe. No, not Chuckles.I'm talking about Storm Shadow & the ORIGINAL GI Joe-Joe Colton!!







Now you know JUST how awesome these 2 guys are. And knowing is half the battle.

Comics You Should Buy-2/6/13

A decent sized week this week. Not as big as the previous weeks, but there's still some REALLY good stuff out. Let's take a look:

GI Joe: A Real American Hero #187: I can't begin to tell you how much I love this book. 25 years after this story "ended", it's continuing and is as fun, action packed and relevant today as it was back then. Plus-NINJAS!!

Fearless Defenders #1: This series gets off to a slow-ish start, but there's some really great dialouge and some FANTASTIC art by Will Sliney. This book is only going to get better!

Earth 2 #9: Just a great, fun super hero book.

All New X-Men #7: A lot of people are less than thrilled with the art change, but, the story is still incredibly good.

Superior Spider-Man #3: Another great issue. This is the most interesting Spider-Man has been in years.

Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow #21: The end of an era for GI Joe. This wraps up the Dixon/Atkins era of GI Joe. Don't be upset, next month-a brand new fresh start!!

Green Arrow #17: BOOK OF THE WEEK!!! Brand new creative team,writer JEFF LEMIRE and artist ANDREA SORRENTINO take over this title and spin it in a brand new direction!!! If you haven't read Green Arrow before, this is the PERFECT place to jump on!!

Well, there you go. There's PLENTY of other comics out this week, but these are just a few that I think you'll really enjoy. As always, if you're in Chicago, come visit Challengers Comics and see me! Seriously, I mean it!!

The List-December 19, 2012

What a HUGE week for comics!!!! It's almost like 2 weeks combined into one, because almost NOTHING is shipping next week on the 26th(except the all ready spoiled Amazing Spider-Man #700). Anyway, here's just a FEW of the comics that I recommend picking up this week:

All New X-Men #4-I never imagined in a million years that this book would be as good as it has been.

Bionic Woman #6-THIS BOOK IS WAY BETTER THAN IT SHOULD BE!!!!

Avengers #2-A whole shit ton of people show up!!!! And it's awesome!!!

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #5-He-Man VERSUS Battle Cat!!!!!

Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow #20-THINGS ARE HEATING UP as the series is winding down!!

MacGyver: The Fugitive Gauntlet #3-I love this series so much!!!Buy it. Read it. Repeat. 

-There you have it!! Again, LOTS of great stuff to buy this week and isn't it a perfect time to buy a pile of comics and read them? A lot of you will be traveling, and that's the perfect time to read and not have to make awkward conversation with the weird person next to you! If you're in Chicago, I'll see you tomorrow at Challengers!!!

And knowing is half the battle!!

Here's the trailer that I was looking MOST forward to during tomorrow's Super Bowl, and like Land of the Lost, it got put up online early. The only one left for me is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen(C'mon Paramount!). Anyway, here's the trailer I've been waiting for since 1982:

-WOW!!! It's all I wanted and more! The "Power Ranger"suits don't bother me AT ALL. Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow look OUTRAGEOUS!....as they should and at this point I'd watch the Baroness read the phone book for 90 minutes. REALLY impressed and REALLY happy! YO JOE!

Now I know MORE!

One more poster was added this afternoon-STORM SHADOW!!!
