Comic Book Resources has a great interview with Cobra, now Cobra Files writer Mike Costa about the upcoming relaunch of the book. Here was my favorite part :
“Never let it be said that things can’t get worse for the heroes in a book with “Cobra” on the title. Because if there’s one thing all my ex-girlfriends will tell you I’m good at, it’s crushing all hope.”

So I have been on a comic buying streak lately. I picked up the Dead Pool comic, with the homage to GI Joe #21. But more related to Joe are these mini comics that I got as part of a giant collection I bought awhile back. I did not know much about them, but after some digging discovered they were included packed with Battle Corps 1992 figures.
There are 4 comics: Desert Dustup, Jungle Fury, Mountain Trouble, and Hijacked Heroes. I got all but, Mountain Trouble from this collection. So I went searching for the comic, and when I found them, they were priced really high, at least to me, at $30-50. That is when I stumbled upon an eBay auction for one with a MOC figure. Before that, I did not know how they were distributed. After a couple quick eBay searches I narrowed down the year (1992) and the specific line that they were packaged with (Battle Corps). I also discovered that the prices for the MOC figure including the comic were just $10-20. So, I picked up 5 MOC figures, one of each comic and then a second Mountain Trouble, so I can read it.
So for anyone looking to have “all” the comics and desperately needs these mini comics, go on eBay and search for ’92 Battle Corps MOC figures and they will all pop-up. Maybe not a Mountain Trouble at the moment, since I bought 2.
I also picked up two more one of a kind sketch covers of GI Joe Infestation by Xermanico. And, I’ve got two more of these on the way. I bought out all of IDW Limited’s stock!
I recently picked up a GI Joe Hearts and Minds #1 signed by Max Brooks, and the art of Scott Campbell GI Joe pin-up book signed by Campbell. I also grabbed the #1 RE New Dimension Comics exclusive cover.
IDW Editor in Chief Chris Ryall released this first look of the wrap around cover for GI Joe #1 available in March.
Hey guys, non-Joe posts will be few and far between, and I felt like a could make an exception with this one. Tonight at midnight I’m going to see the first part of the Hobbit trilogy! And to make this somewhat related to GI Joe, I snagged the Hobbit graphic novels on eBay yesterday, which were adapted by Chuck Dixon who is IDW’s mainline GI Joe writer (soon to be writing Special Missions in February). The books look great and I can’t wait to read them. They are first editions and came out in 1989 and 1990.
