I actually like him, although, I thought he was supposed to be more lean than buff, but oh well.

Hey, at least he's not as buff as that Chuckles from a while back. How're you supposed to be undercover with rippling biceps tearing through your shirt while you dual-wield oversized weapons with a holster on your chest?

Numbers, the comic, is, AWESOME!!!!!! I need a copy of your sig; you and I are probably the only two who know where that pose comes from.

By the way, Chuckles is my man, ain't our fault we got a life time pass to the gun show.

Chuckles is money, don't get me wrong, I just thought that exclusive figure was kinda weird, is all.

I knew you'd dig the comic! Sure, let me know what you want in the sig and I'll be glad to make one for you. I nearly broke my Bazooka figure trying to get his back into that pose. I popped off his head and reattached it with blue-sticky-tack to get a bit more motion out of it. I love that stuff. It works wonders, almost like it's a kind of magic.

Brilliant episode, Numbers. Great usage of the Queen tunes.

And you dropped a Queen title in a sentence. If you were a woman I'd fly to Montreal to marry you and make you sire my children. We'd have dozens that way our spawn would grow to legion in a generation. But I digress. Really all I need in the sig is the quote with out the reference to chapter 4 of gaga. I definitely want the code to link to your site. I'll never be able to look at Bazooka the same way again.

Does anybody read the IDW joe stuff? DO you like it? I seem to be buying it more out of habit than like lately. According to my comic shop dude, I'm one of the few who buys it in the store. I guess there is a new writer coming on that may or may not make a difference to some.

I haven't regularly bought a comic since 1993. Since comics today are written for the TPB format I don't see a point. I will be going for Ham's new series since the old Marvel run is what I'm reading now.

You got it. All I can offer you is an internet high-five for now. And that sig image, which is coming right up. I'll PM you!

I find the IDW books to be hit and miss. The regular series doesn't really interest me. The origins book is up and down, starting interesting but falling, that said I did enjoy the 2 issues for Ripcord.

That said the Cobra series is decent and I've enjoyed even thou they have been doing the same character reinventing that I've detested in their Transformers books.

The return of the ARAH line next month is going to be a lot more interesting than their current series for a lot of readers, and it will be interesting to see how they develop all three universes at the same time (IDW, ROC, and ARAH)

I'm glad to see a ARAH return but I'm disappointed that they will disregard the Devil's Due series, which had some great stories.

Really? I don't know, a lot of Devil's Due's stuff felt like bad fan fiction. Some of it was ok, but I didn't like a lot of what I read.

I admit that I never read any of the IDW issues but I have read synopses and agree they came off as bad fan fiction. Then again I think most TF comics are like that too.

I'm still digging GI Joe: Cobra.

Other than that, I checked out that Origins issue featuring the Baroness which was amazing.

Just thought I'd throw it out there, Joecon is Thursday me thinks. Not expecting much though.

Cobra Commander's going via boat:

I think we need to do a con just for ourselves. We all get together with like a gallon of Hagen Daz butter pecan and have an all night gab fest. OMG, OMG, OMG; MAKEOVERS! This will be so much fun!!! Ok, ok let's pick a date and get to it.

Today I read 155.5 and saw a bunch of JoeCon images. Things're looking up!

The big thing for me from Joe Con is the TRU exclusive Spirit that looks EXACTLY like "Billy" from Predator. I do love that they're promoting a toy line that's a year and a half away. Oh, and were getting a Low-Light; yay.

Not only that, but look at that Duke's weapon. Look familiar? How about the gun Destro has on the ground near him? I think I might have to get a Revoltech Alien and one of those Sigourney Weaver figures on liquidation after all!

No I missed it. The only Duke I saw was the POC Duke. Also Recondo is supposed to be Jesse Ventura's character but he doesn't come with his chain gun.

Perhaps I'm just seeing things, but it looks sorta Pulse Rifleish to me.

I'm not that familiar with the Alien franchise so I can't tell ya for sure. Looks good though.

155.5 wasn't bad, and good to see Billy in action again, but they have a lot of work to kill the DD run.

Looking over the joecon stuff, is it me, or is over half of this stuff what we saw last year? That said I'm glad to see Shadow Tracker is back on the release list and that Spirit is nifty.

But i'm liking the Lowlight and that Cobra Shock Trooper, I may need to build a SWAT team.

Well over half the stuff. The only thing new are release dates, exclusives, and accessories. Anybody see that NEW line called Omega Squad?

Is that a Resolute thing? Didn't they call Resolute "Omega Force" way back before we knew anything about it?

No because it's not made by Hasbro. These are completely new figures done in the O-ring style with modern touches. Apparently they have a cartoon lined up and everything. Speaking of Resolute according to pics Zartan will have his grenade launcher/pistol.
