I wish I wasn't at work... I wanted to watch it on keyhole. Oh well hopefully a good raw will await me when I get home this evening.

Dakara ankooru Setsunasa datte, Mune ni ankooru Bane ni shichau wa Kizutsuitemo Norikoenagara Miryoku wo atsumeru no Haato no oku Migaki wo kakete Aserazu ni "try again...!"

So I finally got caught up on my Devils Due stuff... M&A II, All the Transformer crossovers (I really dig that continuity) and of course I picked up America's elite where I left off... from issue 12... wow I shouldn't have left off there everything from 13 to 30 (last issue I read, I will pick up the last 6 issues tomorrow... is 36 out yet?) was pure gold. It's not just some of the best GI joe writing ever, it's some of the best comic wirting I've ever read. wow, double wow!

More Teaser posters in this hisstank thread. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12268

let's put all of Hawks codenames together! General Clayton "Tomohawk GI Joe Hawk" Abernathy.... how's that for long to type?

I didn't expect you to litterally count... But I think it's a rights issue probably. Same reason why it's Nemesis the Immortal, Spirit Iron Knife, G.I. Joe Hawk etc etc etc... but he was always a Lt. and he was called by his rank much more often then other characters like Duke (how come Lt. Falcon kept getting bossed around by two Sgts anyway). The cartoon was all downhill from the movie anyway, I mean the DiC episodes were just gross. But yes the intro is the best part of the GI Joe movie...

Umm... he was always Lt. Falcon... even in the movie... count the number of times he was addressed by rank.

Except he never became supreme commander of GI Joe and Rodimus never became addicted to drugs.

Define "better", the Storm Shadow/Firefly comic was just a serious of witty comebacks that felt like they belonged in an issue of Cable and Deadpool... and the Shipwreck/Leatherneck comic was totally pointless (havn't picked up Duke/Redstar yet)... I prefer the "inbetween the pages of the marvel comics" comics that actually add something new (granted the Firefly/Storm Shadow did but only a few panels of import)... Though in terms of artwork these ones blow the other exclusive comics away.

http://www.etonline.com/news/2008/06/62841/index.html George Carlin was a comedic genius who often pushed the envelope. He was also a huge part of my childhood as the second "Mr. Conductor" on Shinning Time Station (The only one I was familiar with), and as Rufus from Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure (one of my favorite movies as a kid). He will be missed.

Umm Nemesis does have bat wings... look at the package closer. And I dunno how much Larry likes having to right an original comic about Cobra-la characters. ^^;

M and A II I still haven't read... but how soon after could it be? I mean we see that Storm Shadow was still with Cobra in the early 30s when Cobra was preparing to attack Serpentor's forces... Storm Shadow says he's too tired emotionally and physically to participate in the attack. So it would have to be after that point correct?

She also sends letters to 100th birthday people in Canada. Anyway you're wrong it should be. Alien Vs Predator Vs Robocop Vs Terminator Vs GI Joe Vs The Transformers Vs Superman Vs Batman Vs Spy Vs Spy

Don't forget that Macross Nald's survived as well (so did McDonalds if we believe Macross DYRL). But while we're on that topic I wonder about other major companies, I assume Budwiser survives since they had product placement in the major motion picture DYRL, though what weird product placement it was...

I'm sorry, there's character blogs somewhere??? That sounds like a fun way to practice my Japanese... link?

Sure why not? In the comics Banner/Hulk have had a few different personalities over the years...

Yes I know, I read most of the marvel run and all of the DDP run up until the Snake-eyes as a Red Ninja/Sei Tin in another body story-arc. And of the Marvel stuff I read that did include all of the "Starring Snake-eyes and the Ninja Force/Starring Snake Eyes and Transformers Generation 2" stuff... I'm still slightly confused on the comic, but near as I can figure it must take place after the coil arc, and after Storm Shadow breaks free of Cobra Commanders control completely but before America's elite... since he's calling in favors from the Joes but not being a part of the actual team and since Slice and Dice are hunting Firefly (Firefly was working with the "The Coil" so that would be why Slice and Dice were hunting him). Likewise it likely would have to take place either before Duke, Snake-eyes and Scarlett became fugitives (Duke for blackmailing the Jugglers, Snake and Scarlett for their place in an operation where Cobra destroyed a whole city and made it look like the Joes did it), since Storm Shadow was free of mind control at that point (he helped everyone escape) and past that point until the end of the "Red Shadows" arc there would have been no way for him to offer assistance. It could alternately be in between RAH and America's Elite, when the GI Joe team was inactive and before Storm Shadow was a member again, but I doubt it. I wouldn't care if it was like the Shipwreck/Copperhead comic... cause that comic is just a total stand-alone story and isn't even that good... but the Storm Shadow/Firefly one is kind of important since it tells us,

yes カムジン　is the Katakana spelling... and I feel more comfortable with direct romanizations rather then the weird spellings from model kits and the like... I can't remember how to spell that or Vlrtwai or whatever it is.

Is this Kamujin's clone brother? Nyan Nyan CM Kai is awesome!

so opened up my hiss tank... My joes are in trouble now... they are outmanned and outgunned. Picked up two comic packs today Storm Shadow and Firefly and Shipwreck and Copperhead All four of those figures have something to love. When I first looked at it in the pack, I wasn't fond of Tommy A's shirtless look but he's just so cool with his claw and such. Firefly has a wicked paintjob and the BEST BACKPACK ever... being a toolbox that opens up with everything he needs to sabotage things and plant bombs... with removable wrench (I think that's what it is) and flashlight. Copperhead is ace for having a clip cover for his holster and the proper hand grips to actually hold an assault rifle properly. and I just like shipwreck's grappling hook. So I'm confused on when the Stormshadow/Firefly comic is supposed to take place, the card and base read Storm Shadow as a cobra, but he's calling in favors from Snake-eyes and the Joes... and he fights Slice and Dice, who didn't show up until well after Storm Shadow left cobra IIRC. Anyway much coolness.

Yeah, I infact did see the movie on TV some time ago... I just couldn't remember if it came first or if Duke Nukem did (I'm not a fan of those games).

Not quite... the reason why Big West and Studio Nue gave Tatsunoko the international rights to Macross was because it was costing Tatsunoko more then projected to make the series and the rights were given the compensate for them having to go over budget. Tatsunoko's subsequent dealings with Harmony Gold are another matter.

That's the one... it's basically Duke Nukem the movie... or is that the other way around?

Update on American Card GI Joes in Canada, my friend has started to get his shipments in and compared to everyone at WEM he's charging way less... 10.99 for individual figs and 16.99 for Comic packs... as I said he's going to be selling me the waves by the box... then I might pick up some extra army builder figures too... I love having a friend who owns a hobby store, and it's even better that he's as much if not more of a GI Joe fan then I am. Yo Joe! Anyone in Edmonton, let Paul at All Star Sports cards in Edmonton know you want American GI Joe figures and he'll hook you up. I bought a target exclusive Hisstank at WEM today too, but it turns out I over payed. *grumble*

Were you bidding on the signed one? or the 85 gradded unsigned one? If it's the latter you were bidding against me... *grumbles* edit: never mind the one I was bidding on is still up. *but now too expensive for me* Anyway Congrats.
