Blood for the Baron!

Not sure how I feel about this, but in Revolutionaries #7 and First Strike #1... Baron Ironblood is revealed to be no other than G.I. Joe (Joe Colton), the founder of the G.I. JOE team! I guess he feels that our planet is being threatened by giant aliens everywhere (Transformers) and he feels that ...

The next IDW/Hasbro crossover , FIRST STRIKE ! , deals with a newly revived Cobra. On the day that that Earth is to join up with the Cybertronian Council of Worlds. The event is interrupted when an explosion wrecks the proceedings. An event orchestrated Cobra, and its new commander, this guy ...

Slight correction: the Red Shadows / Red Ninjas technically made their first appearance in Action Man #4. (I just reread it.)

Eh. It's been 20 years and ...

First, we see the shadow of the Black Major on the cover of the comic...
Next, we watch as Bombstrike outwits the Red Shadows that have captured her. As she attempts escape, she is discovered by a lone Red Shadow trooper with a gun... (Note: Hama's Shads are a lot less brainwashed and more prone to ...

Seems the Black Major has a thing for the country of Olliestan. (Think "Pakistan") He's still overseeing the production of robots and giant mech there, despite the last disaster (which resulted in Snake-Eyes' death). He shows up to thwart Bombstrike's investigation into what is going on in the ...

Action Man #2 came out. A.M. (Ian, the new "Action Man") is on the trail of Dr. X. Also, a teaser on the last 4 pages for the new "Revolution" cross-universe reveals that Joe Colton was friends with the original Action Man. Pretty cool! (This is, of course, not the Hama "RAF" universe, but the ...
