Mayhem Customs member Darkwise hits us with another Cobra soldier from the ranks of his Domininon: City-Breaker customs.
“These CG’s are not your ordinary Freds. No, each of them is an individual who tested out, or was thrown out of the CG program prior to reconstructive surgery, due to high marks, but overly aggressive means and methods. When these Guardsmen hit the battle, the streets are sure to run thick in crimson violence.”

PitViper steps into the Player’s Club and gives his perspective on G.I. Joe, Retaliation!
First and foremost, Retaliation is a tremendous leap forwards from Rise of Cobra. ROC, to me, is just a dumpster fire from beginning to end. While Retaliation may not be the greatest movie in the history of film, it’s a damn fun movie with a lot to offer a hardcore Joe fan that isn’t your typical angry fanboy that’s going to bitch because Cobra Commander’s underwear are different in this than they were on his original figure 30 years ago.
Speaking of Cobra Commander…
OG13 member, Pisstank, has written up a review of his impression of the new G.I. Joe Retaliation film. Be warned, there are SPOILERS within!! Do not click through if you are hoping to be surprised by the movie.
From Pisstank:
Not writing this as a spoiler kinda thing, just writing what I liked and didn’t like. If a “spoiler” is included to make one of my points, then so be it. Don’t read if you don’t want to know, I don’t want to dance on eggshells here.
Overall, the movie was…

Thanks to the guys over at CBM (ComicBookMovie.com), we have an extended preview of the Silent Interlude scene in the upcoming movie, which to me is worth the price of admission alone!
This popped up on CBM this morning. I don’t know what is really new about it as it still shows the same confrontation between our Favorite Ninjas, but hey more free promotion is always good!
