Show notes

Its Cobra Convergence 7! And Mark and Tim were interviewed by HCC788 AKA Bryan Stephen. It's a non numbered episode as we are just doing a bit of self-indulgent navel gazing talking about ourselves and the podcast. The YouTube version is here: https://youtu.be/l9xO36Gf30w But its all chat, so the audio only version is just as good! Find out more about CC7 here: https://hcc788.com/ Our CC7 episode on Spy Hunter & Paper Boy came out last week and is available here https://youtu.be/2w5bEAg5ES4

Talking Joe 209 - Spy Hunter & Paper Boy review - For Cobra Convergence 7 - The Best Hama Joe comic you've never heard of! Jul 06, 2023

Talking Joe 209 - Spy Hunter & Paper Boy review - For Cobra Convergence 7 - The Best Hama Joe comic you've never heard of! Its the annual fan Cobra Convergence 7 where across the month Joe fan creators share new content! And the loose theme this year is spies, so what better tie in than to look at an unknown but GREAT comic from GI Joe Legend Larry Hama with the name SPYHUNTER in the tittle! Find out more about CC7 here: https://hcc788.com/ In this episode of next episode Mark and Tim are talking about what I am calling Larry Hama’s best GI Joe comic that you have never heard of, Spy Hunter & Paper Boy, released May 2021. (Even if technically speaking it isn't GI Joe). Released May 2021, Spy Hunter & Paper Boy #1-6 (DC, $3.99 each): a "digital first" (but in reality digital only) comic arriving on DC’s digital first channels including ComiXology, with all six issues released on the same day You can find the issues digitally on Amazon (formerly comiXology) link https://t.co/e4xMWUOT2x You can also find the issue in other places if you were to Google "spyhunter paperboy viewcomic" The series is written by Larry Hama with art by Mac Rey, and letters by Pat Brosseau and it features a crossover between two old video game franchises, Spy Hunter and Paper Boy. There are very few details publicly available about the book - all 6 issues were quietly released as "Digital first" in May 2021 without any sort of fanfare or publicity by DC. There was really nothing in the comic itself that explained what the series was or why it existed and never had a print release. This is some of the best GI Joe like work by Hama since his prime in the 80s at Marvel with some stunning art. You can read the series and listen or listen and then read it or just listen, whatever!. There are a few spoilers but we've tried not to go too heavy on details of plot. Mac Rey (artist) - Arkansas resident, Mathew “Mac Rey” Reynolds started out in comics back in the early days of Malibu on books like AIRMAN and THE PROTECTORS, more recently he has worked on THE MERCENARY SEA from Image Comics. And “The RUFF and REDDY SHOW” from DC comics. After working on a creator-owned project called VIC FALCON with G.I. JOE writer Larry Hama, they went on to work together on Spy Hunter & Paper Boy. Spy Hunter: a vehicular combat action game developed by Bally Midway and released for arcades in 1983. The object of the game is to drive down roads in the technologically advanced the fictitious G-6155 Interceptor car and destroy various enemy vehicles with a variety of onboard weapons. Paperboy is an arcade action game developed and published by Atari Games and Midway Games, and released in 1985. The player takes the role of a paperboy who delivers a fictional newspaper called The Daily Sun along a suburban street on his bicycle. The game was ported to many home systems beginning in 1986.

Talking Joe Ep 208 Void Arrival - Void Rivals #1 review Skybound June 2023 with guest Josh Eggebeen This episode was recorded with video so it is relatively visual - particularly on the cover gallery section. The YouTube link is here https://youtu.be/snu2AMOZjq4 However it should still work as audio only. If you are listening audio only let me know what you think. Mark and Tim talk about Void rivals #1 released 14 June 2023 . It’s the launchpad of the Hasbro Energon Universe at the new home of GI Joe, Skybound!
