TALKING JOE 193 - wishlist for the new GI Joe publisher with guests Jason and Bryan Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

What is our wishlist from the new GI Joe publisher? Mark and Tim Finn are joined by Jason Murrell (Order of Battle) and Bryan Mitchell ("A Real American Bryan") We speculating on future plans for the GI Joe comic at the new publisher, asking 2 key questions- What would we want to see from the Larry Hama written book for 301 and beyond? AND What would welike to see from the new (as yet not officially announced) publisher, beyond the Hama ARAH book? This was originally a YouTube livestream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izOKKxjFjFY recorded 4th Feb 2023 (before a new publisher has been confirmed). This is audio only - it is much more heavily edited (removing erms pauses etc) and has better audio quality. The video has us on Camera - but it isn't image heavy so you're not missing out by going audio only route.

TALKING JOE 192 - TIM SEELEY INTERVIEW - G.I. Joe Devils Due artist Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

Mark and Tim continue our look at the Disavowed era with G.I. Joe with an interview with special guest Tim Seeley We never take it easy on the comics when we are doing our reviews (I like to think we keep it to objective criticism - either gushing praise or unfair scorn) but I have a genuine affection for Tim Seeley's art run on GI Joe and it was great to get to talk to him about his time working on GI Joe with Devil's Due. Tim Seeley is an American comic book creator with many credits to his name, which includes writing on books such as Grayson and Batman Eternal, as the co-creator co-creator of the Image Comics titles Hack/Slash , but most importantly as a creator synonymous with the Devils Due Era of GI Joe; most significantly Pencilling most of issue 23-43, and writing the issues of Frontline, Special Missions and the 3rd and 4th Transformers crossovers., and more besides. We talk about Starting at Devils Due & recommending Steve Kurth as artist Bullpen environment of Devils Due A memorable encounter with Larry Hama Moving from Drawing to both writing and drawing The end of his run with issue 43 & launch of Americas elite GI Joe vs Transformers Working with Robert Kirkman back in early 200s - Snake Eyes on the moon! and more besides! This episode will be available as both audio only (more tightly edited) and video (3 talking heads with some extra images to illustrate talking points). My preference would be the audio only which gets rid of al the erms etc.
