This is Comic Geekspeak episode 1589.

Book of the Month, G.I.J.J. Real American Hero, Volume 1.

I'm Adam Murdo. I'm Shane Kelly.

I'm Matt.

And I'm Chris Eberley.

And welcome to the show.

The soothing sounds of orchestrated music.

As we're about to discuss the militaristic counterterrorism adventures of little plastic soldiers in Marvel's GI Joe.

Gojo.

See, whenever I hear that music, I want us all to be wearing, you know, like cardigans or smoking jackets, ascots and have pipes in our mouths.

I do have a sweater vest on tonight. We actually are wearing necress. If you'd be here, you would see. Oh. Well, that was... That was twist the knife there, Matt. I got to make us some lost time. Well, we're our honor that Matt is joining us in the studio. It's been quite a while. Yeah. Excellent, sir. I don't know if it's an honor for you guys, but... It's an honor. Oh, it's very much an honor. You're kidding me? We need your intel on this series. In fact, I should tell people before we go to our sponsor that check out episode 1241 when we did a spotlight on the entire G.I GI Joe comic and the history behind it.

So that'll be a nice companion piece to what we're going to record today.

There you go.

I was telling Matt to adjust his mic.

His coat covered about mic adjustment there.
