Well, a slight medical issue delayed the progress on my dio a bit, but Episode 6 of Ghosts is now online!

Also, Self-Modifier, who has crafted a very fun G.I. Joe/Transformers story (originally hosted on JoeDios) has begun progress on the final part of his trilogy! It's also up in the G.I. Joe and the Transformers section. Make sure to check the recap (or just read the past installments) to get caught up. It's an awesome story with some pretty seamless special effects and awesome Joe and Transformers action.

Enjoy!

Great as always. Seeing all the background details in each shot really puts the great storytelling over the top. I especially like seeing the rusted leg screw on the Eel, hehe, that makes it authentic. :-D

Oh , when will you learn?

A great update as usual. I'm totally psyched for the next one.

Yea! Finally got some sitdown time.

What a tease!

I smell something brewing......something big.

Excellent teasing there Justin.

Very good chapter, Justin. I have a few questions.

1) Is Hit & Run's hair gray due to stress or just to distinguish him from Tracker?

2) Did Lt. Falcon check in with Psyche-Out, or was Beach-Head's recommendation enough for Falcon?

3) Who is the Joe in the camoflauge body paint (in the background, not Hit & Run) being briefed by Lt. Falcon? Is it Grunt?

Looking forward to the next installment.

Blitzkrieg

Great stuff as usual.

One minor critique, based partly on what Blitzkrieg just asked:

Any time you use a figure that is custom in any way, you need to have someone immediately call him by name. Don't assume that everyone recognizes your customs.

I THOUGHT that was Hit & Run when he first appeared, but I wasn't sure because of the gray hair. And Falcon just called him "soldier" and "son," so I wasn't completely sure until the vague references to what he'd been through.

Same thing with the Cobra guy. Is that Razorclaw? With different arms, I can't be sure. And no one called him by name. (And if it IS Razorclaw, aren't his blades surgically attached? Otherwise, how could they be held in place on his arms?)

I have to agree on the Hit and Run thing, I wasn't sure either, other than that a fine chapter.

Hey, guys, thanks a ton for your feedback!

Hit & Run appears pretty much as he has appeared throughout my dio-story...I've always used the Tracker head and arms, but you guys are right, it's been a long time since he appeared that way (in Retaliation) so I will absolutely be better about identifying those guys as they appear.

Tim, in my world, Razorclaw's gloves are grafted through his sleeves by circuitry and steel reinforcements. That's probably something I should explain, too... :shifty:

Blitz, yeah Falcon did check with Psyche Out and got clearance on Hit & Run's mental state, just didn't know if everyone needed to see that phone conversation.

Grunt is the guy you're thinking of, yeah.

Thanks again, guys, love the constructive criticism, it helps a lot.

Justin
