 Order of Battle Podcast episode 130 At Assembly Required 2024, in Des Moines, Iowa, Jason and Josh Blaylock sat down to chat Disavowed. Their conversation went from GIJoe to the comics industry to the 80s and 90s and beyond. But they also focused on Josh’s latest Secret Paramilitary project, Disavowed.  Disavowed has a lot of meaning for GIJoe fans, secret government agency fandoms, and for Josh specifically and he’s taking ownership of it in a huge way. He’s creating not just an homage, but a whole vibe of the late 80’s, early 90’s and today with his decades jumping tale of United Five and their secret missions around the world.  Break out your old Betamaxx tapes, beepers, and British Knight pump high tops, grab your bowl of Booberry cereal and get ready for Disavowed.  https://massivepublishing.com/collections/the-disavowed Website: www.orderofbattlepod.com Email: orderofbattlepod@gmail.com Twitter: @orderofbattlepd Instagram: @orderofbattlepod #gijoe
