Beyond action figures, Hasbro is turning up the volume with a full-fledged Cold Slither debut album in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music.

JOE enthusiasts, the comic promises an action-packed storyline where the band’s grand comeback might just have global consequences—unless G.I. JOE can stop them!
