New Joe Comic...thoughts?
« on: October 24, 2008, 10:05:23 AM »

It was enough to peak my interest, I think I will be checking this out when it starts in January.

The storyline intrigues me, the art bugs me.

I found it very odd. It didn't feel like a G.I. Joe story to me. It's more like they wanted to make G.I.Joe more serious so they are trying to re-invent Joe (again).

I agree, The art looks like crap.  Plus I have no interest in reading or accumulating comic books.  Via la cartoon.  :shifty:

I haven't received my comics yet, won't get them till Sunday, but I did read the three previews on newsarama.com, the regular series seemed worth reading, the cobra series seemed worth reading, but Larry's Origins series preview didn't really peek my interest.

I liked all three stories. I would like to know more about how the Chuckles story fits into continuity, though. I think IDW is having two GI Joe continuities running concurrently, so I assume Chuckles fits in with the Hama written world. Not sure. Just happy to see not every story will be about the big name Joe characters.

Speaking of names, anyone else bothered the art samples in the back clearly took something written about Roadblock and substituted the name Heavy Duty? As bad as Heavy Duty replacing Roadblock usually is, saying that picture was modeled after Heavy Duty v2 is the worst thing ever.

i agree...the pic was obviously of Roadblock V2, but they called him Heavy Duty...I would like to think it's  because the copyright for the name Roadblack has lapsed rather than they just didn't do the research....

I liken the format to something similar to the old GI JOE and GI JOE SPECIAL MISSIONS set up.  One is the main story and the other is sort of a closer look at specific Joes and missions.

It may or may not be good.  I will however, give the benefit of the doubt to IDW since I really like what they did with Transformers.

I liked it as much as I liked Reloaded, Sigma6, and/vs. Transformers, or any other alternate/ultimate universe story.  Marvel/Image/DDP will always be the real story as far as I am concerned (except where Megatron showed up for an overhaul).
