I could look this up, but this mean most of the other series will stop?
IDW Joe continuity is confusing. It seems we have about 4 timelines - all over the place.
The issue was truly awesome though!
According to the article, all lines will stop and then be rebooted. The titles will be: GI Joe, Cobra, and Snake Eyes. The Joe & SE titles will tackle their battles with Cobra while Cobra will drop Chuckle's POV and now focus on who will be the next Commander. As I read it, they'll all be part of the same timeline.
I agree that the current, ending era of books was confusing. I really liked the extensions of Rise of Cobra that they did. I enjoyed that Origins and the on-going finally merged. I have no idea where Hearts & Minds fit in but it was enjoyable. Didn't buy Noir but will when it's collected in Trade. The one shots, like Helix, were good but often seemed to be out of sequence/serial with the other stories until much later. I like Helix - hope they use her more.
And I am enjoying Hama's new continuation of ARAH. Looking forward to the first collected Trade (although I already have all the issues already).
