They've got my interest piqued - what about you?

[morgardee]

I HATE it when comic companies kill off major characters. To me it's all about shock value and that wears off way to fast. Cobra Commander should never die. I still remember issue 100 "I'm back!" Hopefully he's just in a coma or something.

I lost all respect for Marvel when they killed of Captain America. Kill of minor characters if you have to. I loved the New Warriors and they killed off Night Thrasher and destroyed that team but I let that slide because they were not center pieces of the main Marvel universe. Captain America is a center piece, just like Cobra Commander.

If Cobra Commander is truly dead then I say end the series in less then 12 issues and finally have the good guys win.

[Stratos]

Only 12 issues in they decide to kill off the Commander and go to Civil War? Didn't the Marvel or DDP runs teach the powers that be anything?

I am a huge Joe comics fan but honestly, due to price point, I've given up buying individual issues. I'm now only buying Trades so it'll be a while before I read this story or anything leading up to it.

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).

[pdaat]

Will ARAH continue?

[Stratos]

Will ARAH continue?

I assume so although that is never mentioned. It is separate from everything else IDW established so that is where my assumption comes from.

[Sundance]

the Hama comic is unaffected.

and A) yes, CC is REALLY dead and B) Captain America isn't.

[Stratos]

Brian Truitt - the writer behind the new IDW Cobra Civil War news has confirmed via Twitter that the new ARAH will continue as it is out of continuity with the rest of the IDW titles.

[morgardee]

the Hama comic is unaffected.

and A) yes, CC is REALLY dead and B) Captain America isn't.

I know I'm going off topic wasn't Captain America replaced by Bucky / Winter Soldier or something like that? If Steve Rogers is back, then how?

Never mind. I looked it up. Man comics are confusing and i use to work in a comic shop!

[Sundance]

same way Bruce Wayne came back, he wasn't really dead!

same as like 90% of comic resurrections. 'oh, i wasn't really dead! someone beamed me off that crashing asteroid/a godlike entity placed me in a healing coccoon and impersonated me/i got captured by the Russkies and turned into their brainwashed puppet/i got replaced by 4 different copycats whilst i was recovering/i went into a ninja trance and have now recovered despite being shot 3 times at close range'

[Stealth Viper]

Will ARAH continue?

Yes, it will. ARAH is not connected to these events
