Hey kids,
I was just curious how everyone felt about the the two Image/Devil's Due runs of comics after the Marvel run. Specifically, GI Joe ARAH 1-43 and Americas Elite. I was going over the summaries on YOJOE and thought that the ideas were actually good, in an original way. They told the story very differently from Larry Hama and they pulled some Sunbow stuff into the mix too. When I originally read these comics, the art was what discouraged me. It was so different from the Marvel series. Now I'm more story oriented with comics and I can overlook poor or overly stylized art. What do you guys think????

I haven't read those, only DDP's GI Joe Declassified about the original thirteen's origins. The stories were short but good and so was the artwork. More old-school and gritty than the other slick stylized artwork.

Strange that IDW would put out their Origins series so soon afterwords and it's completely different, not even with the same characters.

Is Sunbow the cartoon?

Yeah, Sunbow is the cartoon. I have all the DDP comics. I didn't like the profanity and I would have prefered Hama had done them, but I liked them. They had Extensive Enterprises, and some cool first appearances like Big Bear and Cobra Mortal and Bombstrike. They had the green shirts also but I didn't really like how that was portrayed (something like second class canon fodder). Kamakura and his dad Wade Collins (from the Marvel run). Also Road Pig and Gnawgahyde.

I really hated how they would build up storylines and the final chapter would be a huge letdown. That and the fact that the killing spree they committed towards the ARAH run, it got to the point the deaths were just for the sake of saying "Oh look we killed characters off" and served no purpose. Add to that a death in the DD run was a garuntee not to recieve and updated figure (at the time) and then you got angry fanboys all over the place.

Joe reloaded was actually interesting but never had a chance to shine. I would have liked to have seen it carried out a few more issues.
