I do have to wonder though, if this shared desire for
GI Joe
to be more "realistic" is a universal thing among older fans of the property or if your average older Joe fan simply elects to move on to say, Tom Clancy's
Rainbow Six
books or reading sensationalistic "based on a true story" military action-themed paperbacks when they want to get their "realistic
GI Joe
" itch scratched. I mean, if it's a significant trend, you'd think Hasbro or one of its licensees would have tried to take advantage of it somehow.

Thanks a lot. I really should be opening up this thread for people to share their own ideas and visual concepts for their "personal
GI Joe
" in the wake of my going in a wholly different, non-Joe direction. Post away, guys.
