Yeah. The cartoon suffered from the A-Team-itis, where no one ever died or got shot. It was kind of stupid.
I didn't like that none of the Joes died in the comic either. Never made any sense to me, even as a kid. These were soldiers, getting shot at, etc.. Some of them were bound to die or get so wounded they couldn't continue to serve. Those Trucial Abysmia issues don't count, that was just a way to get a massive death count. Joes shouldn't have been dying all the time, but every once in awhile. I understand it was Hasbro calling the shots on that.
The comic started out great, and kind of lost it along the way with everyone being somehow connected to Snake-Eyes and the whole Ninja-Force thing. DDP's stuff was bad to okay up until America's Elite, which was a good series.
I have high hopes for the IDW series. It's already starting to show that it's meaner and grittier then anything before it. Which is what is needed in this new generation. The candy-coated series of the past won't play to today's fans. The recruitment story, where Hawk recruits Duke, was great. The Chuckles story was great. The main story was pretty good.
Can probably guess my favorite part of the Dixon-story (Torpedo being used as a SEaL and not a diver!!!).
