Yep, it's a new "universe" from the ground up and doesn't tie in with either the original marvel run or the Devil's Due Productions comics..
Larry Hama will be writing a continuation of the original series to be released later this year, though (the issue numbering will start at issue #156, since the original series ended at #155).. |

Well in that case i am not going to collect idw gijoe anymore. Atleast not now. Maybe later. I did get all of the first year and a lot of the variant covers. But i am going to just focus on the classic marvel run and look forward to the return of hama

you should pick up Cobra anyway though. The only idw continuity book worth anything, the main title is horrid and origins is hit and miss.

The IDW books ain't half bad...and while I understand their moving for a slow build, there's build and then there's little happening.
I honestly forget how many issue there are but so far all we really have is Destro got metal, Cobra as an organization is likely to kill you, and Snake Eyes went rogue Mainframe Scarlett supported him, and now their back. That's about a years worth of story. |

Wait...what? How did you read the entire first year, and not pick up on the fact that it was a whole new take?

people complained that ddp added too many elements from the cartoon, well, idw/dixon took that to the extreme with the main title...damn does it suck, suck, suck. story is just bad, not going anywhere, there's no good characterization or story being told. i don't mind the slow pace but the pace isn't adding anything or doing anything to advance the story or the characters in any way, shape, or form. it's just terrible. yet i am a tool because i keep putting down 3.99 a month for it..hoping it might get better. such a rip off...

While I loved the classic Marvel run, atleast up to when i stopped in the mid 80's, there was ALOT of crap in there. ALOT. Especially later on. I'm not saying that Hama's new work won't be good, it could be his best. However there are alot of things that went to hell in that original continuity and I've no desire to go back there. More over I've no desire to see it retconned. I like the IDW run, it's more adult, and while it's a bit of a slow cooker, many of the stories being told there rival anything Marvel ever put out. Cobra just flat out puts the original series to shame. JMO, though.
