I just wanted to take a minute and defend the new feminine Dial Tone. Robert Atkins was at Graham Crackers Comics (suburbs of Chicago) today for the debut and I have to say he's a very gracious and friendly guy. I asked him about the change and he said that he and Dixon were working on introducing a completely new character into the line-up. However, after the story was written and drawn, Hasbro decided that they already had enough characters. Since this female character is a communications support specialist, they made them change the name to Dial Tone.

Doesn't bother me a bit. Dial-Tone was one of my favorite action figures. Hated him in the cartoon. Never got any play in the Marvel/DDP comics.
I'm okay with Beachhead having black hair, it's hair color, it's a minor thing. I love the underground skyscraper. I'm a little leery cause the Joe team seems so large now. So did all those people have to "die" to get onto the team, or just the special missions operatives (the guys with codenames). Not a big fan of introducing so many people, no chance for "new" members later on, if the entire roster is already part of the team. We know Flint is already part of the team (from #0), so I'm hoping that Lady Jaye isn't and will be introduced later on. Remember guys, that Wet-Suit and Torpedo are SEaLs, not divers. Torpedo was used right in issue #0. If that is him acting as a diver in #1, can be explained by wanting the fighting support to assist the divers (Deep-Six and Shipwreck). Makes sense to not have Wet-Suit there.

On the Scarlett/Snake-Eyes romance... I wonder if most of Scarlett was caused by guilt. Snake-Eyes got hurt saving her, so did that kind of make her misplace how she repayed Snake-Eyes?

I enjoyed it and will stick with it to see where is goes. Snagged the Dave Johnson cover for myself. I'm a huge 100 Bullets fan and was glad to see they have him wrangled in.

But at the same time, they might be big buildings, thay might just be for research... And yeah, thats a lot of people right off the bat! Wondering if most are green shirts? I didnt know that Wet-Suit was not a diver? I guess you guys went over that in the file card thread....

No one was more harsh than me about the IDW #0 comic. IDW is known for poor production values, poor stories, and over-priced comics.
That said, Chuck Dixon is one of my favorite writers, so I was willing to give this one a chance. I liked it, and I will continue on with this one. I still think Origins will suck, and I'm not a Christos Gage fan, so I'm not interested in the Cobra series featuring Chuckles. I will however give them both a chance and since expectations are very, very low........perhaps I'll be impressed.

Is it just me or does Scarlett just completely kick ass in this new continuum? I mean, you'd think her MOS was 'Counter Intelligence' or something. Seems like she's been playing back-up ninja/commando/damsel in distress to superhero Snake-Eyes for so long I forgot what she was even on the team for.
I've gotta say I'm very impressed with the direction Dixon is taking. |

I picked up Cover C.
Overall, I loved it. I'm not too concerned about Beach's hair color change, or the fact that they changed Dial-Tone to a female. This is not the old Marvel or DDP universe. I'm sure that Dixon will try to stay as close as possible to the characters that we love, but somethings have to change. This isn't the 80's anymore. I love the Marvel run...I grew up on it. I'm a 30 yr old and that's my GI Joe, but I also like the idea of a new direction and re-invision. The size of the PIT makes sense. Think about it like this. There's gotta be support staff, storage, parts depot, service areas, cooks, mess halls, lodging, ect... For a place to support the Joe team that's alot of people and stuff. I like the idea of their own city. I'll stick with it and see how it goes. |
