A new volume every 2 1/2 months?
Why on earth are they doing this. At this rate it will be well into 2011 before we see the entire 1-16 set. It angers my blood. Thoughts?

and it's a marketing ploy to keep people buying the trades

Being angry that they're coming out every 2 1/2 months? That's just silly. You've waited years. You can wait a few more months. |

The realities of printing, shipping and marketing. As well as spreading the books out over an extended period rather than dropping them all at once. Stretches the production expenses over a manageable period of time for IDW.
Being angry that they're coming out every 2 1/2 months? That's just silly. You've waited years. You can wait a few more months. At this rate they will never get to volume 16. The buzz of Joe will die in the next 10 months and so will Classic Joe.

Maybe they need time to make and release the Trades after #5 so they're delaying each reprint Trade by a couple of months so that after they re-release #5 they'll have #6 ready to go. This would probably work better than re-releasing 1-5 real quick then making everyone wait half a year or more before they could get the other trades out.
They probably also had to see how some of the reprints would sell to show that there is a market for them to actually make the other trades. |

Then you should blame Devils Due, Hasbro and Marvel. They were making GI Joe Comics from 2001-2008 (or 2009, I forget when they ended) and all they released were 5 volumes. There was obviously Joe buzz around during those 7 years.

The only reason they printed them was so fans just getting into the series could figure out what everything was about. Issues 1-40 are tough to find and waaaay to expensive. I spent 300 dollars for a near mint, first issue alone. They had no intention to make 1-16.
