How many people actually got there hands on this one?
It was a tough little beast for me to track down. The stores had to order 25 issues to get one in and most stores were small and didnt order that many. Orlando area only got in maybe 2 issues tops. and I got from what I understand to be the only one that went into Tampa. |

I always prefered Micheal Golden anyway, even if his #36 cover wasn't exactly his best work...

Joe at all(I thank Previews advance order system for mine) I was lucky to just get the cover I did. I hate it when variants depend on the amount ordered, though I guess that's what makes them rare. | |

that is why IDW has already reboot the gijoe comic book story and their own new universe.
ok for IDW gi joe continuity, let's see how the new characters of joes and cobra hawk, scarlett, snake eyes, duke, destro, baroness, cobra commander, storm shadow and others will turn out to be and how do they look maybe based on their toy version. i saw saw few of them like duke and hawk. | |

They all told me they had to order 50 copies to get it. I called Graham Crackers in Illinois(I'm in Ohio) and the guy was really helpful. He called their other stores and found me one for $29.99. | |
