Look, I'm not trying to have a fight. We're all friends here. I'm just saying that if we look at the Hama interviews about Duke, we can see he didn't care for the character. When we also take into account the crazy failures that happened to the Joes under Duke's supervision, it reinforces what Hama admitted to in the interviews. Hama didn't like Duke. In as much, Duke, as a character, is pretty much a non-entity or a schmuck in the comics. Does anyone really disagree with that? And given the level of gross incompetence Hama pinned on Duke, I do think that the character, as Hama wrote him, should have been relieved of duty. That might have even been a really interesting storyline: how to fire a member of the Joe Team. Duke in the comic was a Schmuck. Hama didn't do a great job with that character for whatever reason. That's really all I'm saying.

I know. Like OB said, they just need to establish a clear, consistent command structure and just stick to it. If Stalker is number 2 or 3 or whatever, his rank should reflect it. If they decide to make Scarlett an officer and put her in charge of Duke, then fine. Just make it clear and don't put an E-5 Stalker in charge of an E-8 Duke or something like that.
Well it should force you anyways.. as we can see they don't let it.

Yes, I disagree with that. That's about all I've been trying to say. He's not my favorite character, but I don't think he's the standard bearer for failure on the Joe team, either.

I live in the Greater Vancouver Area, just a couple of hours from the US border. Joe supplies are okay I guess (although I don't really have any basis for comparison... never went to the States to shop for Joes). The local Toys-R-Us is relatively well-stocked, as well as the local comic book stores. Wal-Marts are hit and miss and I think the annoying trend of re-packing figures has spread to a couple of Wal-Marts in the area (I once saw five Cobra 5-packs all on one shelf, with the vac-chromed Vipers replaced with regular matte-faceplate Vipers, probably by some dickwad with an Army builder obsession and not enough money to go with it).

No, no. I'm talking about when the UTAH PITT went down. Back, towards the end of the Marvel Run.

Loose's post above about Robert Atkins reminded me - several people listing as having worked on GI Joe will be there: Shannon Gallant, Mark Deering, Jeremy Dale, Robert Atkins, Michael Golden, Rick Ketcham, Eric Layton, Pat Quinn and Rod Whigham!
Most of them I've never heard of, but Rod Whigham did some of my favorite issues of the original run, and I'm liking Atkins' stuff on the current title. Quinn was one of Marvel's "fill-in" artists back in the day.

Fair enough. We can politely disagree. Good catch about the PIT 2. Good of you to call me on it. No harm done, my friend.
