Blog@Newsarama Blog Archive Ryall’s Files: To Boot or Not to Boot, Part 1
reading now... Edit: hmmm, not really much there. (at all) I agree with the decision to reboot, but think Ryall comes off a tad snotty (i've thought this before) but i do certainly agree with the Homer's car analogy, lol...

I've got faith in IDW. I think they'll do a great job with the license. They've got my full support on all 3 titles.

I haven't read much from IDW, but this certainly seems like a rational approach.
As such, I expect it to be utterly condemned by many, if not most.

"How dare they mess with my memories!!" I'm happy with what I've heard of the reboot and the preview issue. Can't wait.

yeah, i'll be passing because i refuse to pay $4 for a comic, but if the reviews are solid i may pick up trades if they can be had for a reasonable discount (the freaking TF movie prequel trade had a higher retail pricetag then buying the individual issues...),

Most of what I love about GI Joe is contained in my head by making up my own stories. The comic books just gave me something to read. I wasn't obsessed with continuity when I was a little kid, so that's why the reboot is ok with me.
They're now free to create a new, modern, and better mythos. |

I am all for the reboot. i think the story needs a fresh start and with the direction they seem to be taking I am completely stoked about it. The comics and resolute are going to be awesome so who cares that the movie will be crap, at least to us, we get the better deal in the end.

I think we are in for a treat. I am glad a more realistic approach to the story will be taken.

I'm hoping they follow what's been gradually happening in IDWs Transformers books and utilize some of the new character models (i.e. Resolute Duke...)
