Everything I've seen of this series makes it look like the guys making it are dropping LOADS of mind-altering chemicals while working on it. The interviews don't change that perception at all....
Because seriously, it's like...the weirdest thing out there right now. It's completely bugnuts crazy, and...it's not exactly good, but it's the kind of train wreck that it's really hard to turn away from because the creators clearly have giant stones to pull this off with a licensed property. To be clear, it's not offensive, but...yeah, I can't even describe it. It's kinda gotta be seen to be believed. |

I don't know one single person who likes this garbage. And the the mastubatory comentary at the end of each issue is just insulting. Scioli and Barber are WAAAY out of touch with this series and how the fans are receiving it.
They're right...it SHOULDN'T exist.

I gave it 4 issues, which is 4 more than I should have.
Art is okay but in no way my taste or suitable for a GI Joe book. Sorry while it is just weird for no real reason, I get what they are trying to do but it still sucks. Sad part on the whole thing is Barber is the editor of GI Joe right? His involvement in the book helps me to understand why the main book is always in such chaos.

The liner notes in the back are fascinating to me - I've never seen anything done before in a comic, and it's so interesting to get an insight into what goes on behind the curtain, and all the attention to detail. It's wild and crazy, kind of like a crazy humorous Alice in Wonderland dreamlike thing. Of course it isn't cannon and it isn't being published instead of the regular comics. I can see that it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I really don't see why so many people seem to love to hate it. |

Even though I am not a fan, I looked it up on the top 300 for October and November and it was out selling the main title and ARAH. It is popular even though it does nothing for me and others.
