Even though I don't like the story this is good news if only to keep GI Joe going. The print run can't be more than 6-8,000 so I wouldn't get too excited. Sales have been trending downward for awhile.

All this crap about a "Female Snake Eyes"... no, it's a female ninja named Dawn who's costume has a visor.

Notice they're not saying how many copies were sold,the last total that was moved to the shops was under 6000. Superman 75 sold out too but it sold 1 million copies.

Or, maybe the comic buying community at large who never paid any attention to GI Joe suddenly became intrigued by the huge marketing push there was behind this new Dawn character. Hopefully that is what it was.

I'm really interested in this storyline. The idea of a female Snake Eyes is really intriguing, especially with the memories being implanted into her.

I'm supposing the Joe fans bought up all the copies to show appreciation to IDW for cancelling Sitterson (and support for Larry).

This is what I was wondering as well. My main comic shop told me they didn't even get it in so I went to the second shop and was lucky enough to have bought the ONE copy they get every month. I don't want to be the "negative" guy, but it seems easy to print less copies, say it sold out and create hype. Marketing 101.

They did a bunch of variant covers. So I’m sure speculating was involved with selling out. But that doesn’t take away from the fact interest is up. GI Joe can use some positive attention in comics. We will have to wait for sales numbers to see how it did compared to recent ‘event’ series.
Dawn Moreno is not Snake Eyes. She is her own character with Snake Eyes memories implanted. It’s trope to tell past Snake Eyes stories and to accelerate Dawn’s character into the story. Remember this is comic books not real life. It’s supposed to be fun. Yo Joe! |

IS interest up or is it a slap to the face of Sitterson A REAL AMERICAN ASSHOLE. (I saw this with a title card online so it must be true. Kind of like THE CROWN JEWEL or THE BEST ACTION COMIC EVER.)
