Ok guys, I'll do it. I brought it up so I will sign up on the IDW boards after we get a nice long list of folks that want to keep the continuity of the comic and a big NO TO A REBOOT!!!
So if you DO NOT WANT A REBOOT then sign up!! If someone else wants to post this on the boards over there (IDW) then feel free to take this over(just let me know) but let's get a petition signed here first. It might not work but you never know. |

the 25th toys are a reboot from the comic continuity. the movie is a reboot. the animated series that is certain to follow the movie will be a reboot. I can't think of any good reason why the comic shouldn't be a reboot. I don't think anyone considers anything DD did really an extension of the Marvel series even if it was supposed to be follow the continuity, and the Marvel series ended nearly 20 years ago, so I don't see any reason to really attempt to continue it.
like I said, even the 25th figures, with the rewritten Cobra Trooper filecards and reworked Cobra ranks, essentially is a reboot with those changes, so as long as the comic reboots but keeps the most significant aspects of G.I. Joe that were established with the original series, I am all for it. |

Well I'll agree with gunslinger to a degree. I don't think I can go down the Storm Shadow is a brain washed Cobra again. I loved the fact that he is on the Joe team and would hate to rehash that played out story of back and forth again but that's another story.
What I am afraid of is major changes to characters, the disappearance of new ones that debuted in DDP, the rehashing of old stories (SS a cobra), and I don't need a re-telling of the forming of Cobra and G I Joe. There is so much history with ARAH and AE why risk major changes? I mean what if they made Snake-Eyes instead of a badass commando/ninja to a pacifist, peace loving, mess hall cook? Or Ripcord Marlon Wayons? Or matched-up Flint with Scarlett? If a reboot happens then maybe pick up where the Marvel book ended or before SE became a ninja zombie I'd be ok with, but why throw out the history of the brand and back stories especially with the 25th anniversary of this brand and it's history is in full swing? |

I'm 100% against a reboot, but I also think that petitions in general go largely unnoticed or completely ignored. Although I did sign a Jericho petition, so I quess anything is possible.

Are you sure it's IDW's idea to reboot and not Hasbro's?
I was under the impression that Hasbro wants to homogenize the toys, comics, movie, etc. in 2009 to bring the brand continuity. |

I'd like to see Scarlett walk into Joe headquarters to find Patrick Duffy in her shower to tell her it had all been a dream.

Okay guys, until we get confirmation that IDW even has the joe comic license, this thread will be locked.
