Hi buddy! Welcome to the tank! You should definately go online and check the old A Real American Hero episodes, or better yet, buy the footlocker! Also, you can buy the Resolute DVD with all the episodes if you haven't seen it. Those will probably make you want to collect even more though...careful!
As for the Rise of Cobra movie...it was horrible and didn't revive joe for me. I guess it was good to get younger generations into Joe. Hopefully, the new movie will make up for that ROC garbage! LOL!

Welcome. Do your self a favor and don't get into the vintage line. It will drain your funds. Better just to start with the 30th Anniversary line and move forward. And no, the movie did jack shit for the big picture of G I Joe.

Welcome! New fans are the best kind.
Suggested watching: the original cartoon, and the newer Resolute film. Renegades was also a good series with a different take on the mythos. Most people flip between the cartoon and the original Marvel comic for the basis of their Joe continuity. There've been nearly a dozen interpretations since 1982, so once you learn who the characters are and what they're about, you can fill the blanks any way you choose. G.I. Joe might be unique in that aspect to its modular continuity. Visit YoJoe.com for a comprehensive breakdown on the toy line since its birth. 2007 is when the 25th Anniversary began and the reason a lot of us are here. The 30th Anniversary is about to hit and the new SKYSTRIKER is kickoff to it. Go find yourself one now! |

Welcome to the 'Tank! As was already stated, the original Marvel comics are considered the best interpretation of the Joe Mythos. I started reading the graphic novels (GI Joe Classic) about a year or two ago and love them so much I wash I had read it as a kid. The original 80's cartoon is what I grew up with and was all I ever knew of GI Joe until I started reading the comics.
If you're looking for something more modern and geared towards adults, you'll love the GIJoe Resolute DVD. Devil's Due Publishing also had a run that I never read but seems to be fairly well liked. Also, IDW publishing (who is releasing the classic Marvel run) also has a new comic series out that you might like, though some people aren't a fan of it. It started in 2007 and ran until a few months ago. There were 3 titles; GI Joe, GI Joe Origins, and GI Joe: Cobra. That series has now ended but is transitioning into "Cobra Civil War," which is currently at issue #3. Cobra Civil War picks up where the previous 3 titles left off and has 3 new titles; Cobra Civil War: GI Joe, Cobra Civil War: Cobra, and Cobra Civil War: Snake Eyes. Hope that helps, sorry if that's too wordy... |
