2 out of 3 of the upcoming projects sound outstanding. Mom and Pop Shop Joe will quietly be cancelled after a few issues I fear. I hope I am wrong, but as the sage once said, 2 out of 3 ain't bad!

I gotta say I don't like the premise of the new GI Joe book, but will keep an open mind. IDWverse Joe series from 2009-2016 started well...and fizzled over the years. Lots of good stuff, and lots of wasted potential. ARAH is still going strong, and I am excited for Snake Hunt.

Could Dead Game be about the return of Snake Eyes?

"Joes dressed as civilians working at a mom and pop shop."
This is not accurate, just an fyi. |

Joe fans are quick to condemn anything that isn't ARAH. "If it's not Larry, it's not canon." to them--and also to Hama himself--he doesn't acknowledge anyone else's work than his own. Other endeavors may be more successful if people broadened their definition of what a good Joe story is. It would also help if Hama acknowledged other creators' hard work.

He doesn't read or watch it. It has nothing to do with his Joe universe. Many creators don't read fanfic, or watch the shows based on, or similar to, their work. This is because they don't want it inadvertently leeching in, and they need to avoid litigious people. I imagine, also, that it's somewhat disconcerting to see characters based on people you know doing things in ways they didn't. There's a reason Larry Hama isn't comfortable with Scarlett paired up with anyone but Snake Eyes. Search around, and you'll find the post where Larry Hama is standing with Larry Houston and noting that the Silent Castle design was inspired by seeing Houston's art for Destro's castle from the first cartoon mini series. Larry and Larry hadn't seen each other in decades, and were tickled to meet again. "Larry Houston designed the "Cobra Castle" for the animated show- I adapted it as the "Silent Castle" for ARAH #21. I hadn't seen him since the '80s, when he was the "new kid" at the studio." From March 27, 2018 This is generally the attitude of most creators meeting. So, remember, it isn't that they are stuck up or nasty, it's that they are keeping away from potential "contamination", if you will. Last edited by DianaD; 07-20-2019 at 01:24 PM..
