Finally read it... Not too bad. Torch is now a girl and we get to meet Buzzer's grandfather. Sierra Gordo exists in this reality also and Zartan ("Zartan Zartan"?) was born there. Story's highlight was the pathos, straight out of a Walking Dead episode (i.e. high death toll). Who knows. This might go somewhere.

Can't wait for the spin-off title "Farmin' Wid Da Noks!" Maybe they can bundle it with a thumb drive that includes the entire Foxfire survival series and a jug of biodiesel. Polybagged in corn thread netting and with hand ground earth pigment soy ink exclusive variant covers!
Vroom vroom!

Initially i didn't think i'd like this series . Issue #1 didn't move me for a variety of reasons. However after issue #4 (and now 5) i can say that i'm on board. This is not ARAH which is the one and true Joe comic to me but as long as Hama's ARAH doesn't go anywhere i'm comfortable with this reinterpretation .
Not bad. Good enough to not regret buying it and intriguing enough to make me look forward to the next issue. Also B.A.T.S. |

Don't really care about race swapping as it means nothing, it has absolutely no impact on the character storyline at all so it's no different from a new coat of paint, change of costume and so on.
If it was something like making James Bond a woman, that's when this stuff doesn't work as it completely undermines his character, who is supposed to be a womanizer, he's sexist, it's part of who Bond is and was so no don't change him. Can Bond be made black male? Sure why not, it doesn't change the character at all except visually. If they are redesigning characters for a new version of a franchise, race swapping is not an issue at all. |

If i'm being honest....i haven't paid much attention to any changes in character , gender or ethnicity because this isn't *my* G.I. Joe. It's a blank slate so i'm just going with the flow. It's not bad (infinitely better than that Sitterson Joe comic and the art is good enough to keep me engaged unlike the extremely off putting art from the Transformers vs. GI Joe crossover . I couldn't even read that due to the art).

It's a slow moving, well told story that is a fresh take on GI Joe. Don't go into it expecting Hama Joe and read it with no preconceived notions, if you are capable. If not, buy something else.

^ Good fundamental advice for those that are hesitant or have a problem with a non ARAH title.

I thought the first issue was pretty meh, but it has gotten better with each issue. It’s definitely not Hama’s Joe but it is an interesting interpretation.
