I like the GI Joe: Origin story and the main series has its moments, but I just can't say I'm impressed.
Am I alone in these thoughts or missing something?
No you're not alone. I have to say I'm equally, if not more, unimpressed so far with IDW's take on G.I. Joe, in any of their Joe titles. I just feel that their trying to make G.I. Joe more in sync with current day covert ops stuff like 24, Alias, and the Bourne movies and that's not what G.I. Joe is to me. But then again I was not too impressed by their Transformers titles either when they first started those. It wasn't until "All Hail Megatron" that I felt they had gotten a real grasp of what the Transformers was all about, and really gotten a feel for the characters the kind of storytelling those characters deserved. So just like you, no I'm not very impressed by IDW's take on G.I. Joe. But I've still got my fingers crossed they'll stop this 'slow as molasses' take on the action and introducing characters and kick things into overdrive.
