I was also a fan of it. I seem to remember Ozzie and I were the only ones here who did like it a lot. To me, it had great potential for character development and was heading in a really interesting direction. I guess for most people, it was just too different from the normal expectation of a Joe comic, which is fine, to each their own. To be fair, there were several folks who said it would have been better if it didn't have the title GI JOE and was something else entirely. I liked it for the fresh take on familiar characters and I just wished it was able to really grow into its own.
Adding on edit: It had my favorite take on the character of Major Bludd in any media and I miss not seeing that one develop the most.
Yeah, I really like his take on the characters; it's been a while since I really couldn't wait to read the next issue. The tough part for me is knowing I've only got a few more issues to go before it's all done!
I like Major Bludd a lot so far, and while I'm not in love with Mindbender, I like the approach. I'd love to learn more about some of the Cobras too (and of course the Dreadnok twins...).
I can see the criticism that "it's GI Joe in name only" or something, but I found that there was enough of the original characters in there, and that even the new characters acted like Joes would in that situation. I dig the espionage side of things too. Bombstrike is a character I didn't know too much about, I doubt she's many fan's favorite, but I enjoyed the take Allor had on her (although that issue's art wasn't my cup of tea, mostly because it was so different from the Evenhuis art.
I'll probably buy anything by Hama or with the ARAH suffix, but this book made me realize I was really ready for a fresh take on things. I know the Traviss run gets a bad rap too, but I'll probably try that after I finish Allor's trade. Then I'll do the Van Lente/Allor run--I guess I'm a bad Joe fan, but I have trouble keeping up with what titles fall where!
