well the marvel run is essential to the GI Joe mythos. without it the DDP run is useless. not that DDP isn't good on it's own, but the marvel run sets things up and really defines the characters. the IDW run is completely different continuity and requires no setup by marvel or DDP.

There was a thread on here about the value of the old Marvel comics yesterday or the day before and a Tanker by the name of Kamakura Hawai posted a link to a website that you can read the Marvel line for free. I checked it out, real good site. All 155 issues.

Make sure you read the Marvel Special Missions. THose are more straight forward military action with the Joes and Cobra and are the best issues of Joe period.
My opinion of course. The main marvel run had it's moments, but there was too much drama, too much ninjas, too much SE.

Yeah the Special Mission series was good. THe regular series had a lot of good moments too. In my opinion the newer stuff pales in comparison to the Marvel Series.

I've only read a couple of the old Marvel comics, and none of the DDP ones, but I've gotta say that the new IDW run is a good comic. I just picked up issue eight today as well as the new Helix special and really enjoyed them both. I'm not trying to bash the other two, but you might want to check out the new series if for no other reason than that they are easier to get.
