I like it so far. I think Origins should have stayed a mini series. I agree about the slow pacing also. And ENOUGH with so many covers. It's fine for the first few issues but come ON! Give it a rest. Cobra was really cool. I didn't the like the death of a certain character. (avoiding spoilers) You know who I'm talking about. I kept hoping that wasn't really....that certain character. It's odd to me that Hawk in the other books is so hush hush and secretive and yet is crucifying Scarlett for doing it. Scarlett in charge is strange to me also. I really like the direction DDP was going and I wish they had gotten to continue. Granted, the stories weren't always great but if they had stayed with an older grittier group of "reinstated" Joes, and not gotten off that track early on, it could have been an amazing book.

I own them all. I wasn't really thrilled with the movie adaptation but everything else has been great. Now, if we could FINALLY see GI JOE battle Cobra, I'd be even happier.

I'm loving the "Cobra" series, I think this is the best Joe comic since the original run. Highly recommended.
"Origins" has been spotty, but keeps getting better. I think it's finally finding the right balance, between old, and new elements. There have been two great story arcs. This is growing on me quickly. I can't stand the regular series, and don't see much hope in it improving. The way they're "re-inventing" the characters origins is overall very weak, and lacking any creativity. Once you see what they've done with Destro, you'll quickly agree. Also the writing in this series is terrible, probably the worst of any Joe series ever. Some of the characters reactions, and dialog is straight out of bad 60's cinema.
