Since its was announced that Larry is continuing the Marvel run of GI Joe, does that mean every story arc, subplots, side stories, characters DDP created considered null and void?

That's a good question, because even though it's been awhile since I read the DDP stuff, I think I remember it being a continuation of sorts of the Marvel run. I liked it, pretty much. It'll be interesting to see what comes of this Marvel continuation now.

We've already discussed this in another thread,
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ontinuity.html but yes, Hasbro has said the DDP continuity doesn't exist anymore except as a stand alone universe.

it isn't null and void as much as it isn't a part of the new IDW series. It's a still a story that has it's merits and "happened," it's just not where the new series is going to be taking itself. this time Hama has his own vision and story, and we get to come along for the ride

Devil's Due got me back into the Joe comics and the 25th line got me back into the figures. It's awful nice of them to help me save money and not care again. I feel like writing someone a thank you letter.

I wouldn't say that I loved when they killed Lady Jaye, but it was at least realistic. We're talking war and terrorists here, and that means that there is going to be death. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Marvel run, but even as a kid I thought it was corny and soap-oprah-ish when Storm Shadow got killed and then here he is, back to life again.

I explained this in the other thread but will do so here as well...
If they allowed the DDP to be official with the original ARAH then that puts a limit on what Hama can do. There is now a ceiling to where his stories have to lead. He now would be writing the story of how the Joes and Cobra went from #155 to DDP #1 and what happened in that 7 year gap. Do we really want that? That means we'd know that no one would die (since they were all alive in DDP). We'd know that eventually Duke joins the CIA. We'd know that Snake-Eyes gets Orphelia as an apprentice and that she dies. We'd know that Zartan gets sick. We'd know that Alexander and Armada show up and inject Destro with nanomites. THERE WOULD BE NO SURPRISES!! THERE WOULD BE NO THREAT!! (because we know they all survive until DDP #1) With all that, WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT of having Hama do a new series?
