I gotta say, reading this thread makes me feel MUCH better. I only watched the cartoon growing up and for YEARS now, even before I got back into collecting Joes with the 25th line, I'd heard people speak about Larry Hamma as if he was the Second Coming, so my expectations were pretty high for these comic packs and MAN was I let down. I've stopped reading them because all I can think is "THIS is the guy all that hype was about? REALLY?!"

They are aimed at kids. My 8 year old loves them.

I have to admit that the quality of these comic pack comics has been really low. I just finished reading the Destro/Iron Grenadier one and I don't even know what the hell I read. Apparently there were several squads of Cobra troops hiding around Destro's home, waiting to attack while the Joes kept watch. Destro runs off to meet his neighbor and to have a nowhere conversation, and the new Iron Grenadier recruit drives about the grounds with his head up his ass as he passes all the obvious Cobra hideouts. Then the comic just ends with no resolution and no real story at all.

Why the hell would he mess with the fanbase that has kept him employed for like 20 years?

I think Hasbro wanted him to have the comics be more kid friendly. So therefore it sucks for us, but is great for children who Hasbro hopes will help the Joe line stay strong.
I highly doubt the IDW series will be aimed at young kids. I am sure it will be aimed more towards the adult reader. |

The original Marvel series was 'aimed at kids' though wasn't it? It still managed to be remarkably mature at times (in the proper sense of the word too, not just 'violent' and 'dark' all the time like some other comics that try to be "grown up")

I think Hama is making these kid friendly (I hope) and explaining all the accessories or lack there of. If this is what the new run is going to be like, then it won't be good at all.
