I'm nowhere near the comic connoisseurs most of you are, as GIJoe is the only property I buy. Although Army of Two looks good, so I might finally add another. So after a long hiatus without Joe comics, I was happy for their return. And DDP definitely was a fanboy comic. Every time they brought in a lost character I was happy. Like getting Overkill and Claymore with Big Ben and Dodger and Overlord in a 4 comic span leading up to the Invasion of Cobra Island and the Coil. I loved it. But after that almost everything seemed rushed. And I think they took some good ideas but then had to cut them short for whatever reason. Sure they tied in too many things together, but lots of comics do that. Sometimes explaining the mysteriousness of a character is not a good thing either, but after so many years fans want to know. However Snake-Eyes Declassified is terrible. The Dreadnok Declassified is OK but I'm not sure if I like it now. But I don't really like Firefly's origins that much either as explained by Larry Hama. It's just too convenient a tie in with SE and SS. |

Grrr. I want to get the book but I can't find the newer second edition in my locale (all I've found are the first editions, which apparently have poorer picture quality), and I really make a point to buy books from local brick-and-mortar stores. Hopefully I can order one through a local shop and see first-hand the stuff people are raving about.

I need to hit the local Borders and see if they have a copy.

Loose, those figures look great! Did you get that General Rey on Ebay? Who is the other figure?

Yeah on ebay. The other is my Super Trooper. (He originally was a Rey also, but didn't do it for me so I swapped it with an extra Grand-Slam head.
Well I assume they won't have that book in the bookshops here so I'll have to look on Amazon. |

Yeah, the one you're using for Rey on the right is much better.

In 1982,when the G.I.Joe comics started,the Pit is under Fort Wadsworth. How long would it have taken to build it? After the second Cobra attack on the Pit,the powers that be must have know it would be a matter of times before Cobra destroyed it. So how long would it have taken to build the new Pit in Utah?
In the G.I.Joe Rise of Cobra movie the Pit is under the desert in Egypt. How long would it have taken for that to have been built? Now Destro`s base was under the arctic icecap. How long would it have taken for that to be built? As for Cobra Commander wanting to take over the world,what wouild he do with it if he got it? He may have troops loyal to his cause,but how loyal is he to his troops? Is it one for all and one for all or is it me,myself and I. |

Don't even get me started on the various bases and the impossibilities of them.
The PITs as shown in the comics could not exist as they are (be constructed) without destroying the buildings above and they are also way to small for the amount of personal shown, as well as missing needed (but not fun) function rooms. It would have taken a couple of years to build the PIT, could possibly get it down to a year, year and a half, if there were no structures on top and didn't need to be in secret. Total secrecy, probably closer to 3 years easy. The Rock from America's Elite was better, as it was closer to a real world functional structure. IDW's PIT City is pretty good as well. I never understood why people followed CC in the original comics and cartoon. He had no charisma (in the cartoon) and no loyalty (in the comics). At least IDW seems to be building a real reason why they follow him.
