Not too new. I don't want Joes/Cobra in name only. It's like ignoring all of Tom Clancy's detail-rich novels to do a "fresh take" on Jack Ryan or John Clark. The new property only exists because of the investments people made in the old property. Quote:

Good news! You can watch literally anything else and pretend it's just a new take on G.I. Joe.
Captain America: The First Avenger? New take on G.I. Joe. Fortnite? New take on G.I. Joe. Dramatic retelling of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? New take on G.I. Joe.

Reminds me of that time Destro highjacked an ice cream truck to chase Scarface who was in a pink Cadillac, and the Joes chased them both in an APC. In a theme park. Issue 18, I believe.
You've got to get the TONE right, to recapture that classic GI Joe feel. It's a particular thing!

But there are probably 50-75 characters in Joe lore who have little-if-any continuity. Promote a few, revitalize a few, even replace or regender a few, but there's no need to throw out the whole thing. There are tiers of background characters who never got the chance to stand front and center.

Now, I think we can all agree that a complete reimagining, like Extreme, is out of the question. Out of these two options, which is the better direction in a post-Hama world? |

Hama's continuity isn't going anywhere. I'm more curious about the second continuity, which there has been since the get-go... such as Sunbow, Reloaded, the Dixon/Costaverse...

I'd be happy with them not throwing out Hama's stuff from ARAH #1-#155 if they did something similar to what I did with some of my fan-fic and do stories woven around the extant stories using characters Hama never touched like Overlord, Sky Patrol, Freefall, Skystriker, Claymore, the Renegades, Blizzard, Bullhorn, Mace, Longarm, Copperhead, Gnawgahyde, Sky Creeper etc. or other characters that got little page time under Hama.
