After reading that StormShadow thread I thought about this:
So I'm a big GI Joe fan (obviously by being in this board), but I do notice there are plenty of very hard core fans that go seriously into the back story of characters, stick to certain storylines or a toy's filecard, etc... Does anyone here follow the comic or any other Joe story as gospel? i.e. "It was written/told like this here, so that's what it is. No and, ifs or buts about it" |

Not gospel, but pretty darn close... When i think of this Universe, everything that happened in the 1st 100 or so Marvel comics... Happened. After that, you have to pick and choose if you want to use all of the characters that have been made since...

I think there's been to many wildy different versions of Joe to just pick one as canon.
My order of importance is: filecards, Marvel comics, DDP comics, Sunbow cartoon (I did Marvel and DDP seperate because even though they are technically the same universe/continuity, I think DDP screwed with it enough, trying to fit the cartoon stuff into it, that it's different enough). But I really just ignore most of it, using the filecards to figure out specialties and then just wing the backstory. See the link in my sig for what I mean.

I consider all of the works of Joe to be "gospel".
That goes for Sunbow, DiC, Marvel, Filecards, DDP, IDW, RoC, Extreme, etc. Except Sigma Six, that show stunk. Just kidding. |

There's too many universes... I think most just combines them in some sort of way and make their own universe to suit their own storylines.

I take elements of the filecards and Marvel comics, even some ROC and cartoon and add some imagination to build my Joe-verse. No gospels - there are too many, and even the comic book seemed to retcon at times. So I don't feel blasphemous not sticking to one or another.

I use the filecards and a healthy dose of imagination for my joe-verse, though I do like where ROC was going with it.
