This is a big amount of crap. Kiddish figures, off scale vehicles and people...I ask why?
Anyway I do not like this style, with no offense for Mister Scioli. I think G.I.JOE and Transformers deserve something better and less peculiar.

Yeah, I liked that style when I drew it in the 4th and 5th grades. It's certainly different and catches the eye, but for the wrong reasons.

I'm willing to give it 2-3 issues before I decide if I like it or not. If art was an issue, I would have had to drop all of the joe books at one point or another (excluding Cobra, I can't remember a time that I didn't enjoy the art there). Storyline wise, it will be nice to see a different take on the characters on both sides, so I will reserve judgement until they have had a chance to actually show us something.

I was just thinking, "Gosh, I hate that art!" But that's what makes the world so cool, each of us with our own opinions.

I was really surprised when I looked at the cover art by Scioli. It does not look like he knows anything about G.I. Joe and the quality is only that of decent fan art. The only thing is, if it was fan art the proportions would have been correct. Odd.

It is peculiar.
Tom gets much praise at cons and on twitter. Perhaps it is his affinity for Kirby and Steranko. I can see the slight resemblance to Kirby in style and some motifs like the jet pack flames here. He is a good artist and does ape Kirby's style very well: so this leads me to believe that somewhere the inks and colors are muddying things up. I will collect them because, well that is what I do, but like Cobra files I really am not enthusiastic about IDW's choice of art style here.
