It is still a licensed Hasbro property based on a toy line so there will probably be some constraints as to what can be done. I doubt it would be an exercise in graphic violence, cursing and gore.

Apparently, Skybound has a hand in the multi-media adaptations of their properties. Potentially, their Joe stories could be adapted into a live-action or animated series.

I hate to say it, but either right the ship of the ARAH comic or have two, 'classic ARAH' continuing with Hama and a second modern reboot. GI Joe has been military sci fi fantasy for years, ever since the ARAH days started, but by god has it gone off the rails.

Right. I would welcome a higher degree of military realism and heightened stakes, but there is a lot of reason to withhold that expectation at this time.

I'd just like to say that Devil's Due lost my business when they literally asked for a list of characters they could kill and pretty much did just that. Death needs to mean something, even if it's just a bunch of toys that they don't have the trademarks for anymore.

DDP lost my business over mishandling Zarana & Zandar. Eight straight years of Zarana being wallpaper superglued to Zartan even after Zandar was nearly killed. Not a good way to write a character. I'm sick of the Zartan's sister/nursemaid/girlfriend/biggest fan routine every single writer likes to do. Hasbro, delve into her fascinating relationship with her twin, Zandar!

I would like to see the DDP approach and continue with this continuity but without Hama (or have him as a story consultant like Eastman has served with the TMNT comics at IDW). I love Hama, but he isn't getting any younger, and we could use some fresh ideas to the continuity. Heck, I still prefer the DDP continuation to the current Hama continuation.
I expect a complete reboot, and I will understand if they don't want the baggage and constraints of a past continuity, but I feel most fans want this continuity to live, which is why IDW's continuity struggled to sell after Hama returned with his. If they do want to reboot, then it would be the best for them as a business if they don't have any comics with Hama or this old continuity, because it will only kill whatever reboot they would try.

IDW messed-up by having several books going at the same time, i.e, Dixon, Costa/Gage, etc. If Skybound gets the license, I hope they stick to one book. I'd prefer a new take on G.I. Joe (make him an individual character leading a team), but won't be mad if they do yet another ARAH reboot. |

I'd be in favor of an ARAH reboot but rather than make it a modern telling, place it back in the early 80s and go from there in real-time. Tell a retro story, with retro technology, that evolves, and let the characters age with the world they're in. Take inspiration from the other continuities (Marvel, Sunbow, DDP, etc.) where they're really good, but introduce plenty of new characters along the way as well, and don't be afraid to deviate, reimagine, or kill-off some sacred cows.
