I haven't had that much luck finding the Resolute comics, or even digital versions of them. I've found out-of-context scans here on Hiss Tank, but not the full books. There were never trades of them. Here are some pictures from the scans I uploaded to Comic Vine. It's against Comic Vine's rules to post full-page scans of comics to a character's image gallery so I had to trim them. From the Comic Vine description of the GI Joe Resolute comics, they were comics that came with GI Joe action figures. It sounds like it is the same story for this GI Joe A Real American Hero line. It's sort of like the ToyBiz Marvel Legends Figures (I don't know if Hasbro ever did that when they picked up the tab on Marvel Legends), or Mattel's DC Super Heroes line. It sure is. |

Items of note from Joepedia about that Iron Klaw issue:
This comic was only available through Amazon.com as a free download gift when buying G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra on DVD. This story was originally intended to be part of a Resolute-themed Comic Pack, apparently featuring a Crimson Guard and Iron Klaw trooper, though no such pack had been announced when the remaining Comic Packs were cancelled. A prototype (unpainted) Iron Klaw figure was found by HISSTank.com member Gyre-Viper in 2009 revealing well before the Comic images that a Iron Klaw / Resolute Crimson Guard trooper pack was planned. The 2010 JoeCon Hasbro Panel featured a painted prototype of the Iron Klaw figure. A Resolute Crimson Guard figure was planned to be a red Resolute Trooper body (Resolute 5-pack) + Fred Series head & removable helmet (25th Comic Pack Scarface / Fred Series Crimson Guard). The Crimson Guards all have different faces - either Resolute doesn't have a Fred Series, or they've all been recruited from different series. One of the Siegies is named "Larry." Assuming the recruits we meet in the breakroom are the same ones on the training run, Larry is the black guy. For some reason, the download file of this issue has two pages from G.I. Joe #86 embedded beneath the Resolute story pages. Last edited by AWOL; 08-17-2022 at 12:23 PM.. |

I did appreciate that McFarlane toys started doing the page punchers for DC Multiverse. Hasbro should do something similar for Marvel Legends, GI Joe Classified, and Transformers RED & Legacy. |
