Heh Destro's face looks weird there. Otherwise would be a great cover.

Destro looks kind of odd with the fur collar. I have never really been a fan of Howard Chaykin.

I kinda liked his stuff 20 years ago. Now....I wish he'd just concentrate more on writing rather than art.

I've gone back and decided to re-read the 155 page comic series to try and get the foul taste of Rise of Cobra out of my mouth. What I re-discovered was the incredible writing of Larry Hama. You have to READ these books, not flip through them like with the new IDW stuff. I can go through a book of the new GIJoe stuff from IDW in about 5 minutes, it take s a good 20-30 minutes to get through Larry's classic stuff. I'm done with the IDW stuff unless Larry's writing it. The first half dozen issues of the new Joe comic could have been condensed into 1 book and at $3.99 an issue, it's just not worth it.
GIJoe origins with Larry is another story. |

Vintagehero - I've noticed the same thing too. I'm reading the original marvel run to my 5 yeard old son, and it takes a good bit of time to get through. The writing is so much better, but there are very significant differences in the art and page layout that are just as critical to this difference. First, there were a LOT more panels in the older books. Now, you have 5 or 6 on a page, where it wasn't uncommon to have 9 or more in the original books, where each one showed a scene or dialogue. Second, the art was completely different. The characters were drawn, as with the critical set pieces, but it was VERY rare to see a background fully developed. The artists in the current books draw as much detail in each panel as what was on the original covers!
Spend less time fully drawing the useless stuff and give us more action and story. I don't care to see the complete details of Mainframe's house. Show me him, his computer, and desk, and draw a outlined wall! More action, less crap that doesn't advance the story. Jon W. |

It is so cool to see Robert Atkins art coming to fruition. We got to meet him at the Chicago Comic con and him and his sister are the friendliest people. It's cool to see that artwork in color. We saw it in B/W. Anyone know who is w/ Beachhead on that cover?
