I may be a day late a dollar short (as usual posting this, but I just found this on another Joe site -
This is the "B" cover to "GI Joe: America's Elite #36" (sorry, they did not give a picture of the "A" cover) Now a couple of things - 1. This is the 12 of 12 issue of the current "WWIII" storyline, and if this doesn't sum it up, nothing will about DDP loosing the GI Joe lisc. :( 2. At least it does tell us that DDP WILL get to wrap up the WWIII story line one way or another. 3. Where have we seen this cover before? Oh I don't know, how about................................. This is the cover to the Marvel run of GI Joe #155, the final issue of the Marvel run of the series. Again, I am one of the people who are NOT happy to see GI Joe leaving DDP, as I feel they have done some incredible work with the tittle, while still paying respect to the Marvel run. Granted I'm also one of those who have not been happy with the current tittle for the past few months and believe that the WWIII storyline has also gone in the crapper as of late too, but I write a lot of that off as DDP loosing the book too. I AM though one who is NOT in favor of a total re-boot of the series either though. Let's just hope for the best b/c there is not really a whole lot that most of us can do about it anyway. I just hope there there was a pretty big group of people who felt and wondered this same way when DDP took over too though. . s

I am an avid comic collector/reader and I'm also sad to see DDP loose gi joe. This run (imo) was far better than anything since the marvel run. I don't even know why they would want to reboot the comic series. To me it would be like them rebooting the entire marvel universe...

Am I to assume that that is a Herb Trimpe cover? Man that art sucks! I hope Mike Bear got to do the other cover. Really does suck that DDP is losing the license, but I think they should have tried to go out on top atleast and not half-@$$!

They need to try harder than they seemingly did on issue #33 to end this series right. I am fingers downs for a re-boot but I fear we might be subjected to one. So, c'mon, DDP give us three more home runs before calling it a game over, huh?

I've had this sig for over a month. Hasbro has shown great willingness to listen to fans as far as what figures we want, changes to the designs, etc, but I'm fairly certain that Hasbro has no interest in our opinions on how to market their product or create brand unity across the board with the new movie coming out. I hope they do care and listen, but I'm not holding my breath as I suspect that die is already cast.
