IDW G.I. Joe Comic Book Sales Figures - Read Order 2019 Place Holder

Thanks for tip, Destro. I know next to nothing about the IDW series.

Thanks so much! I will be reading all the collected volumes from the main title, origins, and Cobra. This helps tremendously!

No problem guys. I'm still working on it, and will add notes to help you out when the list is finished. One thing to note is the sales drop off as we get to 2015. The list is all down hill the further along you get with each year.

Do you really anticipate the series to continue next year? The current run ended in the middle of the story (G.I. JOE) and the final issue of Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra is out today. I'm not very optimistic about this franchise at IDW. I LOVED the Cobra series, but the new stuff really hasn't been getting a lot of traction with readers. Not sure where things will go from here.

I'm just trying to point out the highlights of the run and get people reading again. Many people over looked IDW's work and don't even know what they missed out on. Hopefully IDW and Hasbro can figure out what the direction is for G.I. Joe and we can get back to a solid book.

i REALLY am an uber-fan of larry hama's g.i. joe:arah serialized mythos-despite some of the rough parts. i've been with the classic continuity since the first issue in 1982 and , though, i enjoyed most of ddp's jerwa stuff (except the unwanted intervention of the editors in shorting him at least by two issues to make way for casey), costa's revamp stuff, but, even with revanche, and some continuity mess-ups, ARAH will always be MY g.i. joe canon. i want to see newer figured (especially post-2001 vipers, troops, vehicles, etc.) characters enter his mythos and i want him given a long time to do this. i don't want the revamp to push arah out of PREVIEWS. when arah ends ( and i hope larry is given notice close to a year previous) my canon ends. i wish idw luck but i just don't see myself enjoying joe sharing it's continuity with rom, micronauts, m.a.s.k., tf again, action man, whatever. i want arah to continue until issue 310 and include (even if it is only cameos) most every design from the over fifty year franchise. no aliens, or cobra-la... well, i could even live with cobra-la if it was a different version from the cartoon. i want overlord, wraith, the adventure team, every post-2001 trooper and vehicle wearing the cobra command design. sorry, got carried away but ARAH is the only modern comic that i can still read the same continuity as i read when i was a child. marvel, d.c., = renumbering, revamps, -hell, i can't pick up a spidey or daredevil comic anymore. arah STILL refers to the past (229 did so addressing #10).

I quit buying single issues because I prefer to collect the TPBs. Any data on those?

i have been told by someone "in the know" that the real hama continuity will still be here until 250 with plans to continue after that issue's big event. i've had problems with some of larry's stuff but i like it all better than the ninja force/T2 middle of brainwashing arc finale we got from marvel. the main problem is that no one will explain what or why they hate recent issues and send an e-mail to the address in my signature along with an "ok to print". they read them and quite often use them.

i am still enjoying the classic hama ARAH continuity. the sub-plots are speeding up on answers and i still hope we see more post-2001 toy designs. i tried revolution but g.i. joe just seems ... well, not g.i. joe and it's already messing up on continuity. characters that died earlier in the idw revamp but are now back in the new revolution joe one-shot. i know many of you don't love arah like i do but it's my favorite comic universe.
