A new publisher could announce themselves, say next month, then schedule the first issue of an anthology to be released, say, February 2023. This lets a creative team begin an immediate backlog of stories between now and then so there's less deadline pressure for a 70-80 page bimonthly title.


Issue #1, part 1, could begin with the Joes' Space Force learning of Cobra's intentions to activate M.A.R.S. Industries' North Star defense satellite. The Joes decide to wreck the satellite but learn it's being protected by Shock Troopers and Space B.A.T.S. North Star falls and in I1-P2, the Joes' arctic team begins a pursuit to the predicted crash site while battling Destro and the Iron Grenadiers. But, Destro gets the advantage and sabotages his own hardware just before it crash lands, making the satellite drop into the sea, in I1-P3, so Baroness and a team of Eels use Cobra submarines to battle Deep Six and the Joes' naval fleet to retrieve North Star in an underwater battle.


Issue #2, part 1, could begin with Cutter and the W.H.A.L.E. team securing a fragment of North Star (courtesy of Deep Six) to the Battle Platform, which a Cobra hydrofoil team attacks but Shipwreck and Leatherneck are able to get the fragment onto a Dragonfly. I2-P2 shows an aerial battle as Wild Weasel and the Cobra Air Force try to steal the fragment in mid-air. In I2-P3, Stalker takes ownership of the fragment at the docks and Clutch, Steeler, and an armored ground fleet guard the Mobile Battle Bunker as they race to the P.I.T. while Zartan and the Dreadnoks try to stop them from reaching the base. They make it, but Zandar (no need for thanks) infiltrates the motor pool disguised as Rock 'N Roll and finds a vulnerability that lets him give access to Firefly and two APCs filled with Cobra troops to attack the P.I.T. from inside, unaware that Lady Jaye has infiltrated Extensive Enterprises as a deep cover member of the Crimson Guard who is about to learn the true purpose for North Star.


Something that sounds complex but keeps the energy moving forward, letting multiple characters -- and not one dang ninja -- flesh out a larger story. And, that's just me brainstorming, not a professional comic book writer whose mind probably plots and twists much better.

This is already better than anything IDW published in the last 140 issues.

I think there's been a lot of really great ideas floating around on this forum. I'd like to think that someone with a say checks in every now and then for some inspiration...

This is better than half the Marvel run too. Can we get Overlord corp hired to write it and Slice there to design the figures? I would be in then.

It wasn't all bad, but thank you for the compliment.

I'm not sure the people with that power actually like the Joes.

Thanks for that. My version of Scarlett wouldn't be popular but I like your thinking on having Slice redesign the characters.
