I was still buying this series, mainly because of the hearty laughs we were getting out of it. But alas, making fun of the demise of our fave toy property was getting old. My son just greenlit dropping the series, so no #7 for me. Yay!

It would bother me more if it was the original series continuity, but since it isn't, I don't really have any stake in any these characters. When they first killed Chuckles, I did not feel it the same as when DDP did it back in the day. This series has actually killed quite a few characters which would usually honk me off in the old days. Grand Slam did come back from the dead in the current series, though I could care less either way. I'm just enjoying the ride for now and seeing how far this takes us.

I promised myself I wouldn't go back, but I did glance at the most recent issues. I didn't even read Issue 5 because I couldn't deal with Conley's bizarro-world artwork. Milonogianis' sketch-anime thing is still inferior, but I can at least live with it. MASK and Revolutionaries both have art that is not superb but is at least on par with other comic artists. I'm not sure why GI Joe is going this direction.
I've already complained about GI Joe moving away from military subject matter and embracing giant underground furries. I'm still not on board with this, but I will refrain from beating that particular horse. What I will say is that I can see they are definitely trying with the Rock'n Roll - Grand Slam story line. I really appreciate the character focus on R-n-R and the way he tries to reconcile his guilt. I do not appreciate him turning into a giant monster, but this series already jumped the shark so... whatever. I always liked Duke so I'm glad to see him again. Also happy with how Skywarp is coming along. Can't wait for the day he finally lets R-n-R fly him. |

Maybe they will fix his teleportation power and then Rock N Roll can have a real ride!

Just got this...please, make it stop.
Somehow the art is worse. Maybe the artist have kids and they help draw. Not sure. I tried. When Doc Jr snagged Rock N Roll with her Mr Fantastic tentacle stretch Go Go Gadget fingers... Predictions: Skywarp gains his teleportation power back and save RNR. Quick Kick beats Snake Eyes, who takes a dive. Basically think 'Snake Eyes: the Origin' with QK playing the part of Scarlett. SE doesn't need to prove he's the best. QK needs it. Anyway, I guess I offer that to prove I did try on this series. I think I care too much for the Joe canon for this series. They're changing too much for my taste...even if the art and silliness from the TV show weren't there. |

While this series is really horrible, I kinda like what they've done with Quick Kick. Salvo is an interesting take too. Making the obnoxious jerky character that no one could possibly like a giant female version of a D-list Joe just works for me.
Those two are about the only thing that keeps me reading this book. Hate all the tentacle creature nonsense. Haven't read whatever books lead up to this so I'm a little lost. Any series with so many female joes that I love should be an automatic win in my book but this is only barely tolerable. All the Scarlett, Cover Girl, Lady Jaye, Helix and female versions of Doc, Dialtone and Salvo in the world couldn't save this. I wouldn't mind seeing this Salvo live on and make her way into another series down the road. |

Okay, okay...I bought this issue because the series is ending, and I figured so close to the end, I might as well get it. Besides, I trade my Joe comics for figures when I'm done, so I figured my buddy should read the ending, since we know it's coming. Anyways, to my point:
Just one more reason I hate the writing and illustrating in the new Joe book. Both me and my 15 year old son immediately turned into Beavis and Butthead when we saw this... Enlarged and in charge? E-freakin'-gad.

Well to be fair, you know what they say: "You can tell by the size of their feet." Rock 'n Roll had to be happy for a moment. Too bad no lady Fluffies were around! Buhahaha!
