I can't remember who wrote the arc, but the IDW Zartan backstory was all kinds of ridiculous. Some characters work because they're absurd and clever oddities. Trying to make them "dark and gritty" is a failure and the way they handled Zartan proved as much. Tomax/Xamot worked because they were bleak in an insanely bleak story.

He was saving himself for that fine red-haired lass, Scarlett. Haha. I do find the long-standing "relationships" waste the potential of the female characters. They're far more interesting without Flint, Duke, Destro, or Snake-Eyes in the mix. And, I'll add Shipwreck to the mix for Cover Girl's sake.

I credit CD for making Mainframe the "fanboy/everyman" who might finally get the girl and I like how she gradually came around to "appreciate" Mainframe because it let us see him as being equal in contributions to the Joe team when he was far from equal in terms of prowess and bad-assery.

I liked DDP when it first came out. I think they dropped the ball introducing the Red Shadows as something totally different instead of how they were originally portrayed.
Dixon Joe was great. I liked the RAH continuation until probably Snake Eyes was killed. Since then it's been terrible. Long, boring stories that go nowhere, poor art. The stories are not fun or interesting. I'd like to see Joe go back to Marvel. |
