Since 1994, the word "CLONE" in comics has had a bad connotation (see: "Spider-Man, Amazing"). I'm a little surprised that CLONES have suddenly become such an integral part of the G.I. Joe mythos. Previously, it seems like the concept of "cloning" was only used around Serpentor.
The Brainwave Scanner and cloning have become plot crutches or fix-alls. Much like some writers paint themselves into a corner with comic book plots and suddenly use a BOMB to reset stuff... Hama's been using those two.

Have comics ever tried having a different writer every issue, like an episodic TV show? It worked well for Star Trek: TNG.

Didn't Larry not like Serpentor back in the day?

- guest writers on a book such as in the 90s when Spawn had since guest writers like Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman. But more often it is the other way around - with a consistent writer and guest artists. - weekly batman / superman/ spiderman / x-men events during the 90s where a large story such as knightfall is told across 4 or so books with different writers. It makes for a harder writer vision and means that editorial need to do more heavy lifting for consistency. Instead of the book being writer led it is editorial led and generally make for less interesting reading as it is less organic, plot first, character second. - anthology titles like legends of the dark knight or gi joe frontline. Where someone comes in to do a one and done (or small multi part story). This is generally a writer / artist led approach. And what you dont get is any sense of a singular story being told. Normally self contained and not advancing any larger story. Last edited by FunkyBunch; 12-14-2022 at 01:16 PM.. |

The norm is that a writer will be on a book for a good few issues as the consistent voice of the story. There are a few examples of multi writers that come to mind:

Spider-man did during the clone saga when they split up the story over the 4 to 5 books that came out each month resulting in jarring changes in art style and inconsistent tone almost every week. They tried it again after the horrible One More Day storyline by having a writers room with several writers, it didn't work well then either.

The point of different writers is to have each one work on a stand-alone story. |
