This thread is to be used by HISSTANK.com members to discuss the IDW relaunch of G.I.JOE. We ask that only those who have actually read the book to comment in this thread. We will be doing a special thread for each issue for members who read comics.
Here are a few Spoiler pics to get things going. I really would love to have that Shipwreck as a Figure.

That last pick is essentially the retail version of the Avengers Quinjet with helicopter blades added to where the rocket launcher is.

eh this really does nothing for me. I give them credit for shaking things up but it also has a DD feel during the America Elite relaunch.
Joe is such an easy premise but it really feels like Hasbro and other companies from time to time have real trouble figuring it out.

The club is a cool idea. So this thread is the club? And each issue gets it's own thread? Or will the club stay in one thread? Thanks!

Jay I'm not sure. If you guys want one thread per issue per title I can do that. If we want to keep one long thread we can do that as well.

I'm down for this. I'll make sure I get #1 tomorrow.
I read on Generals Joes that Hast Tag's real name is Aruna Singh. Is that true? If so, is this some nod to Arune Singh the Marvel PR/Community guy who is on WOJM?

I don't really have anything new to say so i will just copy and paste my review.
I was able to grab a copy of GIJOE #1 at the Comic Book Shop Launch Party. Here is my honest opinion on the first issue, the good the bad and the ugly. This review will contain many spoilers so if you do not wish to know the full content of issue #1 do not read on. We all have seen the 5 page preview located here: G.I JOE #1 Relaunch 5 Page Preview - GI Joe News From that 5 page preview you can gather what the core G.I.Joe team will look like. General Colton has taken over high command from General Hawk. I have already read a few people complaining about that but why should it matter? Colton seems to be a cool character to have in place of Hawk, and in my Joe universe it fits. Generals get moved around all the time from command authority and I'm glad to see Colton back. Duke, Roadblock, Doc, Cover Girl, Shipwreck, Tunnel Rat and Quick Kick. So the core team is made up of these 6 G.I.Joe's with Duke in the lead. Hashtag is the teams official connection to the media. She is a college student who owns a popular blog and is enrolled in R.O.T.C. at her college. She is also an ARMY brat, unarmed civilian attached to the most elite counter terrorist unit the USA has. It makes no sense at all why they would allow a teenager to enter a war zone to directly blog about it to the world. Absolutely Ridiculous! Apparently Cover Girl agree's and lets Duke know how she feels about that issue. The good news is on that front, she has a very small part in the first issue and quickly fades away into the background doing very little harm to the rest of the story. I would expect once the core fans start reading the comics she will be killed off or relieved of duty with extreme prejudice. I had high hopes that IDW had created a new useful G.I.Joe but that is not the case. DOC is the daughter of ARAH DOC. This was not directly connected in words but seriously implied. ARAH DOC was shown with the new Female DOC giving his daughter hot-zone medic, combat advice. Unlike what they did with Colton (that I liked) this was an awful way to connect the new with the old. So ARAH DOC is to old now to go on missions with the G.I.Joe team but Shipwreck, Cover Girl, Duke, Tunnel Rat, Roadblock etc.... are still in their prime and fighting on. Rookie Mistake. On the bright side of that coin the new DOC looks like she will be an interesting addition to the G.I.Joe team and one that will be part of the core so we will hopefully get to see development of her character. Shipwreck has a note worthy addition or modern update to his gear load-out. I don't think anybody here will be upset to see that the Polly we all know has changed into a useful weapon. Polly is now a small flying drone that helps the team see the battlefield. Awesome idea, I love it. This is a perfect example of what the new book is doing right. I would also love to see this made into a figure. So far the Duke persona is being scripted well and I can't complain. I like the idea and attitude that Cover Girl has. It's also implied that Duke and Cover Girl are sleeping together and have a personal relationship. There is not a lot to say about Roadblock except you can tell the artist likes this character. He is drawn really well, with the right amount of emotion, and his combat action looks good. The Skystorm V.T.O.L. that is used in the first issue looks like it will be the main transportation for the Joe Team. That would be great if it did not look like a direct K.O. of the Avengers Jet. the only difference is it changes into a chopper. I hope that gets the boot and they start using something more original. It looks nice and is drawn well but every time I look at it I get distracted and think Avengers. W.O.R.M.S. and Maggot = Doing it right. The main battle that takes place in the first issue is between the G.I.Joe unit with the Skystorm V.T.O.L. vs. a Unit of W.O.R.M.S. with a Maggot. More of this is what I want to see. Even tho the colors were a bit muted this is what G.I.Joe vs. Cobra is about....Combat! The Baroness full page art on the last page = Doing it right. Overall I will give the first issue a C+. No matter what they would have tried somebody was going to complain about it. I think once we get past the first few issues and they get reader feedback it has the potential to be a good run. But please do your homework IDW team, the fans will be watching your every move. Art gets a B. That's my honest opinion and in no way is my view better then the next fan, Give the new book a try and see for yourself.

I really think one thread per title is going to enrich the discussion. A thread per issue might just crowd the forums. Anybody else up for a Joe thread, a Special Missions thread, and a Cobra thread?

Really not impressed... Baroness is suddenly Cobra again, and her tits have quadrupled in size... Don't remember reading an issue that explains these sudden changes.
And the personality changes are pretty bad. And hash tag? I thought you guys may have been exaggerating. But wow. |
