Is it just me or does Hama's responses lately not make any sense? He was asked what Scarlett's sister Siobahn was up to and he replied that she does not exist in his Joe. What? He created the character. Also when asked about if we would see a list of several Joes he replied a few a few would be seen soon but the rest were kind of dismissed like we would never see them. I get we won't see them soon but why would dismiss any characters long term. We can't use established characters but we can bring some back from the dead after 20 years?

It's called a Retcon... something I am NOT a fan of.

I wouldn't call that a ret-con, just a poor way to avoid manning up to a small mistake.

Here is the sad truth:
He forgot what he wrote. He didn't bother to read it because he wasn't that attached to it. For years he dismissed it and minimized it in his self-esteemation. Now we are in an age where comic books are hugely marketable, and he has come into his own as one of the greatest voices of the 80's, and he must now reconcile certain things, including how much reverence he affords himself as he draws closer to death... And what a potential cash-cow this can be in his waning days since he is the Godfather of G.I. Joe and owns most of what's great about ARAH. He's just doing his thing, man. He doesn't care about continuity, never has. He does his best, writes a page a day, let's not ask him to change now. We might decide in 20 years that this arc was great! |

What characters did he say were dismissed or what issue was this comment in? I would like to read what he said myself.

Larry retracted his answer to the letter in issue 210 about Siobahn. I can't find where now, but he said that she does exist.

Now you know why he decided to write file cards to keep the characters straight.

That answer on Siobhan had me checking the writer on those issues.
That to me is the funniest part J.J. Scarlett's file card written by Hama says she has like 7 brothers, I thought she was supposed to be the only girl. In 213: It would be awesome to see your take on character/figures that haven't appeared in comics yet like Overlord, Big Boa, Gnawgahyde, Scoop, Tracker and Mercer... The response: There are possibilities for Big Boa and even Gnawgahyde but not so much for the others. Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong but it sounds he doesn't want to include these valid ARAH characters, he is not being asked about Nemesis Enforcer, or someone else's creation like Firewall. Also in issue 213, when asked about Cobra Island, he responds with a remark about raising it. Am I missing something here, when did it sink? |

Yeah he said in 214 or 215 that Cobra Island is gone. What happened? I thought it was just abandoned. Scoop has appeared in past Marvel issues. Tracker along with all other Joe's that haven't been shown before appears at Snake Eyes' funeral ceremony.
