I had that same reaction to issue #1 and dropped the title after that. The writing was bad and the art was possibly even worse. Not a good combo.

But I love the Dire Wraiths! They're old school ROM! And the Fatal Fluffies are simply misunderstood Wookies in our universe. Wait and see. One will be Pharoid's copilot before we know it!!!

I didn't care for ,but was willing to accept , many things in this comic because , for me , this isn't the REAL Joe comic. That's Larry's comic . So I was willing to go along for the ride with many things as I'm open to creative interpretation . However the story and writing ...ugh. It's worse than the art . Unlike many I don't give a damn about the writers personal beliefs but his writing on this title leaves much to be desired . .....a WHOLE LOT to be desired lol Last edited by Plasticfan; 09-17-2017 at 11:17 PM.. |

I'm really starting to wonder why so many writers find it difficult to write GI Joe in an entertaining way. Perhaps it's because I'm a fan and know what appeals to me and the writers. ..are not ?
For goodness sake ...focus on a blue shirt. Provide some eye candy in the form of troops and vehicles. Spotlight characters. As I'm typing this ...easentially what I'm saying duplicate what was done for the IDW Transformers titles which have been well written for a long time. |

I can't believe I'm the only one who actually likes this series! I would never trade Hama, but I really enjoy having this crazy, fun G.I. JOE title, too. Am I really in the minority? Do you all hate it that much?

I like the idea behind the series, but the art/character design is horrible and the characters are just not good and Sitterson's writing is not crisp, it lacks heart, I can't really describe it. Maybe its how it is described as "The Crown Jewel" sounds like he is trying to be sarcastic and doesn't know or thinks he is pulling one over on the fans.

Not wanting to cause another crapstorm, but, does anyone know if Aubrey Sitterson still has a job with IDW?

I am sorry but I have read just about every Gijoe comic by every publisher and the current series is the first that I just stopped reading. I thoroughly disliked the writing and art. I looked at issue 8 because of Snake Eyes and after reading it that dislike turned to outright disgust at the title. For me it has put a negative spin on the entire Gijoe property that I have enjoyed for many years. I wish I didn't feel this strongly about it, but I do.
