I haven't stopped reading them... but Zartan with a scarf in the new series, and Zandar without Zarana in ARAH, both really bother me.

This, so much of this. The Cobra series brought me back, and the completist in me has kept me buying ARAH, but it's painful oh so frustrating and painful to see the same damn tropes and plotlines and silly characters trotted out again and again. Could someone competent please take over the ARAH universe already? Larry set the template, but he is nearly thirty years past his prime.

What are you talking about? How can you give up on a company that has given up on you?
I have bought and read every hardcover G.I. Joe: The IDW Collection volume they have put out. They haven’t put out a new one in what seems like years. I’ll never get to finish what I have begun, it seems, because they won’t let me. |

I agree with this. The hook for me is that despite it all, somehow Larry works something in that catches me again, probably by total accident. The post you quoted mentioned the death of Dr Burkhart plot. However, in that storyline, Larry used the character of Long Range (a throw away driver) fleshed out as a pretty cool sniper. It's those little things that keep me hanging on waiting for more of those old obscure characters to be fleshed out. The bit about the "same damn tropes and plotlines and silly characters trotted out again and again" is why I am more accepting of the newly started Paul Allor book than most. I don't expect it to be the same thing as much as others do. I like the renegades vibe and kinda look forward to seeing how it develops.

I gave up on the IDW continuity when they ruined the Costa and Dixon runs with Revolution and the Sitterson comic, which I absolutely hated. I have kept up with Hama but have many of the same complaints as others. Hate the Dawn/Throw down Snake Eyeses (?). Staying with the Allor comic, but the art is not helping.

I loved what Larry did in the 80s/90s with Joe and Wolverine, but he's never been able to duplicate his success with anything else. I remember when he was the new Batman writer about 20 years ago. I was really excited to see what he'd do with the character. I just remember it being awful and stopped buying it after about 3 months. Around the same time, I picked up the complete run of Nth Man at a comic con. I was excited to read it cause Larry always seemed particularly proud of it. It sucked. I mean, it really really sucked. It got canceled after only 16 issues or so, but it was still a hell of a chore to force myself to get through them. |
