Hey gang. I thought i had seen a thread on this before but must not searching correctly.

Deadman,
This is the reading order from the seven volumes of the IDW Collection. It cuts off with the end of the Cobra Civil War. So, if you want you could use that and pick it up with the Cobra Annual 2012 (#104 in your list). I'm going to do a bind of my own set after I finish ARAH. I'm ending mine with Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra because what follows is, while not technically a reboot, a radical shift in tone and a reboot in all but name. Anyway, the list (and if this is wrong or IDW dropped the ball IYO, feel free to chime in): Vol. 1 G.I. Joe Origins 0 (from G.I. Joe #0) G.I. Joe Origins 1 G.I. Joe Origins 2 G.I. Joe Origins 3 G.I. Joe Origins 4 G.I. Joe Origins 5 G.I. Joe Origins 8 G.I. Joe Origins 9 G.I. Joe Origins 10 G.I. Joe Origins 6 G.I. Joe (v1) 0 (from G.I. Joe #0) G.I. Joe (v1) 1 G.I. Joe (v1) 2 G.I. Joe (v1) 3 G.I. Joe (v1) 4 G.I. Joe (v1) 5 G.I. Joe (v1) 6 Vol. 2 G.I. Joe Origins 7 Cobra (v1) 0 (from G.I. Joe #0) Cobra (v1) 1 Cobra (v1) 2 Cobra (v1) 3 Cobra (v1) 4 Cobra Special: Tomax and Xamot 1 G.I. Joe (v1) 7 G.I. Joe (v1) 8 G.I. Joe (v1) 9 G.I. Joe (v1) 10 G.I. Joe (v1) 11 G.I. Joe (v1) 12 G.I. Joe Origins 13 G.I. Joe Origins 14 G.I. Joe Origins 12 Vol. 3 G.I. Joe Origins 11 G.I. Joe (v1) 13 G.I. Joe (v1) 14 G.I. Joe (v1) 15 G.I. Joe: Origins 15 G.I. Joe: Hearts and Minds 1 G.I. Joe: Hearts and Minds 2 G.I. Joe: Hearts and Minds 3 G.I. Joe: Hearts and Minds 4 G.I. Joe: Hearts and Minds 5 G.I. Joe (v1) 16 G.I. Joe (v1) 17 Cobra II 1 Cobra II 2 Cobra II 3 Cobra II 4 Vol. 4 Cobra Special: Erika 2 G.I. Joe Origins 16 G.I. Joe Origins 17 G.I. Joe Origins 18 G.I.

The Origins issues written by Larry Hama are completely separate from his ARAH continuity?

That is out of continuity because it was meant to be the "unwritten" ending to Marvel's ARAH which the title didn't ever get, and theoretically would set up the already-existing DDP relaunch of the ARAH title. When Larry came back and picked up the title with 155.5 at IDW, it sort of overwrote Origins because it's the same time period. Continuing 156+ meant that Origins doesn't need to exist. Actually I read the two continuations back-to-back. I recommend it if you have them. Some of the events are very similar between them, it's kind of weird because I doubt that Larry referenced Origins when he wrote 155.5 and up, but the reader can see how his imagination sort of sets up the same events anyway despite the large gap in time passing. This is based on my memory from about four years ago so I hope that's still accurate to everyone else but it's how I remember it.

I haven’t read much of the GI Joe IDW comics bar crossovers and specials, this is good to know! ;)
I’m big on the Marvel run, US and UK and Battle Action Force, gave though Image and Dark Horse mini a run too, getting back issues on IDW are hard, do wanna get deep in it though, might have to save up for the volume trade paperbacks, awesome thread! Infestation was pretty awesome, read all those crossovers! |

The IDW Origins comics Hama wrote are part of the IDW continuity as listed above. They intermingle with the main series. This continuity ended after the series was crossed-over with other Hasbro properties and a public spat between one of the writers and several fans resulted in his firing and the continuity's end. It was rebooted after that with a short and concluded series called World on Fire. I hope that answers your question.
You may also be thinking of the Declassified comics from DDP. Hama wrote some of them and tacitly endorsed others. A few of them were not well received or remarked upon by Hama. As such, they are semi-apocryphal but Hama "counts" some of them and so do many fans, as they have yet to be overwritten in ARAH. Last edited by nightwrite; 08-02-2021 at 07:26 PM.. |

The short answer is yes, the long answer is no.
There was the main IDW continuity that was launched when the company acquired the license in 2008. It was written by Larry Hama, Chuck Dixon, Christos Gage, and a few others. It ran until 2015 and then was soft-rebooted in 2016 with the Revolution crossover with other Hasbro properties. The Joe team that appeared during the next year were ostensibly the same one that had appeared in the prior comics, but the tone shifted radically and they were crossed over with the Transformers, M.A.S.K., ROM Space Knight, etc. Then one of the creators got into a protracted dispute with the fans, which resulted in the last series being prematurely canceled. He has since apologized and moved on. No ill will here, just explaining. I ordered the IDW continuity prior to the aforementioned soft reboot for a comic binding project. The last miniseries (Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra) is a good end to the story. The order is printed above. IDW was reprinting the series as such, but it abandoned the line just as it did with the Complete Collections of A Real American Hero. IDW launched a second continuity that went on for 11 issues and was canceled. This was intended to be a new ongoing series, but poor sales resulted in its cancelation. It is available in its entirety in a volume called World on Fire. I haven't read it yet, but some people enjoyed it. It's in the stack on my nightstand. IDW has also launched multiple continuities as miniseries or event comics. The Sierra Muerte miniseries is its own continuity, as is the crossover with the Transformers, as is the crossover with the Street Fighter characters, as are the comics tied into the film franchise, and so on. One of the franchise's quirks is that, absent A Real American Hero, it's been rebooted countless times. ARAH is the only one that has been consistent through the decades. |

In addition to a few of the IDW "sort-of-continuities" nightwrite mentioned GiJoe has also crossed over with Danger Girl, The Six Million Dollar Man, Fortnite, etc. None of these really connect to any continuity or matter in any real sense unless you like the characters they are crossing over with. They also "kind-of-crossed-over" with Star Trek, Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters and a bunch more licensed properties but those crossovers actually really are in IDW continuity if you end up reading them. They are called Infestation and Infestation II but the characters never meet each other, they just deal with the same threats at the same time in their own continuity bubble. Those aforementioned Declassified series include GiJoe Declassified, Scarlett Declassified, Snake-Eyes Declassified, and Dreadnoks Declassified. As far as I'm concerned they are canon to me, but calling them "semi-canon" is probably the correct way to refer to them. Larry only wrote one of those. The Snake-Eyes one takes panels, scenes, and lines directly from his comics and just adds padding around it all.
