For those that might be curious about the progress on this project, I just sent Houchen Bindery the covers for the run of the new IDW iteration of the series (meaning the one by Dixon, Hama, Gage, etc.). These are based on the discontinued IDW collection series. I divided the run into seven volumes divided at logical breaks in the story (i.e. Cobra Civil War received its own volume). I concluded it with Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra, as it provides a logical ending to the story prior to the merging of the Hasbro properties in Revolution.
Houchen Bindery is doing the covers for the volumes of Hama's run between Marvel and IDW. I just asked them to do uniform volumes based on the first Complete Collection book (olive drab camouflage) to keep it simple. The entire lot should be along by the end of January. I will post pictures when I have them. |

I would love to reread the IDW continuity.

Did anything in the Revolution Era (v5 forward with Sitterson) address these questions? Sorry I was far behind by that point. The amount of crossing-over and interdependencies between Hasbro properties made (and makes) my head spin.

I've only read the plot descriptions on yojoe.com. From what I gather, they never addressed them. They were too busy trying to build their ridiculous shared universe. Dummies.

The missed opportunity there is really mind-blowing. The sorry built by Dixon, Gage, Hama, and the others was a sprawling, multi-year saga that deserved a proper ending. I know Dixon a bit (not claiming we are BFFs, but I have spoken to him on more than one occasion), and I asked him if IDW told him they could end their story with Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra before the crossover madness. He said that they just moved on to Revolution without notice. They weren’t told to get to a stopping point. So Agent if Cobra is as close as we’ll ever get.
The level of cross-cutting in Revolutions was so bloody confusing that I don’t see how anyone who wasn’t a committed Hasbro fanatic could have kept up. Back when I was trying, I decided to just wait for the trades instead of mapping it all out. I was still getting Sitterson’s G.I. Joe (v5), but then I, without planning to, missed the first couple of issues of Scarlett’s Strikeforce. Everyone knows what followed with Sitterson. Obviously, he’s apologized and moved on, so I’m not trying to dig up a grave. But it was unfortunate that the series just faded out without an ending.

No idea. I don't think he knows either.

Krake made an appearance in one of the "Unicron" issues. He's sitting there quietly with all the other bad guys. No explanation where he's been.
