Issue 300 can't come soon enough.

Will 300 officially be the end?

After stating that I probably wouldn't read #290, I admit that curiosity got the best of me and read it last night before I went to bed. While I'm not a fan of the artist, I didn't hate this issue. The action was good and the comment about Revanche having sleeper agents piqued my interest.
I'm not at all bothered by the fact that the Oktober Guard, a fictional but *Russian* special ops unit, is being featured with everything going on right now, but I wonder how others might react. The teaser art for #291 was amusing, though I think we're all over Mindbender and brainwave scanner. And I see that Gallant is back to, presumably, finish off the IDW run starting next issue, so that will be a nice upgrade from some of the bad and inconsistent art we've been getting as of late. |

It really is too bad that Destro's assault on the Blue Ninjas wasn't the actual end of them.
This basically served to tick the boxes for fixing all the continuity errors of the Oktober Guard. It's barely satisfying but with Diana Davis onboard at least Larry has a solid understanding of what plot holes he created with his multiple attempts to address the Oktober Guard mistake. This issue does manage to completely reframe the various OG member's understandings of what is up with who is dead and who is a robot. Every time Larry tried to fix it before, he just made it worse, and at least this one straightens all that out. That's all I can say about it. It is unfortunate to be giving so much time to such a tedious matter so close to the end of the series.

Fair point. Similarly, I was very disappointed with the run of crappy issues leading up the end of the Marvel run. I do get the sense that the last 10 IDW issues will be one big arc. Whether or not it is well thought out is another story (no pun intended). It would behoove IDW editorial to get more involved and work side by side with Larry in crafting a satisfying ending to this series. I can't tell you the last time I was truly satisfied with the conclusion to an ARAH story arc.

Does it have to end though? What if they just end it like a regular comic and that is it. You can't tell its the end of the run just the end of the story in the book. They leave it open.

The reason I want to see it end is because, to me, this is the definitive core GiJoe narrative above all others. I'd like to know how it ends so I can tell people how the story of GiJoe ends, and so I get to know.

It doesn't matter to me. To me this run and the old marvel run don't really go together.

Then it would really be just like the end of any other version of GiJoe for the most part.
