Amongst all the veterans that have returned home from our most recent wars, there's the next Larry Hama, I hope. Last edited by AWOL; 06-07-2023 at 09:29 PM.. |

Not sure if Brian Shearer served but he's got an '80s history, is a proven writer, and has worked on the Joes/Transformers comics for years and years now. I'd put him in that age group. |

Interesting! I agree that 155 is a masterpiece, and I appreciate the “street cred” a vet brings to a series, but I tend to pick up all the war comics I can, and I often find that many written by vets are too “heavy” for my tastes, or get bogged down in details/accuracy that slow the story down too much. Somehow I still forgive Hama for the exposition (“that’s a Colt pattern 1911A1 chambered in 45ACP; you can’t shoot because it’s not cocked and locked…”), but if anyone else does that, it drives me crazy.
I really liked Dixon’s run, as well as Allor’s. I even liked Traviss’ take! For ARAH, I’d like a writer who understands the characters, knows military history and keeps up with current events, keeps Joe in that sweet spot of 5-10 years ahead of us in tech, and has a decent military advisor to keep him/her in the lanes. Oh, probably need to keep DD employed so 300+ issues of continuity stay on track too. |

Allor's first crack at the Joes (the "Siren's Song" story-arc) introduced the mother-son combo of Siren and Issac, which Traviss then focused on in her run. Ultimately, I found their stories pretty boring. Van Lente's run was the most fun, imo. I liked how he made references to nearly every era of G.I. Joe. Costa and Gage told some very poignant stories. Not sure if their's is the right tone for a toy property, though. |

To avoid any confusion, I won't dismiss a war-comic if it isn't written by a veteran. I just appreciate the authenticity that having served (especially during a war) brings to said stories.

No worries. We've had enough discussions to know that you weren't clutching your pearls (or beaded chain, in this case). It's a discussion forum. By stating your reasons, you might sway the thoughts of others who hadn't looked at the prospect from your POV.
