JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - Thoughts on the DDP "Reloaded" series

Not being a fan of Marvel's Ultimate concept, I didn't approach Reloaded with open arms, exactly... It was well-written, and the art was good too, but a few times it seemed to be different from the regular series just for the sake of being different. Either that or I just wondered why they didn't use a plot point/scene in the regular one.

I kinda liked the redesigns of some characters on a visual level, most notably Doc and Storm Shadow, but these could have been incorporated into the regular series. Really, the GI Joe brand wasn't really strong enough to support an alternate-reality title alongside the "real" Joes' story so I wasn't surprised when Reloaded went under. An interesting experiment but I can't say I really miss it.
