To say Lady Jaye is dead is laughable. I bought a figure of her in the toyline and her filecard mentioned no such death. The mail in offer said Doc was captured by Cobra, but yet he's dead in the comic, so which is it? Heh.
The bottom line, GIJoe is all about iconic characters that surpass any particular media. I truly believe that. I'm not saying someone is taking a dirt nap just because of some long past comic from the 80s.
I do hope the comic does a complete reboot so we can finally have a fresh take on the property. Its time for the GIJoe comic to seek out new ground, not living in the nostalgia of the Hama-verse. That story is DONE and 'picking up' after 155 is pointless, completely pointless. It would just be another splitter verse that always lives in the shadow of Hama, with people rationalizing, hey, its not as bad as DD's run. Whoopee!
My Joe verse is a lot of the Sunbow toon, with a little of DIC, S6, and a bit of the comics thrown in for spice. I feel Sunbow had the best characterization, voice work was topnotch, and it cut through the crap, Cobra was always trying to take over the world!
