Let me speak on this real quick.

The never created dio, "A Matter of Anti-Matter" fell apart when I saw DOOM. I missed it on the big screen, but after viewing that, I went apenuts. The Snake Eyes/Kamakura 1-shot had already been done and was to be stand alone but I had 20-some people asking, "What happens next???" Uh, hello. THis is Hasbro makes their figures! They throw in an old version, spin the thingy and out pops a new version!

That humor was lost on 99% of the people out there.

The Anti-Matter dio fell part and I created something entirely different. That's when I realized that what I really want to do is NOT just a normal GI Joe adventure. I want to be out there in left-field. In the next city in the next baseball field? As a kid, I always wanted GI Joe to go up against... Well, anything BUT Cobra. That's when I started watching Aliens, Predator and Doom a lot. I mean, A LOT. It's reflected in all my work.

What does Doomsday Machine have to do with anything? Well, the original weapon was... uh... It's a story I've wanted to do for years. But the Island got in the way. Just see how it all plays out.



And yes, I want to be the Paul K Anderson of dios (Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon, Resident Evil). NOT George Lucas but sometimes it feels like that!

Thx for putting up with this. Hope this helps!
