No, to me my universe is set in the marvel run of the series - with maybe some of the stuff from DDP, any "alternate" or (future) movie verse will not be incorporated into mine.

If IDW reboots it and resurrects dead Joes, I'm done with it. That's what made it 'real' for me, these are combat soldiers, albiet highly trained ones, there are bound to be casualties. Let the dead Joes, and Cobra's RIP, and carry on with who's left. If they resurrect them, this comic is no better than the superhero comics that keep resurrecting dead heroes over and over again (half the reason I don't read the majority of Marvel and DC titles anymore). Regardless of whether or not you liked the DDP continuity (I for one thought the majority of it was good, though it did have it's bad moments) it carried on where Marvel left off, the Joes were older, wiser, some fatter (Bazooka), and believe it or not Larry Hama (have you checked out the 25th comic packs?) was not always writing great Joe stories, and the Marvel comics were not always that good (Hello! The majority of the Ninja storylines). IDW would be wise to continue, cause if they reboot, like they did with Transformers (which stinks) I can say they will lose one Joe fan.

what about how many times they have brought back cobra commander, serpentor, storm shadow. they brought back snake eyes billy, mindbender, firefly. they bring these back and nobody seems to mind, thats why i want a reboot. if its going to be realistic why doesnt duke, hawk, flint or colton or any key core characters die beside lady jaye.

besides, i think this will make for much, much better stories. instead of having all the others stories have happened, they can do somewhat similar stories. it would be best if they take into account that most readers will already know a lot of the joe history and characters, so instead of focusing on bringing a new characters out each issue, they can focus on story.

bad thing is, i didnt like what i saw with their transformers. im not talking story, as the art was so bad i couldnt make myself look at the pages long enough to read it.

yeah im a big gijoe comic fan , DDP , MARVEL , well in my joe universe there s 3 continuity s present day( roll bar , wide scope ) some flashback s ( original team ) and a crossover joes vs transformers , that way i can bring back all the dead joes

Not yet - but I probably will ;o) I'll probably utilize cloning technology ala Serpentor to lie why some characters are still alive or somesuch

Actually, a reboot would probably be the only thing that could get me back into reading the comics. I read all of the first Devil's Due series, and about the first 12 issues of America's Elite, but they didn't strike me as "real" Joe comics. They came across more like fan-fiction that happened to be "official" because they had the license-- Though I feel that way about a lot of Marvel and DC comics today, too.

I was upset that IDW rebooted Transformers, because once they got their act together, Dreamwave's ongoing was the number one comic I looked forward to every month. But IDW couldn't continue those stories even if they wanted to because of Dreamwave's bankruptcy proceedings. So I tried their reboot, and found that I really liked it! Not in the same way as I liked Dreamwave, but the storylines that have been building over the past few years definitely keep me coming back for more.

So, yeah... I trust IDW to reboot this thing properly, and I'll check it out with or without Hama's involvement. Though personally, I would rather not see a complete reboot-- My number one choice would be to disregard all the Devil's Due stuff, and have Larry Hama start writing a new series picking up immediately where Marvel's run ended!

Didn't Devils Due already "reboot" GI Joe that with that "reloaded" Crap? If that's any indication fo what we have in store, forget it! And why not reboot the comic, hell, Hasbro has went and rebooted the line, starting right back at 1982. Just think, only about 3 thousand more versions of Snake Eyes, Duke and Cobra Commander as 25th figures before they reboot again! BLAH! I'm about one more dissappointment from giving up collecting! I already buy more Indiana Jones figures on the weekends than I do Joes! If it wasn't for Mastercollector and the Con sets, I would have given up already! As soon as they run out of ARAH and DTC molds and the Con sets switch to 25th Anniversary figures, I'm done!

My Joeverse is based on the Marvel run, everything since then has had no relevance to me at all, so it won't make any difference. Nor will the upcoming movie, for that matter.
