I currently have the "GI Joe" series, "GI Joe-Origins", and "GI Joe-Cobra" and I find them all to be quite enjoyable and well writen. "Cobra" is over till August and I think "Origins" and "GI Joe" only have one comic left till their break as well.

All three are good stories and intend to keep buying them.

Clearly you haven't seen what they're doing with Transformers of late....

Don't get me started!

Everything Simon Furman was building for two years, all the planning and sub-plots and build-up -- all destroyed by that wretched abomination that is All Hail Megatron!!! Glacial in its pace, idiotic in its premise, inaccurate in its character portrayals -- except for the absolutely beautiful art by Guido Guidi, it is everything a Transformers comic should never be!!

And as a secondary "Don't Get Me Started," I absolutely loathe Shane McCarthy's "super-awesome bad-ass bestest-Autobot-ever" Mary-Sue character, Drift. The day he dies a slow, painful death will be a happy one for me. And what's up with the pointless and unnecessary conversion of Peceptor from a thoughtful, absent-minded scientist into a giant-cannon-toting killer? Was there any call for that from anyone?!? "I know -- instead of using someone who already exists and fits this role, I'll just totally change an exisiting character to fit my needs!!!" Please!!

I would hope and pray that Shane McCarthy never touches the Transformers again, but advance solicits from IDW already indicate that's not the case. I can instead only hope that he'll be sidelined in favor of either giving Furman the main story back, or bringing in the guys who wrote Dreamwave's amazingly good ongoing Transformers book -- McDonough and Patyck, their names were -- wrote every character, without fail, as if they'd just stepped out of either the G1 cartoon or comic!

Hmm... I seem to have "gotten started" despite myself. So, how about those IDW Joe comics, eh?

Welcome back Lehsreh.

I've gotten all the IDW comics so far and I've liked all of them, including the movie prequels. I was getting a little behind lately and did some catching up this weekend. The COBRA series was good, though maybe a little darker than I like Joe to be. I think Snake Eyes is being used very well. The reboot has brought mystery back to this character and they aren't over using him like the second half of the Marvel series or the Devils Due series.

I also read the last 2 comic pack issues (Tunnel Rat and Shockwave issues) by Hama, and those weren't nearly as good as the IDW stuff.

Good to see you back !

I like em'
Yes they have a slow pace to them but, I am all about story anyway! Action is nice but it isn't always necessary to keep my intrest! I will continue to collect them as long as they are produced!

I liked the Helix comic, I felt it was WAAAYYY too short though, and I for the most part like the main new Joe comic, it's not bad, but I just wish they were longer, both of them.

Origins looked pretty cool too, haven't bought any.

I have no interest in the movie related stuff so I can't say about them.

Also: Female Dial-tone, unlike most Joe fans, I totally dig and welcome the change. Even when I was a kid, I absolutely HATED Dial-Tone. His outfit's design, his dumb back pack, his mustache, the colors the figure's uniform were. Generally ugly figure (in my opinion).

I'd much rather have a young, female GI JOE then some old creeper in a crappy sweater with a big ugly back pack.
