Joe, it cant be all bad. i like it better then sigma six, but then again the only thing related to joe i dont like better then S-6 is extreme which i also watched.

Because DIC was the lowest bidder. I remember reading in an interview somewhere that DIC offered to make Joe cartoons for peanuts compared to what Sunbow was charging.

However, all things aside, they got one thing right. They kept Chris Latta as Cobra Commander (and Morgan Lofting as the Baroness in Operation Dragonfire). It's just too bad they didn't get anything else right!

I have good memories of the DIC one, but just because it featured characters I owned (while the Sunbow one featured characters that appeared almost three years before I started buying Joes).

The thing I wish is that they would officially release the second half of season 2. __________________ Chuck Norris doesn't Tea Bag. He Potato Sacks.

Sonneilon aka 'Paul WS Anderson' ;) Offline --> Posts: 7,751 --> Join Date: Jul 2005	I have to go w/ Sunbow too. But in my situation, just after the movie and the Cobra War in the comic, I was getting out of Joe. When DiC took over, I just couldn't get into it. I was already losing interest in the comic and toywise, well... It was time to grow up. Kids didn't play with toys at that point.

thats the same attitude my friends had. thats why i was left alone . i think thats one reason the dic series didnt go so well also, it was time for most kids to grow up. for boys that ment focusing more time on girls (the greatest evil of all and killer of childhood ). i just wonder what reaction dic would have gotten if there had been no sunbow before it? would it have been more accepted if it and not sunbow had been the one to start the cartoon at first?
