One thing a lot of joe fans have clung to since 1995 was the G.I.Joe continuity. Mainly because they've got no real personality and didn't buy health insurance until the OXY CLEAN GUY WHO YELLS A LOT started endorsing it. And now that Devils Due (dudes I never heard of prior to the joe comic) lost that license and some more guys I've never heard of got it and have decided "LOL THIS HERE COMIC BOOK WITH IT'S LAST CHOICE WRITER THAT MARVEL DIDN'T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT TO EVEN BOTHER TEACHING ANYONE ELSE ABOUT THE JOES TO REPLACE HIM" 25+ year old continuity is in need of a reboot.
Nerds hate change. So this is bad news for them, even though the new comic will be written by Larry Hama again, and jerks will still praise him as some amazing fuckin writer even though all 155 issues were to sell some goddamn childrens toys. They weren't even realistic about army problems, do you guys remember the issue where Clutch and Rock N Roll killed a bunch of Cobra soldiers and then trafficked drugs? Or the time Shipwreck wasn't allowed to serve due to the no open gays in the military rule, or the time Flash got PTSD and was shipped back home and then became homeless?
Me neither, and until they do a Joe comic that doesn't suck make mine jokes about Funskool Tripwire and Thomas Wheeler

Remember the comic where Duke came on to Scarlet and she wanted to complain about sexual harassment but she new General Hawk would side with his golden boy so she just kept quiet and dated the dude even though she really loved Snake Eyes who was totally a bad fit for her because he's a loner with PTSD but she's all fucked up because of Duke that she doesn't know any better?
Of course not, that exists only in my diostories. Which exist only in my head and in these comments.
Also how come they never show them changing the oil in the HIgh Speed Sentry tanks? It's something that the people can relate to, like asshole customers who don't want onions on their burgers because they're "allergic," and make you make a fresh burger because they can't just take them off themselves.
Comic books? Are those still around? The only people who buy them are geeks willing to plop $4 on something that can be read in under 2 minutes. Comics are the Terry Schiavo of media...it's way past time to pull the plug.
