G.I. Joe (IDW) (Comic Book) | comment |
Debuting in October 2008, IDW Publishing's G.I. Joe is a ground-up reboot of Hasbro's classic Real American Hero franchise, set in a Darker and Edgier, more "down-to-Earth" universe in the same vein as their 2005 Transformers reboot. Primarily driven by Chuck Dixon and Mike Costa, with contributions from Larry Hama, Fred Van Lente, Karen Traviss and Aubrey Sitterson, IDW's Joe can be divided into five "seasons" corresponding to the volumes of the main title. | |

Canon Foreigner: Quite a few; the most notable are Brainstorm, Helix, Mad Monk and Hashtag. Enforced in volume 5, as writer Aubrey Sitterson was made to turn a character he intended to be a new version of classic Joe Big Ben into a new character, Spitfire. | |

G.I. Joe (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Compared to the cartoon, hoo boy. All members of G.I. Joe, with the exception of General Hawk, are listed as KIA and are all officially dead. The Joes regularly use lethal force when necessary. Cobra soldiers are shown to be quite capable of killing the Joes in return. Cobra is shown to be an effective organization that regularly uses torture, psychological manipulation, death, and even weapons of mass destruction when doing so will further their goals. Characters on both sides die. All of this is justified since the Joes are highly trained black-ops soldiers, and Cobra is a terrorist organization. | |

His face would have been restorable if he hadn't taken off to rescue the other members of the Joes on their mission against Chimera; and then, at the climax of the arc, he has his head set on fire. We don't ever see what he looks like under the mask, but it's certainly not pretty. | |

From Bad to Worse: After the death of the first Commander at the hands of the GI Joe secret agent Chuckles, Cobra goes nuts, forgoing its obsession for secrecy. the Council that governs and funds Cobra states that whoever kills the most Joes becomes the next Cobra. The Joes lose two major military bases, their submarine, and countless teammates. This causes them to suffer drastic budget cuts. THEN, Krake becomes Cobra Commander, and within two weeks he proceeds to wipe out a country, destroying its countryside, evicting or killing its citizens and nuking its cities. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
G.I. Joe (IDW) (Comic Book) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Deep-cover operative Chuckles and his handler Jinx try and infiltrate Cobra. Jinx is discovered and Chuckles has to kill her(after falling in love with her) to prove his loyalty to Cobra. Eventually Xamot reveals that he knew Chuckles was a Joe all along, and basically forced him to kill her just for the hell of it. Chuckles, however, eventually impresses Cobra Commander enough that CC hands him a loaded rifle and gives him permission to shoot Xamot. Chuckles mutters "Yo Joe", then swings around and kills Cobra Commander, then finishes off his mission by detonating a Cobra warhead and destroying the base, costing them hundreds of millions of dollars in materiel and personnel. While this does put Cobra into flux for a while, it's a bad sort of flux, where all the top rank are battling for control, and when one of them eventually becomes the new Cobra Commander, he's much less concerned with Cobra's public image and begins to take the fight to G.I. Joe in a big way. | |

Conservation of Ninjutsu: When Cobra forces first appear in the series, a single "blueshirt" Cobra Trooper (not even a Viper) neatly mops the floor with Snake Eyes. Pretty soon, though, the Joes are easily taking down Cobra forces, and it's clear that their only advantage is the M.A.S.S. device and their ability to catch the Joes by surprise. | |
