    Scarlett and jinx aren't in a relationship kelly thompson cleared the air about that on her newsletter. i never got that feeling after reading it anyway I'm hoping snake eyes gets a mini when the scarlett mini is over, I can't wait to read the gi joe series in November getting it as a belated birthday present to myself since it comes out a day later

      Yes Bro making Snake Eyes's Girlfriend a lesibian is a weird choice. I hope Josh or some good writer and artist would tell a new fresh take on snake eyes. I want him to speak in this continuity and I want him to be a white American. that's What I want. Let's hope at SDCC they announce Snake Eyes's Return in his solo title like Duke.

    Reading Scarlett i felt bored, and believe me i didn't want to be. Although i was on the fence about Thompson i gave it a chance. It had moments of action but even those seemed boring. The story attempted to show how close scarlett and jinx were but if she hadn't said stated she saw her as a sister i also would have assumed they had a intimate relationship. That entire part of the story felt like a Kelly Thompson thing, it was definitely Q-ue-er coded. Anyways, after seeing how many Arashikage ninja she took out kind of nerfed the clan and how dangerous they could be or how overpowered GI Joe will be.

    During NYCC, DWJ said he thought Bumblebee was the weakest Transformer so he got rid of him pretty quickly. He sort of implied that he didn’t like Bumblebee. So as long as DWJ is on the book Bumblebee is not coming back
 maybe only in “flashbacks.”

    Your comment at 10:24 that "We're making money right now" is the understatement of the year. Skybound just completed a 3.8 million dollar Kickstarter campaign for hardcover omnibus reprints of Larry Hama's original Gi Joe: ARAH run. Good on you Wes for mentioning the Kickstarter campaign at the end of this video. Why have you not made another video about the Kickstarter campaign? It seems like everybody in the midst of praising the Energon universe do not seem to be giving the same praises for Larry Hama's continued run of GI Joe: ARAH. Much like many of us, I am looking forward to the upcoming GI Joe series from Josh Williamson. But at the same time, I am thoroughly enjoying Larry Hama's current ongoing run.

    GI Joe ARAH sales easily tripled when it went to Skybound based off the interest level created by Skybound when they got the license. GI Joe ARAH was the only GI Joe title that IDW did that generated any sustainable sales when they had the license. Everything else sold like smoldering dog crap next to it. So the interest was always there, but with the massive new exposure it just hauled a bunch people back in to follow it monthly. WTF20.

    I'm a Transformers guy and barely knew who any of the G.I.Joe characters where but am getting all of the Energon books because they (for the most part) are good. As far as your question about if someone would be able to read one and the not the other I think it's possible but it's still a bit hard and honestly. For example both the plot of the Duke and Cobra Commander series really got kicked off as a result of the events of the transformers series. This universe has exactly 22 single issue floppies so far and it already feels like people who choose to only read there preferred property are already getting an "incomplete" experience if they don't at least read summaries of the books there not buying. I think this is fine as long as the Energon Universe stays lean. Starting November it will be just the 3 ongoings G.I.Joe, Void Rivals and Transformers. If they keep it to that while occasionally releasing a couple of miniseries here and there I think they'll be fine. But if they expand to much to quickly it'll fail. For example I was loving reading all the spawn books when there were only 4 titles but then todd just kept announcing new ones and I started cutting back until I dropped it entirely. Even household names like X-Men can't get away with it. That said Kirkman has constantly proven he knows what He's doing so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise

    GI Joe Resolute! Go find that animated series on CZcams or wherever you can. That was a hour and 20 minute "movie" written by Warren Ellis that picks up where GI Joe left off in animation, but takes it in a deadly serious direction. No lasers. No explosions with nobody getting injured. Real bullets. Real explosions. Joes die. Cobra members die. Cobra Commander is a evil maniacal and dangerous man. It is hardcore and damn awesome. Was run late night Saturday on Cartoon Network ONCE! I got lucky and caught most of it. Then they had it broken down in episodes on their web site for a while. It is the best damn GI Joe cartoon of the last 30 years no questions asked. As to a X-Over...they have done it twice already. Once by Marvel. Once by IDW. So there is precedence and it worked as well as it can...and this time probably would work better as I'd expect better and tighter writing. WTF20.

    Thus series has from all accounts been crafted Correctly for a new timeline.
    For myself theres a few Key Beats to Transformers and G.I.Joe that Inter mesh Really well while Less so with other Brand IP.
    While with Marvel i don't recall Any G.I.Joe crossover within the Marvel Universe but for the OG Transformers comic where Issue #3 had Spiderman guest star right after getting his Black Symbiote Suit in Secret Wars.
    But aside from that One Appearance there wasn't any further Marvel Comics crossovers. For the Superhero aspect characters like Circuit Breaker was created. Leaving ROXXON Corp as the Only Marvel Comics Tie In Nod to carry over into the series.
    When Transformers and G.I.Joe did their first miniseries crossover, the Joes Destroyed Bumblebee then Built him a new body and he became GOLDBUG for a time.
    That MINISERIES was Popular enough where each Publisher to Hold both Licenses has taken a crack or two at Crossing both over to varying degrees of Success.
    One i recall was set during WW2 with an Art Style similar to the X-Men Wildcats cross over art set in the same era.
    I have ZERO FAITH that Hasbro will get any further film adaptations right as they have NOBODY working for them that Really Understands Both IPs and can Ensure a Film story Worth making.
    As Licensees they're Free to go along whatever Natural Trajectory Stories Based upon G1 they like As Long as Everything is Proportional to Each Character and IP wlrking Well Together.
    They seem to have Nailed the Recipe for what they're doing with a Mature take on the G1 story.
    Building up from a few Key "Fixed Moments" just taking a different route to tell a similar story.
    What i mean by Key Beats are more in line with the 80s Toyline Release and Debut schedule as well as Choice Plot Bits to Hit or Do Differently with Different Results.
    Like the First COMBINER was DEVASTATOR. And in the comic we Get Devastator in the Same Order of Release.
    A Similar Path has been taken Forming G.I.Joe to an extent.
    Here we get the Prequel to the G1 Joe cartoon we never saw being told here. Both Joe and Cobra taking Shape As the Transformers on Earth take shape.
    Where the Movies FAILED began with Michael Bay. Now don't get me wrong, i Enjoyed them for what they were But they Just Weren't What id been waiting for since i was a kid.
    I wanted a live Action G1 Transformers movie and Technically...we Still Haven't Gotten that.
    Bumblebee was the CLOSEST we've gotten to telling a Variant of the G1 story even though it set it up.
    What happened is Instead of Building from those Beats as the Roster Selection Grows, so Do the Gimmicks. All they had to Do was Follow the Gimmick Roll Outs from the G1 toys and Theres your SERIES SKELETON you Fill with STORY.
    Instead for Bumblebee 2 we Skipped YEARS ahead Straight To BEAST WARS...whom apparently had Earth Rhinos, Gorillas, Eagles, Cheetahs and Rats on Another Planet BEFORE Ever coming to Earth.
    Its NONSENSE and None of it Built Up to OR EARNED.
    Which is WHY its Failing.
    The reaction to the Bumblebee Opening Scene being Pure G1 Goodness, for a Scant Few Minutes CAPTURED Exactly the Story G1 Fans have been waiting 35 to 40 YEARS for.
    And Each Time they DEVIATE from Any NATURAL TRAJECTORY they Set Up and Make EXPECTATIONS for, then Not Only have they Wasted Their Time but More Importantly OUR TIME.
    2 Films in to This Timeline and Its Already off the rails.
    Its NOT Hard for the Original G1 cartoon to be Adapted into a Series of Films.
    They could Be At BEAST WARS by Film FOUR as Some Gimmicks can OVERLAP in this Film release schedule.
    But it HAS TO Make SENSE and Nobody at Hasbro is Making the Effort to Make it Work.
    But the Licensee here GETS IT and is Essentially Making Their Movie Worthy New G1 Based Timeline as They'd Wanna See it.
    Take a LOOK at the First Wave of G1 toys for Autobots and Decepticons, then the Brief Character Overviews to get an idea of WHAT they can DO.
    Everything Seen on thise Profiles was USED in the Cartoon and Added Great VARIETY to the action. A d the Best the Movies have come up with a just Blasters and Missiles popping outta Nowhere. A SCANT Few examples of Abilities yes but the IMBALANCE in Character Focus, Good Guys and Bad Guys, the Cartoon TIME LIMITATIONS made for Colorful, Character Filled Dialogue that was EFFICIENT in Getting out Information and CHARACTER.
    Two NEW Films and theres No Banter between Starscream and Megatron. Starscream's Scheming and Back Talk..All the other characters.
    We KNOW them ALL because the TIME was Taken to DO that as Each gave Reason to BUY a Toy of the Characters we Liked the most.
    Until they MAKE A PLAN with At LEAST a Working SKELETON, None kf this is gonna Work.

    Given that Megatron is not yet a player and Stormshadow is my favourite... I will continue playing the waiting game. That Scarlet comic already tarnished the Arishikage so my scepticism is rising. I am also not big on mixing these two ips. It may become crossover and cameo central.

    I'd like "G.I. Joe" and "Transformers" to stand on their own, while having no problem that they exist in the same world, which sometimes would allow for some cross-over. Snake Eyes is my favorite Joe, so if he is not part of the new book, I will pass on it. I don't want him removed or replaced.

    I did not read the G.I.Joe side so far, but I got the TPB of transformers. And for a transformers incline fan I give it a tums up. It is mostly the same as mostly all the transformer tv series. The characters are iconic and the story is just a well set alternate vision or possibility of what could have been. In fact, I see the transformer comic as a actualisation of the transformers introductions, one that is more 21st century. In fact , it is a group of titles that I hope will keep on their hype, but time will tell. But that leave the big question. Does a inspiring groupe of title can hold their spot on shelf in the highly ideologically market like the current comic book industry ?

    A science-fiction story with that Planet Earth would make a good sci-fi comic book that could go into a whole new direction.

    What you said about Scarlett when she first saw Jinx " oh my God she looks so good, I need to control myself" is not true, not at all not even the idea is shown in the panels, not even using different wods, what really happens is she sees the symbol on Jinx leg, she knows she has seen it before, but cant pinpoint where, then Jinx turns her face and Scarlett recognizes her, an thinks: is Jinx! what is she doing here? the panel shows Scarletts face as surprised because JInx is been missing for 2 years. The whole " i cant control myself" is not even close.

    I wrote and drew my own Transformers comic from around the time of the 1986 movie until January 2011 (I just checked the completion date out of curiosity). 85 issues, plus a few extra side stories. So I’ve always been a Transformers guy, rather than GI Joe. I’d prefer not to have to read both to understand the one I’m interested in.

    “GIJoe is even more popular than Superman right now” 
 dude 😂 chill out. Now and then you go overboard with the hyperbole.
    Getting Bumblebee out of the way was a strategic move.
    They KNEW very well they were gonna be cucking Spike, crippling him, basically making him a second fiddle to that fkn girlboss character in Transformers.
    So yeah, they didn’t want to establish that iconic friendship between Bumblebee and Spike.
    The same thing with SnakeEyes
 he’s been set aside to make way for Scarlet to take his place. Even robbing SnakeEyes’ arch nemesis Stormshadow.
    I’m telling you this whole feminist, give girls more shine agenda running rampant in comics, movies and even video games is a game changer, in a shitty way that is.
    It’s been a fkn disaster. No matter subtle they try to be with it. It becomes obvious very quick, all over the medium.

    Gay coding scarlett was a big mistake since jinx other then the animated movie hasn't been a important character and also making the ninja clan gun runners isn't part of the lore. ..I see why snake eyes wasn't in it since his lore his heavily influence by the Vietnam war but even sgt rock got updated to present day in the dcu.....the other thing maybe they are going to let Larry hama do a snake-eyes mini series since he did create his character and bio card on the figure...and also the only other character not seen yet is zartan....another ninja clan member who was a part of killing the blind master with firefly..

    I agree with this review. All GI Joe Titles except Scarlett has been great. Cobra Commander was my favorite, Duke was a close second, and Destro was enjoyable. Jinx and Storm Shadow are some of my favorite characters in all GI Joe, but the execution on Scarlett's Book isn't working for me.
    Also agreed with the concept of Transformers vs GI Joe. As much as I enjoy both franchises, the Transformers outclass the GI Joe Talent. The only way I could think of pulling that off would be several Joes against a Transformer.

    For the crossover: weaken the Transformers. Make them take as much damage from bullets and grenades the same as a standard car or truck would take.
