Anyone else still reading G.I. Joe:America's Elite, by Joe Casey?

I for one have been digging the series, although I got a little bogged down around issues 8-9. These past three issues have been GREAT. The whole Snake Eyes/Red Ninja Clan conflict was sick, and a great lead in to the whole Cobra Commander in the White House plot. I think there's some big potential for bad ass shite going down.

I also really dug the Snake Eyes Declassified mini - the way it tied almost every panel from the old series into a cohesive story was really cool. I'm looking foward to the Scarlett one shot.

And on a final GI Joe note, the miniseries by Larry Hama, about the first mission, seems pretty cool - I always wondered who the hell "Shooter" was back in the day, and the first issue of the mini jogged my memory and tickled my curiosity immensley.

I hate to say it (HATE!), but I am totally not into GI JOE: AMERICA'S ELITE. After the last series wound down, I was kinda leaning off the Joe bandwagon. AE pretty much convinced me to take a break and walk along behind it for a while.

I did enjoy SNAKE EYES DECLASSIFIED, and GI JOE DECLASSIFIED #1 was just all sorts of great. So I'm definitely not swearing off all GI Joe comics. But I'm on a part-time basis until the main book interests me more...

I haven't read the Declassified stuff but the America's Elite stuff has been really good.

This whole Cobra Commander returning has been really good so far....can't wait for more.

I loved the Gi Joe Declassified by Hama, it was awesome. I didnt get into the Elite from the beginning, so maybe at some point if I can find a run at a show or something I will probably jump onto it.

G.I. Joe:America's Elite strikesd me as being verything a Joe comic shouldn't be. I gave it up after the first few issues.

How better to kick off a G.I. Joe podcast than chatting with Mr. Snake Eyes: Declassified himself!?!
