Joe comic with Megatron's head on the cover :)<br />That was issue # 139 I guess, but that was my first introduction to the fact that The Transformers were back in comicform.<br />When I opened it up and saw the two page spread of a battered Megatron shooting at the Cobra castle, my jaw nearly dropped to the floor. It still remains one of my most favourite pieces of comicart ever :)Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442388706616569265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-27661374357710722792011-02-04T20:14:00.763-08:002011-02-04T20:14:00.763-08:00Yeah, G.I.

Joe kind of had to ignore it, as Transformers: Generation 2 kind of took things to a widescale global level of destruction, and used the Joes in its own ways. Kind of a split timeline thing, I guess.<br /><br />I remember hoping Transformers would return to comic books after seeing the new toys (and comic-puzzle in the Walmart restaurant's kid's meal, which was woefully uninformative). The first one I saw was the issue after this, though, but I never really gave up on the Transformers... and was glad to have them back.LBD 'Nytetrayn'https://www.blogger.com/profile/03558404841371560435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-67104202276257011952011-02-04T18:47:27.473-08:002011-02-04T18:47:27.473-08:00I tend to ignore pretty much everything after the ...I tend to ignore pretty much everything after the Cobra Civil War storyline... in the GIJOE comic.. The girth of the toyline was simply getting too big to try and showcase in a comic book. <br /><br />I actually rather liked how Devil's Due rid themselves of the problem.. It was all simply the mad ravings of the clone Mindbender's brain reforming.Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-47107856192029454642011-02-04T17:14:20.742-08:002011-02-04T17:14:20.742-08:00I think the subsequent ignoring in G.I.

Joe as close to realism as possible (not helped by some of the stuff Hasbro came up, or by animated adverts for the comic that dictated some of the more sci-fi plotlines). Prior to this story the original G.I. Joe vs Transformers mini series was completely ignored by the rest of G.I. Joe continuity and there was even an issue of G.I. Joe: Secret Missions from just after the mini that showed the Transformers as a toyline in the G.I. Joe universe. This crossover seems to have begrudgingly tolerated at the time then subsequently ignored altogether.Tim Roll-Pickeringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589024696145675963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-35457852901264062112011-02-04T11:12:05.532-08:002011-02-04T11:12:05.532-08:00I assume that since Hasbro owns the comic series f...I assume that since Hasbro owns the comic series for both properties now, where they didn't at the time of Titan reprinting Generation 2 previously.. and one company now having the reprint rights to both.. they should be included in one of the future Classic GIJOE volumes from IDW.. <br /><br />Though it really would fit better just included with the G2 comics.. as it basically was completely ignored by #143-155 of the GIJOE comics.. it was a strange situation for sure..Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.com
