I am in the camp of I have never read a GI Joe comic and I’m getting the cobra box set.
Guttsiest move I've ever seen doing a $300 blind buy. FYI, for me it was hit or miss after issue 10, with the peak being the Cobra Civil War. I'm passing.
Even if he doesn't like it, there should be a pretty good resale value.
I think there are about 120 good issues. And about 40 not good, and 20 terrible. What ever you do, don’t skip issue 155. That’s including yearbooks and special missions.
same here. Can be sold in the future and still make your money back or just keep it as a collectible item.
At least this in reading order unlike the marvel box sets such as infinity gauntlet , secret wars box sets etc
@@mamunestorthese are for 1-155(marvel)
The books should have been oversized HC like dynamite 🧨 or omnibus style like DC/Marvel, but overall I’m happy to be backer #10 on the Kickstarter.
Please do the same with the original Transformers series!!!!!!
I’ll buy the regular compendium later on this year.
I was lucky to get Cobra w/ Larry Hama signed bookplate. So excited!
Issues 37 through 57 were my childhood favourites. Snake-Eyes and another character (no spoilers for new Joe fans) invading Cobra Island was and still is the coolest storyline I've ever read. Then that other character gets murdered on the beach and that leads to the creation of Serpentor. Sooo good!!
Yeah. It kills me that these aren't oversized. I almost didn't order but I decided to just get the first book. If they had been oversized I'd have bought or backed all 4 books. Thier loss. It's a blind buy for me anyway. I only remember reading the first few issues. I was primarily a poor super hero fan but that first issue was awesome.
I asked this question in the kickstarter campaing. Apparently the files they have would look bad in oversized as they are bad quality and would cost too much and take too long to restore. Also rumours going around that Marvel will reprint these in the future in omnibus size after the kickstarter has been fulfilled. Take it with a grain of salt with the marvel rumour. I backed the full set in case there isnt a future hardcover reprint
@@ss-xl1cc We had these comics printed in the UK as Action Force. Our comics size are larger than the USA comics and I dont remember any issues with the resizing.
the fact that it is in reading order made it worth the purchase for me as i have never read gi joe comics before
Phenomenal interview. I ordered the Joe set myself and can’t wait to display it on my shelf.
Coach Antone!
I’m glad we are finally getting a compendium of the GI JOE. Compendium’s are outselling omnibus bc of the price comparison.
ARAH was my intro to comics. GI Joe #22 was my first Joe comic but I became a comic collector with issue #23.
😂nice
I hope you went back and got the greatest issue 21….
@@mamunestor Of course!
Started collecting GI Joe Classified figures and then checked out the 80s TV cartoon after that. Now dipping my toe - well, with this set doing a full on swan dive - into the comics. If I’m going to read ARAH this is the way to go.
Going Cobra. Destro, Baroness, Serpentor and Cobra Commander are some of the best villainous characters in all of fiction. Snake Eyes IS awesome, however.
COBRA Commander set for me. Between the cover characters, COBRA had all 4 with favorites vs only Snake Eyes and Scarlett for the Joes. For the card voting, I only got Beachhead (I knew Flint and Lady Jaye would likely win, but never cared for them myself) but I did get two of my COBRA card votes (Firefly and Mindbender).
I went with GI JOe because it's called GI Joe, not Cobra. However, if they actually do the IDW Hama run, I'll get the Cobra set.
Been waiting for this collection for so long. So happy. Great interview, Omar, as always. Go, JOmar!
Never really read the original comics, started with Devils Due. I’ve backed this already and I’ve been Team Cobra! since day one of the cartoon and toys. Very excited to get this and looking forward to more of this world from the Skybound team.
Lucky enough to snag one of the H.I.S.S. Tank Hama bookplate V2 sets!
This was a day one purchase for me ! Especially when they extend it through the next 150+ issues, as well as do the same for the Transformers. Nerd Candy, and I'm buying! Great interview!
I just wish the HCs looked like the omnibuses.
I ordered my box set tonight. COBRA!!!!
Team Joe for me and 59th backer. Grew up on these. #10 was my first issue. Was very excited to hear about this Kickstarter. Also have been sucked into the energon universe. Been awesome thus far! Great interview and looking forward to receiving these in Decemberish.. 🙂 Yo Joe!!
Great interview! Can't wait!
I backed it on day one, Team Cobra. Also backed the Darkwing Duck set
I’ve never read GI Joe, but I’ve always wanted to. I jumped on this one quickly (chose the Joe set)
Awesome.
Thanks.
I’m getting this COBRA.
Great informative interview.
Backing Joe!❤
Already ordered. Got a spot on my shelf for these right now. May need another one by the time I get.
I was on the fence for the Kickstart but I think you have convinced me.
Ohh I've never read any Gi Joe, but this was so fun to listen to.
As long as we don’t get milked to the extreme coz we are the same people buying all these. I mean I’m deciding between this and Wolverine omnibus 4 & 5…
I still cant believe how low kickstarters have been for comics. Sanderson has shown what book readers can do. Spawn probably allowed Todd to make the comeback I’ve noticed while Mind Mgmt and Avatar has touched on where the power players really come from. Cmon in particular has learnt all it takes is the IP.
Team Joe! I wish I'd been able to get a bookplate, though.
God. I’m so bummed. It always sucks when timing just isn’t on one’s side. I literally don’t get paid until two weeks after the close date of this kickstarter and my we’ve been going through some stuff having our daughter hospitalized and all. I would love to back this cobra edition. My dad brought me up on these comics and it’s a huge part of my life. We even got matching arashikage tattoos for Father’s Day one year. Too bad you can’t purchase after it’s closing
Actually the best is the Baroness, obviously.
Nice man 😀
I am so excited that I will finally be able to get rid of the 15 IDW volumes for omnibus versions of this run.
As life long GIJoe completelists collector i loved learning about the retailer options coming soon. My wallet hates me. But the actual per items value is like $1.50 a book not including the stretch goals. YoJoe!!!
2 million dollars?!😮
I’m a long time GI Joe fan. So much so that I have done a podcast, Star Joes, for 14 years that has a focus on GI Joe.
I’m so hoping they do the IDW issues next. I also hope they do some great collections of the Image/DDP issues that were done.
Cyclops is my favorite Marvel character (not just X-Men).
Flint is my favorite G.I. Joe character.
Do the creators of these stories get royalties from these sales?
I believe Invincible had exclusive hardcover compendiums that eventually came to retail, as well as deluxe hardcovers and library editions. What are the chances we see the same for Joe, and/or an Omnibus from Marvel?
When I hear “bells and whistles “ I’m expecting all kinds of extras/backmatter. I figured these compendiums would be like Image’s others and exclude that kind of thing. For that reason I’m not supporting this Kickstarter. Maybe someday they’ll do something that includes it. If not, that’s ok too.
Pls restore the latter issues
Dang I wanted the hardcover only. My car had to fixed so I guess I won’t ever be reading this. No softcovers for me
Im confused what is the issue?
