The 8 Biggest Reasons the G.I. Joe Comic Kicks the Cartoon's Ass

[thenammagazine]

Don't get me wrong, the cartoon was fine for the most part (and the intro to the animated movie kicks MUCH ass, as seen below)... it's just a wort on the ass of the Hama comic.

THIS is awesome sauce:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/DN034sBeF4c&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/DN034sBeF4c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

But then there's this $#!+ stain that still nags at the back of your mind :

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/t4exxtFxKBs&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/t4exxtFxKBs&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>​

Let it be said that this alone certifies the comic's superiority to the old toon.

Cobra Commander was correct, "What a revolting display".

 

[Mithrandier]

Comics best by far...... early Marvel ones and new series as well.

I do like the slow burn approach that the IDW books are taking, so far.

That's probably how Stephen Sommers remembers G.I. Joe.

I forgot about that... when GiJoe went Wind-up!

Destro laughs at DiC's attempt.

WTF?!?! I consider myself a pretty hardcore Joe fan and don't even remember this. When did this diarrhea fart happen?

I see your DIC GIJoe cartoons and raise you Devil's Due Comics.

That crap came out in the late 80s/early 1990s or so, had Metal Head and other retarded characters, and really sucked, obviously. I remember watching it, hoping that each episode would actually be one of the classic episodes as they would mix some Sunbow episodes in with the Dic ones.

Yeah, I don't remember/wasn't around much of the 90s. So basically, sounds like I didn't miss anything.
