hi, gang. i'm totally new to these boards... so i hope i'm posting in the correct forum. if not, please remove me and place me elsewhere... kindly, if possible.
on to the point of this topic. i recently learned that devil's due has lost publishing rights with hasbro once the current world war 3 arc ends (ie 36). this book since mark powers and mike o'sullivan created a comic union rarely seen in an editor/writer relationship has garnered praise across the internet and even wizard-and not in the usual wizard hype kinda way. and i haven't even mentioned mike bears pencils or beau--ahh, i can't spell it but he's one heck of a colorist.
anywho, i fear a reboot might be waiting oh-so-patiently in the sandy deserts to strike. the following has been cut and pasted from an earlier matt-missive. it goes like this:
please, idw or hasbro don't reboot. sure, do some movie tie-ins or new cartoon tie-ins but don't skip out on the real story soap opera that i've been loving these past 26 years. spidey got ultimate but was allowed to continue his real continuity, as well... sorta but we're not talking myphisto here. x-men, batman, superman, even wildcats to some extent have gone in new directions and carried new reboots along with them. i just simply see no reason to reboot a continuing storyline that is being critically praised across the net and even in wizard... of all places.
whatever the case, if the current continuity is maintained past this summer, i will be there just like i was through the ninja farce years and joe casey's run--i lovegodland, btw-- but if this is not to be and a reboot is "attempted".... well, my other posts will finish that remark a couple hundred times.
you guys are doing a great job showcasing various incarnations of the transformers with the classic u.k. reprints that expound on the original universe quite well. you have an upcoming animated series, and you have simon's new universe trucking along. movie tie-ins, but i would like to see what happened after jhiaxus (sp?) made his generation two appearance but i digress.
please, for the love of God, don't destroy this pathetic fanboy's love of wednesdays.
oh, and if there's any way possible, please continue with o'sullivan as continuity guru and powers or jerwa on the words.
pipe dreams they may be... but i hold out hope.
transformers couldn't maintain because they rebooted so many times. it becomes a pain after awhile.
let's see these awesome joe current events continue.
afterall, like with all great continuing stories, i want to know what happens next.
i don't want to start all over again.
and i won't.
again, feel free to move me to the correct forum. i was told by a friend that there was a vote or petition going out concerning this dire wraith situation and i didn't see it here... so chances are that i am lost.
except when it comes to the joe. then i'm all there, baby!
thanks for your time. now, does anyone know if the next shipment of joe comic/toy packs (ie duke joining and/or vs. red star) take place in real continuity? like maybe during the seven year break after the original fall of cobra? just curious.)
okay, now, thanks again!
