One of My ideas for a gi joe cartoon would be an anthology show called gi joe classified where these are the classified missions from the different series. There would be a couple of episodes of each series and maybe tie up some loose ends. So a sunbow arc, dic arc, sgt savage arc, extreme, etc… but that would probably be too hard and cost way too much. Another would be a season long find the mcguffin like weather dominator, mass device or operation dragon fire. We would have a small core group that are joined by specialists all over the world. Which could lead to some twists like stalker landing in Australia and Zartan disguised greets him and uses him and his intel to get the part first or when all hope seems lost and cobra is about to get a piece, a CG betrays cobra and reveals himself to be chuckles or Faces. I got more but those are my 2 current favorites

As to the kickstarter compendium I think it's awesome and shows that people are interested in GI Joe! I think the price is rather High especially when you factor in a bunch of the old school fans probably have the issues are multiple copies. I happen to have several sign by Larry Hama himself. But what would be cool is if they actually reprinted the original stories that were meant as in between or half issues to fill in gaps in the original run. As far as I know, a bunch of them were written by Larry himself and meant to be Canon. There wasn't even an issue where it showed doctor Mindbender as a dentist before things went wrong.

I think by Scarlet offering the hilt on the left, she was offering it to Jinx as seen in that panel with Jinx standing to the Hard Master’s left

[@gijoburg]

Yeah I considered that actually but the way the shot is framed is does seem its for the Hard master. But it is entirely possible and the sword position would as you said support that.

[@DareDevilDave75]

@@gijoburg at this point, she hasn’t seen jinx in a while, and is not sure if she can trust her or not, but she is showing her trust in her. I’m no expert, just my take on the panel.

As a born again Christian I can honestly say that there are a lot of people that aren't bigots that don't want to see same-sex relationships in their GI Joe. I don't hate anybody but I also don't believe in promoting that lifestyle. Especially in a kids brand. There are a lot of religions that feel that way also. I am in no way telling you guys you need to feel the same way I just to make it clear that there are plenty of people that feel differently about it at they aren't bigots.

I'm not Christian or religious, and I agree with you. I don't care anymore if that makes me a "bigot" or whatever. People need to stop kowtowing to their buzzwords and gaslighting.

I used to sell used comics really well in person as parents & adults would get stacks for kids. Archie was a top seller before they introduced Kevin &c most would say they want kids safe comics. I, too, respect others beliefs but think certain things don't need to be everywhere & in kids comics as well. That being said if the story flows naturally & doesn;t feel forced, I'd be more okay with certain changes. (I haven't read this issue yet.) But it is also nice to have a positive female friendly relationship explained as nowadays it's not as often shown without different overtones.
