From IDW G.I.Joe #1, the new Pitt is far more than the multi-level Soviet-proof underground bunker of the eighties. I can't say I'm impressed but more gutted from the sci-fi influence. It's too much like Resident Evil's Raccoon City and I expect Toxo-Zombies swarming the sewers. This portion of the city looks like it can house a full regiment of personnel which is beyond the scope of the G.I.Joe team's role as interpreted in previous incarnations.The Joes from the Marvel run were only a special forces battalion with a headquarters detachment. Even Stargate Command used that many people just for the sake of logistics in their exploration and defensive roles. This city looks like it could repel Armageddon and I hope that's not what the creators are writing for. G.I.Joe's not supposed to be in epic scale like the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, it's supposed to be Delta Force as in Chuck Norris or The Unit.
Along with these revisions to the mythos I expect a lethal injection of anti-American bias and the Joes written as war-mongering hicks with Cobra being the intellectual savior from impending doom. Yep, with all those hot blond scientists walking around there would have to be plenty of 24-hour drive-by abortion clinics to service the international community.
I guess you have to be really stupid these days to have a comic published with the politically correct thought-police on patrol. Will G.I.Joe pay for their blasphemy against nature's god? Find out in IDW Comics!
Still I love the new Dial-Tone driving the Desert Fox, she's a fine rip off of Colonel Carter from SG-1 heehee.
