THE ROAD TO #200 CONTINUES! G.I. JOE has been set up! As most of America's Elite are taken prisoner in Sierra Gordo, it's up to the few support members left behind to launch an offensive. But when COBRA realizes G.I. JOE is spread so thin, they get ready to launch an offensive of their own. This just might be G.I. JOE's darkest hour, in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #197!

So, I'm thinking the latest "Rachel Rising" issue is my new favourite one. The confrontation between Zoe and the gas station guard dog, which is little more than a throwaway scene, is simultaneously epic and hilarious to the point that one almost feels sorry for the many other authors who go to enormously greater lengths and still don't manage to achieve even a fraction of that effect! :D
yeah that one panel where the dog's crying conveys more emotion than some entire issues drawn by lesser artists. i'm really glad that series is b&w. it's a shame that it doesn't crack the top 200 in sales. vastly underrated.

It seems to me that monochrome art is more sensitive to the artist's skill than is the case for colour art. Mediocre work looks totally bland or even tawdry, while top-notch work like Moore's (or Carla Speed McNeil's in "Finder", or C P Wilson's in "Stuff of Legend") can singlehandedly take a story to a whole new level. Coloration dampens those extremes quite a bit, unless it in turn is extremely badly or extremely well done.

Plus, black-and-white plus horror equals marriage made in heaven. Or hell, as the case may be.

I guess the American market just isn't ready to really embrace something that's outside both the superhero and the major publishers' molds? Well, if they do turn it into a TV series as you mentioned the other day, that'd assuredly catapult sales way up, even if the adaptation turns out not to have much merit in itself, which would be a silver lining of sorts. :)
