TALKING JOE 225 - Recap summary of G.I. Joe ARAH 155.5 - 300 IDW ERA extended plot breakdown! (Authors note. As it happens this is probably the most time consuming episode I've ever made - I began a recap read through of the IDW series writing down a summary of each issue with this episode in mind many months ago. as you can imagine, re-reading 150 odd issues and making notes, then condensing those notes and recording them is some endeavour). In this episode, I will be doing the opposite of what we normally do (which is to take a single issue or arc and do a deep dive). Today I will be instead giving a plot breakdown recap of the entire IDW ARAH era covering issues 155.5 through to 300 with 2 sentences or so to describe a plot summary of each issue and get you up to speed ahead of issue 301. Just to give a recap of the context; Marvel published GI Joe A Real American Hero in 1982 through to 1994. It ran for 155 Issues almost all of those written by Larry Hama. When IDW began releasing G.I. Joe comics in January 2009 they focussed initially on their own new continuity; but in 2010, IDW restarted the original Marvel A Real American Hero continuity picking up with issue #155 1/2 with Larry Hama once more writing the same continuity he started in 1982. It finished at issue 300 at IDW in 2022, over 40 years since it started. The Continuity picks up again with issue 301 at Skybound. Full notes can be found at https://www.patreon.com/posts/91237059
