UPDATE!! now up to April 25th 2012

It's no secret that I'm a fan of both GI Joe and Transformers so its only right that since I went to all that trouble of coming up with Transfomers The Big List that I do justice for the Joe members of the site.

As far as a proper reading order GI Joe proves to be one of the hardest series I've ever encounted to put in a strict chronological order. Sure there are books that contain stories that definately predate others but some of the stories especially those in Origins skip all over the time space continuum. Basically this list is IDW's published order of GI Joe only pertaining to the the IDW continuity that began with A New Beginning back in 2008.

So here it is .... THE BIG LIST!!

Thanks Rev for providing us with a pretty good chronological order so far. Can't imagine how long it took you. I think a sticky is in order.

Good work, Rev! Anybody interested in putting together an event timeline? I started one but got lazy. It pretty much covers season 1. I gave up when I couldn't figure where the Tales from the Cobra Wars stories

Shouldn't The Cobra Annual be read before G.I. Joe (Vol2) #9?
