Figured I'd start a thread here for anything about GI Joe comics in general.

And start it with some questions if anyone can help.

I have the original five volumes of Classic GI Joe that Marvel put out earlier this decade, and was planning to buy some more of the newer IDW volumes.

1.) Are the IDW releases of Vol 1 to 5 the same as the Marvel releases? Do they cover the same issues? If I buy IDW Vol 6 will it pick up from where Marvel Vol 5 left off?

2.) I want to get all the issues up to the end of the Cobra Island Civil War. (because the TFUK comics left us with a cliffhanger on that story). What issues of the GI Joe comic did that conclude in?

3.) How much further should I read? Where did the comics turn from good to well, less good. By less good I mean stuff like "Snake Eyes and Ninja Force" where it was bright and flashy and very different to that more classic era (#45-#70) that I like the most and recall fondly from the TF back up strips.
