Year 2001 of G.I.Joe

The year 2001 saw the G.I. Joe franchise in a state of transition. After the revitalization of the line in the late 90s with the "Real American Hero" aesthetic resurrected, Hasbro continued to explore different formats and character interpretations. While the core team remained familiar, story arcs were evolving, often embracing a more serialized narrative across comic books and the toy line.
