Marvel states that the two exist within the same universe with the Marvel Mulitverse identifier of Earth-91274 (while the Marvel UK G1 and Marvel UK Action Force comics exist in Earth-120185).

Vector Prime declared the following in an "Ask Vector Prime" session:
"The events depicted in the 155 issue Marvel [G.I. Joe: ARAH] series are canon for Primax 984.0 Gamma."

<Primax 984.0 Gamma> is the universal stream designation of the U.S. Marvel G1 comics continuity.


Yup, this is certainly all true. I didn't say that they weren't the same universe, only that the writers were not keeping that in mind with each issue/story. They were concerned (to an extent) with in-comic continuity, but not necessarily in-universe continuity.

G2 is certainly part of Primax 984.0 Gamma. Does this mean Furman will be sticking to it? Not sure. I assume the events of 81-100 could take place between issue 80 and G2 issue 1, but does that mean I am concerned about Furman keeping them consistent.....not really. I will be happier with a well-written story that contradicts G2 than a poorly-written story that is consistent. (Of course, the best possibility is a well-written story that does *not* contradict.)

Upshot: I don't worry much about things like Primax 984.0 Gamma when I am reading a comic, so I will not be upset if something happens that contradicts G2. It certainly wouldn't be the first contradiction. And if something does contradict I will just assume that the super-positioned wave function collapsed to a different eigenstate. :)

So he stated he'll ignore it and take the Marvel continuity into a different direction with 81.
He may incorporate a few G2 things, like characters and concepts here and there.

It's kinda like what HellSpawn is to Spawn, takes everything up to a certain point as canon and then just moves into a different direction.


I hope we get Sideswipe in his G2 look.

Not that I don't believe you, but you got a source on him saying this? I'm interesting in reading further into this. :-B

The 2 part interview the Allspark had with him about it, back when this was just a petition. I'll go and find it for you.

Edit:
Here you go:

Oh and the same goes for the UK material by the way Marvel US G1 only.
