''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'' (also known as ''G.I. Joe'' vol. 2 or ''G.I. Joe: Reinstated'') is a comic book that was published by Image Comics from 2001 to 2005. Based on Hasbro, Inc.'s ''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'' line of military-themed toys, the series picks up seven years after the end of the Marvel Comics series, and has been credited for bringing back attention to other 1980s properties such as ''Transformers'', ''Masters of the Universe'' and ''Voltron''. ==Publication history== In July 2001, Devil's Due acquired the rights to G.I. Joe, and released a four-issue limited series through Image Comics, written by Josh Blaylock with John Larter and Steve Kurth as the artists. The title quickly became known to the fans as ''A Real American Hero'' vol. 2 (following from Marvel's original series), or ''G.I. Joe Reinstated'' (the title of the first four-issue arc). Strong sales on the limited series led to it being upgraded to an ongoing series, with the publication of a fifth issue and a monthly schedule. The new series picked up seven years after the end of the Marvel Comics series, and also used elements from the animated TV series. Several older characters were featured in the title alongside several new recruits. While primarily continuing the stories from the Marvel Comics series, the success of the G.I. Joe comic allowed Devil's Due to branch out with more properties, and experiment with creating their own continuities. Devil's Due eventually broke off from Image to become their own company, and took over the publishing of the book with issue #26. The series ended with issue #43, and the introduction of a new enemy, the Red Shadows.〔(G.I. Joe the Real American Hero, Volume 2,Devil's Due,G.I. Joe Comic Book Archive )〕 The series was relaunched as a new series ''G.I. Joe: America's Elite'', which lasted for 36 issues, and was cancelled when Devil's Due's license with Hasbro expired in 2008 and was not renewed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Devil's Due Loses G.I.
