Overview[]

As with the original cartoon, the new series was produced by Sunbow / Gunther-Wahl Productions (co-founded by animation producer Lee Gunther) and distributed by Claster Television. Set in the (at the time) near-future of 2006, the new Joe team operates in a post-Cold War world wracked by chaos and carnage. The show's main threat is an emerging terrorist organization called S.K.A.R. led by Iron Klaw, aka Count von Rani of an eastern European country.

Unlike the previous series, the cartoon featured a pre-credits teaser featuring a mixture of live actors (with the voices dubbed over) and CGI. However, the end of the episodes featured new public service announcements in the same vein as the "Knowing is Half the Battle" PSAs used in the shows of the 1980s and earlier 1990s.

The show's art style is heavily influenced by popular comic book artists of the time, such as Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee.
