G.I. Joe: America's Elite is a comic book series published by Devil's Due. It is set one year after the end of A Real American Hero. The series started its run in 2005 and concluded at 2008. The series is notable for a grittier take on G.I. Joe. It eschews many of the fantastic elements and focuses on a more realistic aesthetic. The G.I. Joe Team is re-formed albeit with a small active roster while the rest are put on a reserve status.
