	'''Aubrey Sitterson''' is a freelance writer and podcaster. He wrote [[G.I. Joe vol. 5\|''G.I. Joe'' vol. 5]] and ''[[Scarlett's Strike Force]]'' for [[IDW Publishing]]. Sitterson's take on G.I. Joe explored the more ''outre'' aspects of the franchise's history, including a move to have the team shoot colored lasers per the 1980s cartoon as opposed to real bullets and the inclusion of oddball concepts like the "Fatal Fluffies" and Hasbro's short-lived ''Army Ants''. He also revamped the largely inconsequential ''Joe'' character "[[Salvo (G.I. Joe)\|Salvo]]" into a Samoan-American woman (as opposed to a bald white guy). Combine all of that with some statements about 9/11, and Sitterson wound up "alienating" portions of the ''G.I. Joe'' fandom, as well as drawing the ire of various right-wing comics fans outside the ''Joe'' audience.<ref>https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/09/14/timeline-aubrey-sitterson-gi-joe/ Overview of ''l'affair Sitterson'' @BleedingCool]</ref>		'''Aubrey Sitterson''' is a freelance writer and podcaster.
