Larry Hama has finally hit his stride in this collection. The artwork is also markedly better. And we get our first look at Zartan and his Dreadnoks which just makes for a whole lot of fun in the future issues. But the highlight of this collection is issue 21. The silent Issue. an entire issue with no words but a story that affects the entire G.I. Joe universe. The relationship between Storm Shadow and Snake-eyes gets even deeper. The relationship between Scarlet and Snake-Eyes is made stronger....
Snake Eyes Origin story is a MUST read!!!
This volume of the original Marvel Comics Larry Hama run of G.I.JOE collecting issues 21-30 is a drastic increase in quality over the previous two volumes. The first issue in this collection, "Silent Interlude", is hands-down the most famous issue of G.I.JOE, and indeed one of the most well-known single comic issues of all time. This is the issue that is entirely devoid of any dialog, relying solely on visuals to tell the story of Snake-Eyes rescuing Scarlett from the clutches of Cobra, which is...
This was a lot of fun. More big-name characters make their debut along with some other famous vehicles and locations.Writer Larry Hama still writes some unbelievably ham-fisted dialogue, over-the-top and laden with exposition. Every Joe character seems to share the same personality but at least the Cobras seem more individualistic. I make note of these quibbles but by this third volume they don't actually bother me anymore. They're just part of the Larry Hama G.I. Joe experience. Once I accepted...
Volume 3 has some of the GiJoe characters i really liked as a kid and this makes it even better than the 2 other volumes in my mind.The colors are still weird and from one page to another the same character colors are different. The story isnt highly addictive and the "jokes" are silly but hey, its from the 80s so its all cool!
This volume is definitely starting to take the shape of the cartoon. Big name characters like Stormshadow and Zartan take the field. A lot of product placement in this volume. This is the last one available through comixology unlimited and while it is a fun read the nostalgia is not enough to make me want to buy the rest of the series.
Really comes into its ownThe stories in this volume just keep building off one another. And the sanke-eyes and storm shadow story is the BEST in the whole run so far.
G.I. Joe A Real American Hero, issues 20 - 29. These are the ones I remember reading as a kid, back in the glory days. This set has some of the most iconic stories, like the two part The Origin of Snake Eyes story. Loved reading these. Brought me right back to that time.
For anyone who grew up in the early '80's, as I did, with a love for comics and action figures, needs to read this collection! What a lot of fun. As I did not start reading the classic comic series until the 35th issue or so, most of the material in this collection is brand new to me. What a pleasure. I can't wait to get my hands on even more.
Issues 26 and 27: Snake Eyes Origin, nuff said.
This continues to be a great series and I really enjoyed the history on snake eyes. I would recommend this to anyone who was raised in the 80s and is a fan of GI Joe. There were a few areas that did not keep me engaged.
