Reread in 2019 - *This* is where Hama really brings it together. One of my favorite runs of the book. Pure nostalgia for me, but there is some excellent serial writing going on here...
The Classics just keep getting better and better!Really enjoyed this volume. I feel like the series finally hit its stride in this volume. The groundwork has been laid and now it can build more.
Action ramps up in the fourth collection. More characters are brought in, including two favorites, Lady Jay and Flint. Also the introduction of Tomax and Xamot that add a new level to the Cobra forces. The creation of Cobra Island occurs in the final two collected comics (although the battle for the establishment of the island is a tad far fetched). I'm so thankful to have the ability to re-read some of the comics from my youth. And they are as awesome as I remember.
Gosh darn, Larry Hama could write a good story. I had forgotten how well put together these stories were and it was nice to read them again. Nothing classic about them and the art is solid but not spectacular. Which isn't to put it down - because the artists do a great job of story telling it's just that the style doesn't jump out at you. But here the story telling is king and Larry was the master. We get Joes versus Cobra and he does a great balancing act of not making the Joes too perfect or C...
An excellent blend of the comic superhero style storytelling and a military war comics. Huge cast of characters and a great evil villain and organization balances the series well. Very recommended.
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero - Issues # 30 - 39. These weren't quite as good as the first two collections and the longer story arcs just weren't as interesting as the previous ones. They had an interesting way to move out some of the older characters and bring in new ones by making the original Joes "office support staff" for the new people coming in. To me these issues were just annoying because the new people weren't as well developed as the older ones and they just kept swapping them in a f...
This volume was the one I remembered best. Ripcord's infiltration of Springfield and the birth of Serpentor. The promotion of Hawk to brigadier general and the formation of Cobra Island from the ocean floor. Good stories and well drawn.
The nostalgia factor couldn't overcome 2 or 3 of the really cringe worthy issues in this run, but I'm really enjoying reading these new (to me) Joe adventures.
The artwork in these books leave much to be desired. The signature eyepatch of Major Bludd was missing in a number of panels and parts of clothing were flesh colored. Jeez. It's like a 4th grader tried to color these things.
