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.
Good for the nostalgia...It is what it is and I love it. This volume starts with some great stories,but then as you get towards the end it more and more ventures into the ridiculous. But hey, it was the 80s and that was part of the fun.
The series is still in its prime in this volume. The amount of characters is starting to get overwhelming (and it's only to get to worse) but Larry Hama does a great job of focusing on certain characters for certain storylines to keep readers from getting too confused. Some really surprising developments here as Cobra starts to splinter into different factions while still having to worry aobut the Joes. I'm sure the bottom drops out at some point, but not yet.
Chuckles RIPS!
Weird formatting and distracting art in this volume. Story is a bit better but still uneven.
(Continuing the re-read of my childhood...)Not Hama's best, but not his worst. A couple of great issues in this set and a couple that make it obvious that Hasbro had control over what and whom he had to feature every few months (and yet he somehow manages to make Raptor a somewhat interesting character). Destro's return home was always a favorite of mine, though, and "Pit-Fall" is a good all-out action issue that also sets in motion the ongoing romance between Flint and Jaye that has been used f...
G.I. Joe issues 50 - 59. This was around where I stopped reading the series as a kid, so it was cool to see more of the on going story. There was some great unexpected moments like when the Pit was destroyed. So compelling and great story writing. There were some cheesy moments with Cobra Commander, but I guess that's who he is. The only annoying thing is that they keep introducing new characters and vehicles at a rate of 3 or 4 per issue and it just gets in the way of the actual story. You real...

Another decent volume. The internecine warfare in Cobra drags a little bit, but stuff like the rogue GI Joe unit and helping Destro reclaim his throne more than makes up for it.
Still good, but the craziness that would soon take over the title is starting to creep in with these issues.
The Joe team under government scrutiny, diplomatic recognition of Cobra Island, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes as a third force...what's not to like?
This is a collect of the old Marvel GI Joe stories. We get some stories featuring Zartan and the Dreadnoks, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Scarlet, and other fan favorites. The stories are action packed with the right dose of humor. The last issue in the collection was penciled by Todd McFarlane, and all of them were written by Larry Hama. Recommend to those who know, because knowing is half the battle.
