Background The previous issue began a story arc in the dreadful country of Borovia. Cobra has issues of their own, with the avian attired accountant Raptor and the greedy Fred VII shooting Cobra Commander in the back. It is troubling that the Joes are ordered not to undergo a dark op to rescue their own. This storyline crosses over with Special Missions Issue 6.

Background Issue 58 had a lot of action with Mainframe and Dusty and Rashid, and some interesting developments with Fred VII, Cobra Commander, and Billy.

Background Issue 52 had a lot of political intrigue, assassination attempts, Storm Shadow turning over a new life and leaving revenge in the past.

Background Issue 51 was a transition issue that carries the main story along, but moves the reader from the Battle of Springfield to what is coming up next in the story between Cobra and G.I.Joe. This issue did not have a lot of Cobra, and focused mainly on the Dreadnoks and Zartan’s siblings: Zandar and Zarana. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 51 in case you missed it.

Background Issue 49 introduced us to the more “science fiction” strand of the G.I.Joe legend and mythos. Synthesizing DNA harvested from various decaying corpses is not something we can do now, let alone in the 1980’s. But Larry Hama proves ahead of the curve on human cloning as a viable possibility for a story arc. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 49 in case you missed it.
