Background Issue 52 had a lot of political intrigue, assassination attempts, Storm Shadow turning over a new life and leaving revenge in the past. The Joes on suspension for a domestic attack will be continued in the future. But the looming threat of yet another attack on the PIT gives the readers a sense of doom and foreboding.

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.

Background Issue 48 had a lot going on! It was sad to see them cart Storm Shadow away. It was satisfying that Zartan has gone from an impostor to a prisoner. Time will tell what happens with Ripcord. Sgt. Slaughter has already become an excellent addition to the team. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 48 in case you missed it.

Background Issue 47 had a lot of action. But Baroness murdering Storm Shadow was very heavy. The scene of him falling face down into the shallow surf along the beach was pretty grisly. The parallel tales of Ripcord impersonating Zartan in Springfield and Zartan impersonating Ripcord at the Pit are about to come to the forefront. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 47 in case you missed it. (You can catch up on other “Now You Know With YorktownJoe” reviews there as well!) On to the issue This issue begins where…

Background Issue 46 featured Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow bursting through a wall, shooting up a lot of Cobra Island’s defenses. It was filled with lots of action and shoot-outs, as well as intrigue with the wounded Zartan assuming the role of the wounded Ripcord to gain access to Joe secrets. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 46 in case you missed it. (You can catch up on other “Now You Know With YorktownJoe” reviews there as well!)

Background Issue 45 was filled with lots of action and the reunion of Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow on a long road to revenge. We also see how Hawk cares about winning without regard to the safety of his men. At any rate, that win at all costs attitude earned him a promotion, and now he has full command of the Joe team.

Background Issue 43 was filled with lots of background flashbacks as well as current stories. The Soft Master worked his life trying to find out the Hard Master’s killer. But it appears he has gone to his grave after discovering this secret. We learned more about Wade Collins, an old army buddy of Snake-Eyes and Stalker. And some characters died.

Background Issue 42 was filled with dialogue and a few threads of different interwoven stories. The search for the truth of the Hard Master’s killer on multiple fronts. Candy trying to escape from Buzzer and almost killing him. Two of the original Joes in peril at the hand of one of their presumed fallen friends. It leaves us on a cliffhanger, wondering what will happen next!! Feel free to check out the review of Issue 42 in case you missed it.

Background In Issue 41, we saw intrigue and action as Cobra’s lawyers file paperwork for international recognition of the muddy chunk of Gulf floor that has risen to the surface. And all out battle by a ragtag bunch of weary Joes to try to kick them off it. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 41 in case you missed it.
