Background In Issue 35, the Dreadnoks took Zartan’s motorcycle on a joy ride, while Clutch, Breaker, and Rock ‘N Roll were enjoying time on leave before the two groups met. Zartan was not pleased with the Dreadnoks, and neither was Rock ‘N Roll. The issue did not go perfectly well for the Dreadnok Buzzer. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 35 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 is titled All the…

Background In Issue 34, we had a standalone duel featuring Wild Weasel and the Baroness in an updated Rattler versus Ace and Lady Jaye in the Skystriker.

April 29, 2018July 11, 2021 Serpentorslair StaffCobra, Cobra Commander, Destro, G.I.Joe, G.I.Joe Comics, Marvel Comics, Snake Eyes, Zartan0 comment

Background At the end of the 2 part Origin of Snake-Eyes issues, Zartan, the Baroness, Destro, Cobra Commander, Firefly and Wild Weasel are all in pursuit of the Joe recon team who has given them the slip. Larry Hama intertwined the ongoing story developing in the Florida swamps along with the origin story and the exciting ninja chase. Zartan was frustrated and said it was time to call in the Dreadnoks. The tease for Issue 28 on the last page of 27 was “Enter the Tank-Smashers.” On to the issue…

Background Major characters (and minor recurring characters) perished in Issue 19. Issue 20 was written by a completely different author and featured a stand-alone story. Issue 21 was the iconic Silent Interlude comic, whose story was told in pictures.This issue will bring us back to the main story plot-line. On to the issue. The cover shows Destro literally playing with toys!! He has a plane and he is strafing Joe figures. Okay, product placement is strong with this one.

Background In the previous issue, major and important side characters on both sides died. This issue does not address this in any way. It is as if this issue was not part of the main story line at all. More about that in a moment. Clutch was the first Joe I ever owned in the 3 ¾ line. I didn’t own this comic until much later, and was given a copy by a friend who had ruined his after reading it several times. (I might re-take some of the pictures…
