NOW YOU KNOW WITH YORKTOWNJOE ISSUE G.I.JOE #52 REVIEWED!

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. (You can catch up on other “Now You Know With YorktownJoe”reviews there as well!) On to the issue During the last review,…

CODE NAME: NEW2VERO2 RECAPS ‘Agent Helix Origin’s from Silent Options!’

In my quest to get old school G.I.Joe fans to start reading the new IDW G.I.Joe comics I really feel I don’t have to do much. Legend Larry Hama’s work speaks for itself. A lot of old school fans are immediately turned off with the mere mention of new modern character . But, if we want G.I.Joe to live on, we have to give them a chance, and so far I have been blown away by the new characters! The other notion is the SJW factor. We all know how terrible…

NOW YOU KNOW WITH YORKTOWNJOE ISSUE G.I.JOE #50 REVIEWED!

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. (You can catch up on other “Now You Know With YorktownJoe”reviews there as well!) On to the issue This issue begins with the…

CODE NAME: NEW2VERO2 REVIEWS ‘G.I.JOE SIERRA MUERTE #2′ from IDW!

Hello Friends, in this week’s episode we are picking up the action adventure in this all new issue of G.I.Joe Sierra Muerte. What makes this issue fun, is we get to see some old classic G.I.Joe characters like Doc, that have not been featured in a comic since the infamous Marvel Issue #109! We also get to see Hawk with blond hair! I think this issue has the feel of a Sunbow character episode over anything I’ve covered. I ask the viewer/reader to ask themselves the same question does it…

NOW YOU KNOW WITH YORKTOWNJOE ISSUE G.I.JOE #49 REVIEWED!

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.
