NOW YOU KNOW WITH YORKTOWNJOE – G.I.JOE MARVEL ISSUE #62 REVIEWED!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

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. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 61 in case you missed it. (You can catch up on other “Now You Know With YorktownJoe” reviews there as well!)…

Background Issue 57 had a lot of action, but even more intrigue. Why was Major Bludd masquerading as Destro? What will the Joes do with the intel they gained? Time will tell!

The POP EXPOSE Discusses ‘The Toys That Made Us’!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

I was watching the episode of The Toys That Made Us G.I. Joe last week. Man It is such a great story. The few guys who had such a passion to create G.I. Joe then pitching it and convincing someone to make toys, comics, and cartoons. Not once but twice. First the original pitch of the 12 inch Joe in the 60’s which basically was pitching a doll to boys similar to the Barbie in size, but this was not a doll, this was an Action figure. Complete with military…

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

I held off doing this comic recap because I wanted to include this emotional issue of G.I.Joe in Cobra Convergence IV. We take a break from the ‘Artificial Intelligence’ storyline , to reflect back on the Joes Lost. This is a special issue paying tribute to OUR Veterans and to those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. Any form of hate or discrimination, is disrespect to our brave men and women who go out and risk everything for OUR Freedom. In this recap, we go back to the past to several…

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

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

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.

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

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , , 0 comment

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.

NOW YOU KNOW WITH YORKTOWNJOE ISSUE G.I.JOE #48 REVIEWED!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , 0 comment

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…
