NOW YOU KNOW WITH YORKTOWNJOE – G.I.JOE MARVEL ISSUE #59 REVIEWED!

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. But we aren’t really sure what is ahead at this point, as the issue had a good ending, but no hint of what was to come. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 58 in case you missed it. (You can catch up on other “Now You Know With YorktownJoe” reviews there as well!) On to the issue The cover of this issue…

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.

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.

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

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…
