Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Background Issue 66 was an interesting and satisfying end to the grisly Borovian captivity arc. We had ninja action, bad guys meeting justice, prisoners being rescued and final judgment being passed by Stalker. He definitely “had the high ground” both ethically and physically. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 66 in case you missed it. (You can catch up on other “Now You Know With YorktownJoe” reviews there as well!) The cover of this issue shows Lady Jaye punching Flint really hard. It is part of the story inside.I daresay if…

They are working on a rescue plan to bring back Stalker, Snow-Job and Quick-Kick who were taken prisoner back in Issue 61. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 65 in case you missed it.

Background Issue 52 had a lot of political intrigue, assassination attempts, Storm Shadow turning over a new life and leaving revenge in the past.

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.

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

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.

Now You Know With Yorktownjoe – Featuring G.I.Joe Marvel Comic Issue #2!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

Issue 2: Panic at the North Pole “Back in the day,” I originally enjoyed the Sunbow cartoon and began contemplating which would be the best figures and vehicles to work toward with limited resources. I earned chore money of 25 or 50 cents at a time (or maybe at a month). So it took a while to make the 2 to 3 bucks needed for a figure. I didn’t really collect comics at the time, but stumbled upon Issue #15 at a corner store in the middle of nowhere Michigan,…
