I read Classic GI Joe Volumes 10 through 13, collecting #91 to #130. Large chunks of comics that I read in about a month.
Quick thoughts...
Sgt. Slaughter isn't a big deal in this universe. That's pretty shocking considering his cartoon presence.
I love this gag.
The Trucial Abysmia arc is an intense arc. It’s interesting to read it and think about its place in comics history. It’s a pretty violent book pre-Image and The Death of Superman.
Silly looking character. However his fate really got to me.
The Snake Eyes Trilogy is probably my new favorite GI Joe story, right next to the Silent Interlude.
#120 was an early comic I had as a kid. I can now see how it's heavily referencing #21. Really cool stuff.
I love this issue because I had a majority of the figures and vehicles that were featured in this issue like the Battle Copters, Combat Gliders, and Paralyzer.
The neon colored toys aren't as garishly colored in the comics. As ridiculous as the sub groups like the DEF, Eco-Warriors, and Ninja Force may seem, I still love it.
Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes, swords drawn, riding tanks. Insanely cool.
I had to look up this figure. I didn’t know that there was a GI Joe RC toy.
Great splash page of Snake-Eyes. Even the Red Ninjas are wielding Uzis!
It’s interesting to notice the later issues have less pages. It drops from 22 to 20. I wonder if it’s because of those profiles they had in the back.
On a side note, I took a good look at that Best of Larry Hams hardcover. Tempting since it's Absolute sized but the coloring in the later issues aren't good. They 're scanned and not remastered like the paperbacks so the half tone dots are distracting.
