This book is why
I had to “go back in time.” At the end of GI Joe #56, we learn that while the siege
of Seirra Gordo and the Cobra Terrordrome is completed, the ultimate fate of
Snake Eyes continues in this issue. While I normally hate it when a comic makes
you read another title for the conclusion of a storyline instead of finished
sequentially by ascending numerical order, I did happen to already have all of
the GI Joe Yearbooks. But I decided to read Yearbooks 1 and 2 first just to
make sure I didn’t miss anything. I’m glad I read this as it’s a loose sequel
to the famous GI Joe issue in which Snake rescues Scarlett from Destro’s castle
and the entire story has no words. The same here with Scarlett and Storm Shadow
saving the American ninja and I loved it!
This issue has
the obligatory review of everything that’s happened in the previous 12 issues.
It also has another article on the GI Joe cartoon. It was interesting although
the first dozen paragraphs seemed to be a rehash of the same articles in
Yearbook 1 and 2.
Lastly, there’s
a very funny short story in which Serpentor regales Dr. Mindbender with the
exploits of one of his past lives. It also means that the new leader of Cobra
might’ve been responsible for the invention of pizza.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 9 out of
10 stars.
