Well,
this marks the end of reading individual GI Joe issues. I got a lot of trade
credit for my birthday and I finished off my collection of the regular series.
That meant no more single issues and hello trades!
For
volume 10, there’s 10 issues and a lot goes on. It’s going to be hard keeping
everything straight but I will try. Rock and Roll and Clutch end up being
brain-washed by Cobra after the stumbled upon the secret of Broca Beach. The
Joes plan a rescue but it’s the Baroness who actually saves the hostages when
she frames Zartana, the new leader of the Dreadnoks.
Speaking
of Dreadnoks, Zartan becomes the latest in a long line of Cobras who see the
error of their ways and turns to the forces of good. In a great issue that not
only reveals Zartan’s origin but his real face as well, the master of disguise
attempts to right past wrongs by teaming up with Billy, the son of Cobra
Commander in hopes of revealing to the world that the terrorist leader is
actually a Fred clone in disguise.
Volume
10 also contains the Snake Eyes Trilogy. This storyline has many shocks,
including Baroness’ origin, a reveal of Snake Eyes’ damaged face, and a new
face for the American ninja. What’s more- the man behind the mask of Destro is
finally revealed.
Lastly,
a dead man comes alive! If you don’t want to know, stop here.
Cobra
Commander- the real one- is back and he’s badder than ever before! Out to kick
butt and take names, the true leader of Cobra ousts his usurpers and traps them
inside the volcano on cobra Island. But before Cobra Commander can destroy the
Dreadnoks, they get a small reprieve when the plain behind the brainwashed Joes
are used as a bargaining chip. However, it’ll have to wait until volume 11 to
reveal the ultimate fate of the brainwashed Joes as they just isn’t any more
room in this book to put so much awesome collection! Every issue was
brilliantly crafted and it was an incredibly fast read with many questions and
facades finally revealed in living four-color! I loved it!
Worth
Consuming.
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars!
