[Brent · Rating 5 out of 5]

This classic run of G.I. Joe comic books is one of my favorite stories of all time. I have been reading and rereading these tales since I was 9 years old. I've no doubt that some level of nostalgia is involved in my fascination but I also believe that these are great stories by any standard.
This hardbound collection is a great way to experience the G.I. Joe saga. The fact that the publisher doesn't seem to be able to complete it is a bit frustrating but that takes nothing away from the stories themselves.

Great except this is where the collection ended. At issues 76 of the main series and I can't recall when of Special Missions. I never heard why they stopped but I was sad when it did. This is a great format for some very fun comics.

thinning on the bonus material than preceding volumes, and a few of the more popular Joe's are absent throughout (Snake Eyes, Stormshadow, and Stalker most noticeably) but the production quality and annotations are just as good as ever.

It was good, getting more intricate, though. Political, military vocabulary, and as a veteran hitting nicely with the average soldier's mindset. You can see Larry Hamas's military background coming into play.
