G.I. Joe – Classic Reread: Special Missions ‘Best Defense’
As some may know, I’ve started my reread of the the G.I. Joe run first published by Marvel, via the collected TPBs recently published by IDW. Recently, I started reading the Special Missions (also published by Marvel, 28 issues – ’86-’89) and I figured I’d sprinkle in an issue of Special Missions coverage after every third issue I go over of the main series. Before getting its own series, the first Special Mission can be found as an extra in issue 50 of the main G.I. Joe

Classic G.I. Joe Reread – Issue #3 ‘The Trojan Gambit’
This is a continuation of my issue-by-issue review of the classic G.I. Joe comic series originally published by Marvel Comics, and now reprinted by IDW via trade paperback. Please check out the index to view previous reviews, particularly the first installment (if you have not already) as it offers a bit more in regards to initial perspective. On to issue 3, “The Trojan Gambit…”

Jan-ken-pon – Classic G.I. Joe Reread: Issue#1 – Operation Lady Doomsday
Some may remember that I did some reviews of issues of Marvel’s G.I. Joe run over at my blog. It had gaps in it because I was going off of a lot of issues I had just bought, and decided to run with it (I called it A Cup of Joe then, and no I was not aware of the Joe Quesada feature–I really don’t pay attention to stuff like that). I’m going to continue it now, but start from the beginning, utilizing IDW’s collecting of the former Marvel run. When I get to those I have covered at my blog, I’ll bring them over to BSC, so basically we are going to have a lot of Joe goodness going! This is the first part in me relaying my experiences as I reread the collected volumes of the original Marvel run of G.I. Joe reprinted by IDW (the first vol. includes issues 1-10) It is going to be an issue-by-issue breakdown, so make sure you come back to get scoop on the second issue. This first post will probably be substantially longer than the rest as I’ll go over a lot of the establishing points that permeate from issue one on.
