G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero, Vol. 19 (G.I. JOE RAH) Paperback – Import, 13 February 2018

Hama disappointed us with the fallout of his plan for the cobra installed senator in DC. Would have been great to see more development there.

This volume collects issues 241 - 245 of the ongoing series (and may it continue to be ongoing) and sees the Joes fighting on several fronts. The most interesting one occurs in the town of Springfield (Cobra's foothold in the U.S.) where various anti-Cobra factions combined to break into the stronghold to sabotage various plans of the terrorist organization. This brings back the spiritual return of Snake Eyes (who was killed off in what was perhaps one of the worst G.I. Joes stories ever), when the ninja’s mind in implanted into the body of a young girl via the Brainwave Scanner. This incident also heralds the return of an old villain, Dr. Venom, who is implanted into the mind of Dr. Mindbender. For those old time fans, you will recall the character was killed off in issue 18 when a grenade landed at his feet. He was later buried in a potter's field, but the character always had a lasting effect on the G.I. Joe universe in his creation, the brainwave scanner. Now he has returned in all his glory and reminds the heads of Cobra about their lowly beginnings. Specifically that the Commander started his career as a used-car dealer who raised millions in a pyramid scheme.

A great collection of g.I. joe stories.

Very good stories and artwork! Great read!

Dawn is the new hero and she is set to make a splash...living this so far and living the new direction
