I've never read the yearbook so I can't comment on that, other than loving the cover to death.

Issue 49 was okay by me. A really nice cover, although I doubt a mummy would still have an eye. I liked the concept of Serpentor and thought it added a little more depth to the book because the struggle for leadership of Cobra is always entertaining. Also this featured a lot of shows, rather than just a few here and there. And the guys finally locate Springfeild which was an ongoing idea since issue 9 I think. Next one was even better though.
