Being a younger fan, this wasn't the first joe comic I ever read, but rather I managed to get it in its paperback form when Marvel released the first 50 issues. I find that in the older issues there's a lot more dialogue than in the newer ones, but I think it was necessary in order to introduce so many new characters all at once. I especially appreciated that we got to see all of the faces of our joes in the first few pages so that we knew who was going to be a part of this elite unit.

Also we get Cobra Commander's arrogance right from the get go, seriously, would it kill that guy to be humble, just once?

My favorite scene in this comic has to be near the end when the Mobat and the laser cannon (I forget the name, somebody will remind me I'm sure) and we see them from an aerial perspective. And I don't remember ever seeing anything like that in a comic series and from the comics I own, which isn't all of them, I don't recall seeing a tactical battle like that again. Which really is too bad because it was a really neat perspective. Anyway thats my two cents and perhaps a couple of nickels. All Canadian though, maybe it doesn't stand up to the American dollar as much, haha.
