G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #10 - Video Review by 80s Comics

Welcome back to 80sComics.com for the review of GI Joe issue number 10 from 1983. Welcome to Springfield, a nice little town. It doesn't look that nice. Not very inviting.

The Joes are storming a Cobra building and of course Cobra is, at least in the earlier issues, a little bit smarter than they look sometimes. So they capture a bunch of the Joes. Scarlet, Snake Eyes, and Zap. Get through the ads because they suck. I like the old school G.I. Joe artwork here. Later on in the series they're not really drawn like that.

Rock and Roll is my favorite. They just don't use Rock and Roll enough. If you just gave giant heavy machine guns to Rock and Roll and Roadblock, they should just solve all the problems. You don't even need the rest of the Joes except maybe Snake Eyes for comic relief because Snake Eyes is awesome. Speaking of Snake Eyes, there he is strapped into a very overly complicated machine.

Displaying an apple. So they're trying to brainwash Snake Eyes. Actually, they're trying to read his brain. Not really trying to brainwash him so much as they're trying to discover the location of G.I. Joe's secret headquarters. And Snake Eyes, being the badass that he is, is fighting it. Nobody reads Snake Eyes' brain without permission.

And over here Scarlett is tripping and seeing things because they've got hallucinogens. They've captured Scarlett and Zap and Snake Eyes. So they're feeding them hallucinogens while they're in jail. Trying to read Snake Eyes' mind, meanwhile Scarlett's falling into the ground. It's a great issue. I forgot how good this one was. Is. I thoroughly recommend that you run out and buy this one immediately, or at least get one of the G.I. Joe compilations or collections that contains it. There's a bunch of those out there.

So apparently, Cobra has taken over this entire town. Maybe that was possible before the internet. Who knows. Perhaps the internet just made it easier.

Know it, which would be perfectly okay if they had a sweet video world arcade with a Cobra bunker in the basement. That's right, one of Cobra's most secret installations is located right below the Red Baron and Grand Prix arcade machines.

And they brainwash the teenagers who spot the Joes enter. And then they start attacking them because they're a bunch of junior Cobra officers. And that giant thing that looked like a fun laser arcade game is actually a real laser because that's how Cobra does things.

And Snake Eyes plays dead, but he's not dead because it's Snake Eyes. Kicks ass. Obviously the Joes escape, but it's a lot of fun. This is a great issue of G.I. Joe.

The ending is a bit ridiculous, which adds some nice comic relief to an otherwise adrenaline-fueled, non-stop G.I. Joe adventure. It's fun to look at the arcade and see what games they've installed in there. I don't see any Pac-Man.

No Pac-Man, no Ms. Pac-Man, no Truxton. What's the point? Well, Red Baron's a lot of fun.

G.I. Joe, issue number 10 from 1983. If you like the old school Joes, I think you're gonna love this one. It's a fun read. You can also find this in numerous collections and compilations out there.
