I just started collecting some of the comics by Marvel. I found issue #46 and and #52 at a local flea market for $5 a piece. I thought they both looked cool cause they both have Storm Shadow on the covers. I also have issue #49 that I got for $10 (First appearance of Serpentor, Lift-Ticket, Slipstream, and Leatherneck) and issue #114 that I got for $16 (First appearance of Metal-Head and Salvo). Upon reading (yes I actually read these when I can) Issue #46, I was intrigued by the plot of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow teaming up to raid Cobra Island to hunt down Zartan, while the other Joes look for Ripcord whom at the time Zartan pulls the old "switcheroo" with. So the Joe rescue team thinks Zartan is Ripcord and the Ninjas think Ripcord is Zartan. Needless to say I was like "I want to read what happens next!" So I ordered issues #47 for $9 and #48 for $21 (First appearance of Sgt Slaughter) respectably. Now I don't expect to read every single issue from 48 to 114, as I'm just reading casually more or less. My question is, did I pick a bad point to start reading? Or is this a suitable place to start considering it involves some of my favorite characters? Just asking for the professional opinion.

I'd personally pick the issue just before, #45, as a slightly better starting point: it contains the start of the story threads featured in #46, like Ripcord actually landing on Cobra Island and Hawk being promoted, and also has a fun sniper's duel between Zartan and Ripcord. Otherwise, Hama is generally good about working recaps of previous issues' plot points into dialogue, so you shouldn't be totally lost.
