Okay, I finished Joe/Cobra Vol 1. And I'm watching Daredevil.

I wonder if there is a real-life "Semyon" in the Gages' pasts.

The Tomax/Xamot special is very well-done. I remember seeing articles about it when it came out, and it was nice to finally read.

I have internalized a lot of this world/interpretation even without having read it, that shows how seminal this volume is. I'm surprised there hasn't been a CG figure from this design, but it's probably because the classic design is so excellent and preferred.

I don't love everything in this book, but it's definitely top-quality. Good for the Gages, and I hope they build on their current success with Daredevil.

Destro, if you're leading that this series would make a good film (G.I. Joe 3 - with the Twins), I can definitely see it. At least there is a solid foundation for it. It would be a little thin for me if translated directly, though. Just not enough Joe, not enough Cobra, overall. Expansive, but missing density.

What I enjoyed the most about Cobra was that we really got to see the inside of the organization and even the office work side. But it was still all through the eyes of a Joe. A really great mix.

Fuso's art is best when Chuckles is fighting and getting hurt as he fights. Almost of those scenes are my favorite artwork sections, otherwise his style is quite the perfect fit, but its good enough to match the awesome storytelling.

And most certainly when Christos Gage was getting ready to be hired for Daredevil. Now doubt someone at Disney read GI Joe Cobra and where as blown away by it as we were.

I made it through the Cobra Civil War and Cobra Command series. I am up to the Oktober Guard TPB.

Even though I was careful to not overlap and get the same TPBs, I still screwed up and got doubles. It is hard to separate, but Deep Terror TPB is already compiled in one of the larger collections: Cobra Command maybe. EDIT: I'm wrong about that. I'm just confused about the order, going back to check it out.
