I?d rather see the covers in the front of the issues too.

Agreed. Still, I?ll take ?em like that as opposed to NOT putting the last 15 issues in TPB form, which looks to be the case?

The "Murder by Assassination" issues felt like a new "season" and breathed some life into the line. For a bit. The main storylines of the IDW relaunch has always seemed to circle back to the "techno ninjas" stuff that Hama seems to love: Brainwave Scanner, Blue Ninjas/Revanche, and Snake-Eyes.

I also liked:
-The "Special Missions" and "Untold Tales" arcs.
-The story with Major Bludd, Lady Jaye and Chuckles in Southeast Asia
-The arc in Sierra Gordo with the Terror Dromes and Grunt, circa issue 195-199.
-The "Secret Origin of Dr. Venom" issue.

I'm probably forgetting a few, but the rest I can take 'em or leave 'em.

The non-Cobra issues that take place in the desert have been good too. The one with the ex-Marine US ambassador comes to mind and Black Major's appearances were interesting.

What you guys expect in 300th eiditon ? something special ?

[stopdead]

All we know at this point is that it’s more expensive so it’ll probably be ten or so more pages long. I wouldn’t expect much more than that from IDW.

What I expect is a poorly done cover and a story focus on the same five characters with an extremely rushed two page splash cramming in as many crudely drawn people as possible.

What I don't expect is words, because somehow no words now means special in the IDW Joe verse.

And don't forget the pin up cover that was produced ages ago and has nothing to do with the story inside.

I really hope that the next publisher produces proper covers. I'll forgive them if issue #301 is a pin up, but everything after that should tease the story inside. PLEASE?!?

And lots of Zarana.& Zandar, those eerie biker twins who are the younger siblings of Zartan!

But it could be the last edition.
