G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284

SCORE: 63

I decided to purchase a few of the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero comic books before I got back into the comic book industry. G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284 is one of them that I was able to find online. According to the front cover G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284 is part of a storyline called Murder by Assassination. This is the fourth part of that storyline. I know I am coming into it a little late but whatever. There will be spoilers in this review.

The issues families can have with G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284 are violence, and blood. There are multiple traps left by the bad guy in G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284. In fact they must run out of these buildings before they get blown up. They do get some tips and hints along the way. The bad guy gets away by giving people a lot of cash to trade places and passports with him. The Joes know where he is going though.

G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284 has twenty pages of content, next month's cover, Postbox the Pit, an ad, four pages of a preview of Bermuda, and then some more ads. The back side of the front cover of G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284 contains Sitrep, alternate covers, and the credits. The Sitrep is a recap of what has been going on in this storyline. The Joes are hunting down Al Kawbra. They are in southeast Asia to try and apprehend him. Al Kawbra is part of Cobra.

The one victory the Joes can bank on in G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284 is they secure the warheads. Local goons are easily disposed of in G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284. Roadblock even has a moment that could be defined as humorous. Cover A is the cover I purchased of G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284. That cover shows all these characters that are not in this comic book at all. Why so deceptive?

Al Kawbra is a pretty bad guy in G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #284. He murders an official when the previous bribery money was not enough. He then uses the outfit to help himself hide the warheads and escape. I am very curious to find out who Al Kawbra is. Firefly and Storm Shadow both come to mind. I am not clear what their status is in this comic book. Zartan would be another potential candidate now that I give it some more thought.
