G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #300

SCORE: 66

Want to know a something? I found myself so excited to work through my pile of comic books to get to read G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #300. I am so thankful that I had the $6.99 to purchase a copy of G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #300. I went into G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #300 thinking it would be as advertised - the end of this era. The end of this comic book run. That is how G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #300 was positioned. Please be aware there will be spoilers in this review.

G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #300 ends with a cliffhanger. Many of the Joes are in a C-130 that is crashing down toward the Cobra Casino. This really disappointed me because my understanding is this series was wrapping up. It feels like that was done on purpose to try and force the publisher to let the storyline complete. In all honesty the writers had enough time to wrap up this story. Some of the wasted things that were done in recent issues are even more important now.

There are thirty pages of content then alternate covers, stop the bleed, and then some advertisements. G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #300 is three dollars more than the usual ones and it only gives us ten more pages. I feel like they ripped off readers there as well. There are plenty of duos in G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #300. We have Storm Shadow and Wade, Scarlet and Stalker, Cobra Commander and Dawn, Laura and Sean, Serpentor Khan and Dr. Mindbender, and more.

The Snake Eyes clone turns against Cobra and fights them off. The Joes come and save Snake Eyes. Serpentor Khan is afraid of Snake Eyes and winds up retreating. The issues families will have with G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #300 are blood, violence, and more. I am seriously bummed that the storyline did not complete. The senior drill instructor references they move on to a new duty station. Maybe another publisher is picking up this comic book. I do not know.

It sort of feels like readers are being encouraged to write the publisher about the comic book. The Snake Eyes clone in G.I. Joe A Real American Hero #300 can speak. That character is not properly explored in my opinion. I will try and find some back issues of this comic book when I get the time and financial resources. I am curious about past events in this comic book. I also need to go back to the original Marvel comic books and find out what happened after I left the comic book industry.
