I like the ARAH GI Joe: Cobra Civil War.

 

+1

 

& GI Joe - issues 26 & 27

 

 

:)

 

That cobra civil war section had me sold for the toys so when I was a kid I bought the whole set of Destro's Iron Grenadiers figures and vehicles with some of my paper route money.

 

lol

 

Boy where my parents pissed.

 

They let me keep them though as a life lesson. Go figure.

+1 On Nexus And Dreadstar but with the latter you really need to read the Epic Illustrated stories & The Price.

 

Camelot 300 Limited Series

Fish Police the full run

Boris The Bear if you are into satire

Thor #337 through 380 something,the Simon run.

Camelot 3000 - very nice.

 

I came across this series for $5 or something many years ago and picked it up just b/c people talk about it a lot. I thought it was just horrible. Do people only remember this b/c it was so late coming out? Or b/c it was highly anticipated before it came out? (shrug)

Maybe people remember it because they liked it? (shrug)

 

It's been a while since I read it, but I thought the story was pretty good, and the Bolland art was fantastic.

Camelot 3000 was a nicely delivered series, with a good story and fantastic artwork.

I was just thinking about this series the other day. I remember it fondly, but haven't read it in years. I regret selling my copies. I compare it to Gilgamesh 3000, which I kept and reread every couple of years.
