I ditched it after #61, when CC was "killed". I'd flip through it...
Stole my thunder, lol.
I dropped it after issue #3, though. I still have them and my LCS had them in their dollar bin a while ago.
Might actually give this a serious read after I get done with WCA...
I am down for extra Byrne/Milgrom era coverage. I reviewed them in the 2022 (?) appreciation thread.
My gateway into full-time collecting was with #321-323, so I always look at those with a fond...

I know he did the opening and closing pages to #394, but the rest was Bob Hall.
My inner child is screaming at the Shockwave figure with the prisoner Prime head.
Ohhh, the poor Optimus Prime figure my cousin and I broke to replicate that plot LOL!

Enjoyed both versions of the Serpentor origins in G.I. Joe, but...the comic wins hands-down for being a more likeable character. "THIS I COMMAND!" got old real fast......

1986 is my year of becoming addicting to collecting comics.
I'd been the occassional reader, mainly just when my parents wanted to keep me entertained during road/camping trips.
If I had the money...
I thought that with the Complete Cyberforce hc/tpb, that something new was coming down the road, but I think it was just celebrating the 30th anniversary of Image.

Catch-22 on the Joe/TF shared universe.
It unlocks all kinds of potential crossovers and the likes...

THIS.
When I started collecting full-time, I started with Hulk #321-323.
Didn't care about creative teams, just excited about seeing the Hulk take down both teams of Avengers and doing the same...
