Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis was a blast from the past. I remember playing this game on PC way back in the day. I was struggling to remember the plot before diving into this and the comic did very little to bring much of it back to mind. Indy discovers the secrets of Atlantis and races to stop the Nazi's from gaining a deadly weapon. This adventure had some very "Indy moments", but largely fell flat as a story. I think much of that was due to all the puddle jumping the characters went through. It just had too much going on.
Indiana Jones and the Thunder in the Orient was a step in the right direction, as Indiana Jones finds himself in an adventure to uncover the mysteries around Buddha's scrolls. Here we see the return of Sophia Hapgood from Fate of Atlantis and Infernal Machine fame. (Both fun Indy games) It was also nice to see Brody in this one. I liked this story much more, but it runs a little flat over all. Nothing to thrilling, just hitting the beats.
Indiana Jones and the Arms of Gold is the shortest story, but my favorite by far. This series had the best artwork of them all and the best story. Indiana Jones is yet again visiting Peru in search of an Incan artifact containing great power. This one just packs the most punch.
All in all I would say that any real Indiana Jones fan will find things to enjoy about these stories. They read like a serial hero that Indiana Jones sets out to be. The artwork does little to capture the likeness of the characters, but that didn't ruin anything for me.

If I had enough money, I would find a way to pay for all of these to become movies.
