GI Joe #59


G.I. Joe (1982-1994) #59B
The Joe team is on maneuvers in the Colorado Rockies where they’re attacked by Cobra Commander and a man in a giant bird costume flanked by a bunch of birds of prey. This is perhaps the weirdest use of birds as weapons of mass destruction since the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
There’s a fantastic chase scene between the Joes and Cobra Commander in his new POGO Plane. The baddies vehicle might look stupid, but the crazy scenes that take place in the Colorado Rockies and a very narrow tunnel are amazing. Kudos to the art team for this!
Plus, Cobra Commander’s son, Billy has awakened from his coma. Of course, he’s got amnesia. But, there’s a dojo next door to Billy’s father’s new hide-out, Might it trigger some old memories of his training with Storm Shadow?
The answer: Of course it will! But how this plot twist will play out with Cobra Commander’s new plans to retake his criminal organization remains to be seen and I eagerly wait. Knowing the legendary Larry Hama, the results will be epic. Only time will tell.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
