GI Joe #77


G.I. Joe (1982-1994) #77B
This issue is more low key as the Cobra Schism is over and it’s time for both Joes and Cobra to pick up the pieces. There’s an uneasy truce as it appears that the Joes picked sides with the loser. Thankfully, the victor of the Cobra civil war have allowed for the soldiers to return to the states peacefully. But expect a colossal catfight between Lady Jaye and Zartan’s sister before the withdrawal of the Joes concludes.
As well as the mother of all non-super powered comic book girl fights, there are a number of secrets being revealed. True, this intrigue is actually out hat to me, as the matter as to who is actually inside the Cobra Commander suit is quickly becoming the least secure secret in the Gulf Coast. Also, the crap looks to hit the fan as Hawk and Gen. Hollingsworth are summoned to the Pentagon to answer for the Cobra schism debacle. Expect the Joes to come under scrutiny and fire in future issues.
This issue was raucous fun and full of surprises. Again, I’m stumped as to why Scarlett, Snake Eyes, and several other key Joes were never involved in this new campaign against Cobra.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
