A
good example of the adage “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” The cover looks
weak. It looks like somebody took a Destro figure and plop him into whatever
this flying vehicle is and drew it. It doesn’t look real. It looks like
somebody copied it straight from the Sears Catalog- remember those? Heck, Destro even has a kung-fu grip on his steering levers!!!
But,
the story is awesome. It takes places at Destro’s castle in Scotland where the
Joes are keeping his property under surveillance while the golden domed arms
dealer and his girlfriend play house. Added to the mix is that Destro’s
neighbor has sold off some of his property and it’s been turned into a vacation
resort for RVs. Plus, the Broca Bros. Circus just came into town.
In
other words, Destro and Baroness are about to get a visit from Cobra and the pseudo-
Cobra Commander very soon.
I
loved the story. It was full of twists, turns, and absolute insanity. Cobra is
the master when it comes to sneaking an entire army under someone’s nose and
they do it so darn creatively. The only thing missing would’ve been the
Impossible Man being behind all of this.
This is a fantastic story full of subterfuge but the cover is just plain
awful.
Worth
Consuming.
