Cover art is great, have to make allowances for its liberties, like where is the rest of the WHALE in that scene?
The locals mocking the JOES...I attribute this less to the southern stereotypes and more to post-Vietnam anti-military sentiments. It won't the last time civies make life tough for the Joes, but such a scene today in a modern comic wouldn't make any sense. Anyway, enough politics.
Firefly is well drawn on page 3. Too bad the colorist thought Destro neck was silver and his medallion flesh colored.
Now for the Springer bashing...that ain't no Rattler I ever seen before! Did Wild Weasel's plane have shape changing abilities?
New Joes on page 4. The mustached stretcher bearer wearing a green Duke shirt and red turtle neck. Apparently his name is Bank-Shot...according to dialogue I'm misinterpreting for fun. Or that's the name of white-Doc (Doc-Fuze? White-Coat?). I guess the black haired guy is Clutch? Or his clone, Double-Clutch.
And on the last panel, Roadblock takes off his fake mustache he usually wears.
The SWAMP PEOPLE crossover event! Destro and Firefly catch someone poaching gators at night! Will Firefly make a quarter-sized kill shot on him?
Cobra Commander has a rally...doesn't wear his hood. Dude's got it backwards again. Odd Crimson Guard uniform. Code name "Smith" but we'll never refer to that again.
Noble Destro kicks a tied-up man into harbor waters...that's murder, Destro. So much for honor.
Firefly does well considering the WHALE's .50 turret mount had been broken previous issue. If they fixed it, they didn't say...I dunno. Where's my "I Dunno Prize"
More "careers in southern law enforcement" adventures with the local cops...how did the hydrofoil passing over unbutton their shirts? It's all totally unnecessary comic relief. Maybe Hama was mocking the south.
Diner big enough to drive the WHALE through...uh...no.
Destro now has invisible wrist rockets on both arms.
LOL at Tripwire's scared face. LOL at Wild Bill scaring Duke, too.
Unknown Joe firefighters.
"Cutter's been acting weird, Duke..." never mentioned again, is it? Cutter is obviously reckless.
Tripwire's chance to shine gets stolen by a short timer and Roadblock's (ridiculously lucky) throwing arm. It's like Hama was mocking Tripwire and Duke in this issue. Of course, RB could've unknowningly killed people on deck.
Tripwire mentions Topside, but he won't be a joe until 1990. Where's my "No, Duh, Prize?"
Toy-comic disconnect...the WHALE's depth charge are too small on the toy for Destro and Firefly to hid in...they should've use the spring launched Recon Sled!
