Ha! Truth. They repeatedly demonstrate that they could kill Cobra Commander whenever they feel like it, so I can only assume they choose to let him live.
Anyway, this is a great issue. There's lots of action, loads and loads of toys, and some dramatic moments that advance the plot. The 'death' of Storm Shadow was a pretty pivotal moment that appeared to resolve his storyline, although I am happy he returns a few months later.
There is some silliness, including the scenes where Doc ignores Zartan, they shoot the torpedoes, and they somehow get Zartan into the Dragonfly. But none of it is a total dealbreaker. It's easy enough to ignore.
And some of it is just so characteristic of GI Joe. The cover is well-drawn, and it reminds me of one of the toy illustrations where every GI Joe vehicle has like five or six guys hanging off the sides (even when it makes no sense at all). Come to think of it, it looks like they were deliberately reproducing the Devilfish's box art, with Beach Head as driver and Wetsuit hanging on.
I had to laugh out loud at the sharks vs. ninjas page. This is the kind of over-the-top lunacy that makes GI Joe what it is. This is
absolutely
the kind of thing we were doing with our action figures. Fun stuff.
