Good issue, though not as badass as the last one. A tad cartoonish.
I feel this issue sort of signals the end of the classic era. Whigham only has one issue left. The next year has too many stay-home issues, which leads to a lot of old favorites not getting face time except for crowd shots. The new characters from now on will struggle to become integrated into the Joe mythos in a lasting manner. 1987 in general wasn't a great year for the toyline.
The troops carrying Snakes have a 50/50 ratio of Officers. Cobra needs to stop handing out promotions so easily. Though I guess defeating Snake-Eyes should earn them all a pass into Siegies.
Awesome debut for Lifeline. Dude can barely sneak into the panel. I actually prefer the dull Doc2 colors, though. Oh well, he'll get his moment. I'm guessing Whigham drew him without permission and Hama went "ohhh right, that guy", and hastily wrote a SM.
I can't believe the Grunt as Archie storyline didn't go anywhere. I mean, who'd want to see jungle action when they can read about the most boring Joe taking a stroll?
Pancho Villa thinks a team of Recondo and Dial-Tone is as good as the team from last issue. Not quite. The one from last issue was the most badass of all time, alongside the Springfield elite combo. They try to even the odds with more replacements, but it's a pretty boring and obvious selection, so no.
If Lifeline's debut was bad, it sure sucks to be Lift-Ticket. Three appearances, ranging from wrong colors to silhouette to now just a smudge on the windshield.
Even bald Destro is superior to the later Mr.Boring reveal.
