Right off the bat we have a rocket fired at a low, slow helo, foreshadowing the 13 Chinooks downed by enemy fire in Afghanistan . . . oh, wait, no one in Cobra can shoot, and it doesn't matter that no one in the Tomahawk is strapped in because people can't fall out of helicopters.
Budo is missing from this sequel to Cobra/IG deception. Maybe there are laws against random sword use in New York. But nice use of Repeater, Muskrat, Shockwave and Lightfoot. Though there was some poor planning if Repeater, the machine gunner, is also the acting medic. Wait a sec . . . doesn't Stalker have "medic" as secondary MOS on his file card? . . . Lifeline is too late, on the backup chopper in his grey blob outfit.
We get the return of the Domestic Operations Agency! Their hats and suits are as out of place as ever, but between the suits and ad agency they're doing a fine job of playing Mad Men!
Cobra has some former boy scouts, tying girth hitch knots! Their "Iron Grenadiers" were using Viper rifles and Tele-Viper comms gear, which might have been a clue before the Toxo-Viper gas gear came into play. That was a neat little detail. The Cobra team is well balanced with Vipers, Tele-Vipers, Techno-Vipers and Toxo-Vipers all playing logical, coherent roles. If Firefly hadn't been there perhaps they could have used an Eel.

I say he does. He had the job of breaching those sandwich walls, which he did with style. He got the discs. He got them to a drone. He got out. Wasn't anything left for him to control. The drone pilot, on the other hand . . . was that Mindbender?!
As for the portable helos (sigh), there are some ways that Joe is a bit weird. It's full of "futuristic" (for the '80's) tech, like the lasers, but also keeps looping in failed 1950's ideas like jet packs and those helicopter thingies (

).
Anyway, I enjoyed the issue.
