Another Lee Weeks cover. His style seems rougher/old school here. He wasn't that old at the time. Indeed he's only 55 now. Poor Armadillo can barely be made out. And Sci-Fi! He actually appears in the...next issue.
And art change! Trimpe is back! I'd forgotten until rereading this for the first time since the last millennium. It almost would've been more fitting if he did issue 100.
Not sure going back to the freighter folks was the right move. Maybe the big reveal later with flashbacks would've been better. But I ain't no writer.
Tyrone and Zartan should not be on good terms.
Foward cargo hold caved in, but the part the people were in was okay. Hmmm.
Zartan is back to Mister Know-It-All. Thankfully after this, he'll be gone for a year or so.
Tyrone looks like Chuckles for one panel.
WHERE DID RAPTOR'S BIRD COME FROM? Come on!
Self-pity-Viper makes me sad.
"Ham and lima beans!" Hama is playing to his kid audience (then it should be liver) or he really hates ham and lima beans.
Zartan's top looks like some bad woman's fashion on page 6. Diss Fred 7 all you want, but that armor is better than a crop top! Of course, Fred forgot he had strength enhancers or he could just murder Mindy and Raptor right there. Anyway, it's Freddy's last appearance ....spoilers!...Zartan mocks Fred for making enemies but Zartan made powerful enemies...and that's why he's stuck where he is. Shut-up, napkin head.
Voltar, Croc Master and Firefly are nowhere to be seen.
Broca Beach falls to CC, because I guess Destro's people were ambushed or murdered or what? Also, the CG's lied and didn't take the Dreadnoks back to Cobra Island. Also, a cover town with a Cobra copter and ceremony in broad daylight.
Zarana is looking ugly here. But she commands the super human Roadpig and that impresses Cobra Commander more than a guy who can wrangle crocodiles. CC lays out the next 40+ issues "Make you second in command, Zarana?" (For some reason the CG's don't shoot Roadpig the moment he threatens CC.)
Page 9 opens with a Trimpe trademark. Extreme close-up of a character we've never seen before, in this case an ugly bus driver.
Since when are Mutt and Spirit best buddies? I don't remember.
Rust belt commentary. Only the poor and old blighters remain to die in decaying towns.
Uncle Jeff's got a big house. He ain't prejudiced or nuthin. And page 13 amounts to him telling us he's sitting around waiting to die. Kinda dour for a kid's comic.
Zarana is good at technobabble maybe she should be second in command...of the USS Enterprise.
Clutch has grown a full beard since last issue. Funny since Trimpe drew him with stubble for years. Senator Hegel escaped justice. Hollingsworth is now a Juggler? What?
CC talks about nullifying his most serious threat, GI JOE,...but what about Destro and didn't he just dispose of his worst enemies?
Make two joes wreck GI JOE HQ. Wow. Sure, CC "killed" the best saboteur in the world, a master of disguise, a capable merc general and an eccentric scientific genius, but Zarana was soooo worth sparing because she's got two brainwashed Joes that can do minor property damage.
Roxy and Tiff...just how far are they from civilization? Also, are they a nod to female fans? Chosing girl geeks was odd for that time, they weren't quite the in thing. Roxy' hat will change next issue, but so will Roxy and Tiff. Here they look like awkward teens...next issue, not so much.
Mobile Commander Center debut...well after toy was discontinued. Steamroller wearing a t shirt under his vest. Must be the chilly night air.
Lady Jaye don't give a frak about classified areas and not only reveals but lets two random teens into the Pit.
Zarana has flight helmet that matches her color changing shoulder armor.
Half of all Broca Beach buildings are secret hangers. Why not build a private airfield with actual hangars?
Interesting jeep thing there...very early GI JOE comics.
Also, Cobra is using actual sky cranes...until next issue! This is strange to see Trimpe doing the main title and using no post 1986 Cobra gear or troopers (besides poorly rendered Mambas). Who is that Viper pointing at? YOU! Cobra invasions are brought to us by donations from the ARBCO Group and viewers like you!!
Last page has one of CC's best lines "If we have the courage to be ruthless, the world can belong to us!" Great villain mindset, he combines a virtue with something negative.
Letters, DEATH LISTS. They found two more female reader letters.
Mixed bag of an issue. The art change mid-arc is glaring. Considering CC is supposed to be back with a vegeance, there's quite a bit of filler. Two teen civilians introduced for no good reason in a comic with too many characters already. Jugglering and ugly Zarana weaseling her way out of a well deserved execution (and showing no concern to her brothers' whereabouts). Plus, of course CC decides to send an undetected helicopter armada to take over a rundown town where two Joes will be. Because...comic book.
