Figure'd I'd send out a review of the issue. I know other people have talked about it, but I didn't see anything very ellaborate, so here's my two cents...
Characters seen (In context): Duke Hawk Flint Chuckles Torpedo Beachhead Tomax or Xamot (Possible) In the small story with Chuckles, he is approached by an individual who wears a blue business suit with red higlights and lapels and has brown hair. This is possibly one of the twins. Of note: It appears that Roadblock will be officially renamed Heavy Duty, according to the character design sketches, which include Duke, Destro, Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Baroness and Heavy Duty. Heavy Duty/Roadblock wears his V2 uniform. Larry Hama makes a comment of coming up with a new baddie to "out-bad Cobra Commander and Destro", and that Raptor will likely not make an appearance. There are three stories (which you porbably know about already), including Duke and others attacking a gun runner freight boat, getting the word "Cobra" for their troubles. Another story has Hawk (threatening with a gun???), asking Duke if he's in or out. Big surprise, Duke says yes. The final story hints at Chuckles' first encounter with Cobra, and gives you an insight to his character, which I relate to a noir toned protagonist in a military story. Overall, I would give this a B+, as the price is great for the stories, interview and sketches. There isn't much there, content-wise, but what is there is pretty good. |

Great issue for the price. Hama's pages definitely prove that the way he is handling this series is far different from the way he handled the comics in the comic packs(the story he wrote in this one is serious in tone, no kiddy elements whatsoever). I like how Duke poked fun at his given code name.

Read all 3 previews. Great stuff. Definately a more hardcore tone then either the Marvel or DDP stuff. DDP's America's Elite comes closest in tone, but still this isn't kids G.I. Joe anymore.
Same with the Resolute preview. No more A-Team Gun fights (where no one dies or gets hit). More realistic and more hardcore. Gotta love it.

Heavy Duty = Roadblock, I see. The character design is definitely Roadblock, but I wonder what his identity will be... Marvin Hinton or Lamont Morris? This is bothersome.
Loved this issue though... can't wait for me. For the record, I picked up the SE visor cover... I liked how it was embossed, with the matte finish. |

I'm actually very upset by this. I've always thought "Heavy Duty" was a stupid name. Roadblock was a great name and a great character. He showed up with Duke in the old Comic; they had both worked together as Rangers Instructors at Ranger School before coming to G.I. Joe (G.I. Joe Declassified). Besides being a classic character and one of the toughest Joes on the team, Roadblock is the only Joe from my home State of Mississippi. I'm very disappointed.

I hope eventually the Roadblock/Heavy Duty is rectified, they are different characters. |
