Well, it seemed to me to take place in the near future of the IDW title. Duke & Hawk are very similar in their interactions in the origins series. And the casualness of Cobra means it certainly isn't in current continuity with the regualr series, but rather in the future - maybe by only a few issues depending on the direction the current story arc takes.
What I want to know is about the band-aid. She clearly wears it throughout the story, not just during one mission. There has to be a significance. Why else give it to the figure as well? It's an interesting character and I hope they give her some more play time. |

No making her BORING is pretty boring.
Seriously, I know from personal experience the limits to how big a story you can tell in a 22page comic, but they gave her the personality of plain oatmeal. UNFORGIVABLE! That's not even saying that she was like an automaton, even THAT is different and unusual (in the real world anyway). Her personality and dialogue was just so AVERAGE! Peoples' personalities are formed by how they experience the world, and here you have a character that experiences that world in a way completely different than anyone on Earth, and she basically look/sounds like Jane Average? Also, why spend five-pages setting up her abilities in the beginning as being someone who could potentially hold her own with SE and SS, and when the payoff comes at the end, the big display of her prowess and ability is spotting a guy in a crowd? WTF? I'm sorry, but the writer and IDW was lazy phond it in. They were tasked with introducing a new character, and the only thing unique about her was her abilities, which aren't even that unique if you ever read a Deadpool comic. If anyone reading this hasn't bought the book already, save yourself the $4. The five page preview online is far and away the best part, and has 99% of her character development. I want my $4 AND the 15min of my life I spent reading this back. The Power Girl comic I also bought, by comparison, was tons of fun (Ultra-Humanite story, and we all know everything is better with monkeys!). |

This issue sucked. Helix was boring and described as being too powerful and I couldn't tell if this was movie or IDW. If its movie than Duke got way better but if its IDW why does Hawk care about Cobra? He doesn't know they exist!

i have to say the timeline thing bothered me too, i think they could have realesed this in the future after we find out about cobra in the main arc. Just so it fits in nicer with things. i know some people have been sayin it could fit in with the movie but how ? as it seems cobra has networks every were and the movie left of with them in jail.
as for the story i thing its hard to get anything meaningful in one issue (i thought it was a series? but apparently not) tho i liked somes aspects such as the art was cool as a change tho i dont thing id like to see it in the main gi joe comic which i must say is comin on nicely |

How many different issues has Helix appeared in? I've been looking for any comics with her in them, but haven't found anything. Is there a tpb that showcases all of her appearances?

Helix is a new character. The only comic she's been in is the recent one shot featuring her. I'm hoping to see more of her in the future though.
