I wonder if they will ever really touched on rank at all. They haven't said much since the first issue with Duke as an E-7. They added Keel-Haul and he didn't even seem like he was in charge.

Haven't been around alot lately. The comics site is taking alot of my time. New puppy takes up alot too, lol. Getting annoyed with alot of people too. There's alot of really pathetic people on the 'Net. So how do we want to work the web discussion thing? Chat room? E-mail? Want everyone to be able to participate but need to keep it somewhat organized.

Deep-Six was in charge of the Terrapin. Shipwreck was in charge of the team on the Dreadnaught (including Torpedo and Keel-Haul). Scarlett seems to be Hawk's XO.

I suppose this is the new improved Navy SEAL Shipwreck though, so he and Torpedo are on a par re training, and as Shipwreck has been out of the reserves for longer..... perhaps that counts for more than rank these days? (or perhaps it's Torpedo's cold fish attitude ;) Re. my comment about Keel Haul - why was he even included, unless he has experience of commanding large subs and they needed him to drive it if they managed to take control? No idea about the Scarlett/Hawk setup. |

I think Keel Haul was there for:
1 - to have a name character that would make people go "Wow, It's Keel Haul" 2 - to use said name character in a way that reinforces "this is not the Joe you knew"

I agree that may be the reason he's there. I couldn't tell if he's one of the operators getting on the Cobra Sub. And why is Cover-Girl there? And he's wearing an officer's lid so he should outrank everyone anyway.

They could have used Tracker instead of Keel-Haul. Keel-Haul was never SEAL. They could have used Wet-Down. I don't know, to be honest, I'm seriously thinking of quitting Joe comics altogether. This IDW stuff is pretty terrible...
How about this... Suddenly, ORIGINS is no longer about character origins, but is somekind of "prequel" storyline. However, "Hearts & Minds" and "Cobra" have turned into character origins. And Hearts and Minds is just a glorified file card. All total it's about $20 per month I could save. I'd rather be reading Green Arrow.

I really enjoy the IDW stuff for the most part.
Origins is still origins, lol, we saw Zartans origin. I think they really need to define the books. Keep origins stuff in Origins, etc.. They never specified if the sub crew was SEaLs or not. I'm thinking not since Cover Girl was along. It was supposed to be the shakedown cruise for the Remora. They weren't planning on assaulted a Cobra sub.

But why was Cover Girl there at all? She's not a sailor. Just doesn't make any sense. I'm glad you're enjoying the books, Troy. I'm just not. It's expensive enough to keep up with the DCU.

This is why my best-friend says I would have been a bad person to play GI JOE with as a kid. I was so wrapped up in reality and the way things are supposed to be, to the extreme and didnt have any imagination. Shame on those superheroes and entertainment changing the rules of physics and any portrayal of the military.
