Destro and the Baroness are thralls of Alpha 001 Prime. She leads them to a Revanche facility and enthralls their Iron Grenadiers here. They go down inside the building.
Alpha complains about all her soldiers losing their heads, then puts Destoness to work replacing them. While she is ostensibly the highest leader of the Blue Ninjas, she still connects to a hive mind to evolve. Any similarity to the earliest Blue Ninjas is gone, she doesn't even pretend to have blue and yellow fatigues.
The new form of Alpha is that of a giant spider, as we have seen several times before. She uses the phrase "fearful symmetry" to describe her hive mind.
Nearby, Zartan drops in on Crystal Ball which is delightful. Crystal Ball is a total loser who lives in a shuttered shopping mall.
In Africa, the Oktober Guard reunites. Even the dead ones. Stormavik, Shrage, Horrorshow, Brekhov. Dragonsky and Daina join. Dragonsky refers to Cobra as Crypto-Fascists.
We can, in hindsight, assume that all four original members inside the bar at first are all confused Revanche robot duplicates. I will attempt to use that logic, flawed though it may be, in future issues. By this logic, Daina and Dragonsky are "in on" the deception.
Therefore none of the robots know what is really happening, and they all are being lied to by the two human members. So Revanche has created a fake Colonel Brekhov and posted him in Springfield. Robot Brekhov is filled with glorious purpose to attack Cobra within Springfield.
At the Statue of Liberty, woke propagandist Hama tells us about violent Right-wing wackadoos who hate everything. They're gonna blow it up, man, don't tempt them. These strawman charactures speak in fever-dream buzzwords and they hate, boy, do they hate.
Snake-Eyes Sean and Scarlett drop onto the statue from a Tomahawk. Low-Light and Stalker are confused about what to call Sean. The Joes appear to have changed the naming convention originally established. It wasn't confusing having two Snake-Eyes but it is confusing having one Snake-Eyes who has a second codename also and everyone keeps swapping them.
There are a few good panels of action and sword fighting. Low-Light shoots one of them rednecks.
One of those eeeevil strawmen can't stop using racial slurs I've never heard in real life but he gets kicked in the nuts so that's good.
Scarlett shoots him in the hand with a quarrel then tells him that she hopes he gets stabbed with a rusty shank in the shower. Seems out-of-character, did she ever say that to a Cobra?
Cobra Commander is watching Sean on TV and suddenly realizes that Snake-Eyes is, indeed, alive and well. Which brings up my point from before once more: there was never a moment I remember in which his existence should have been in doubt.
There was the Night Creeper massacre at the cabin, there was no reason to expect a spy inside the PIT during the death of Snake-Eyes, and this hasn't been a plot point. In fact the plot points have all been that the transition was seamless.
Mindbender's plot isn't just to brainwash him in the scanner. Oh no. This time the machine has been altered with Blue Ninja technology and he will try to completely alter Snake-Eyes.
In the letters page a fan is real happy with Silent Option, and Larry brags about how he will have no problem keeping track of where all the characters are during his upcoming big opus.
