I'm going back & rereading IDW's Joe run. I read Origins first (up to current), then the mainline, now I'm rereading Cobra.
For quite a while, I & many others assumed that the Chuckles storyline happened after Hawk knew of Cobra (at the earliest after their existence was confirmed following the Springfield debacle). I also assumed the same about Helix's infiltration of Cobra. But now that Helix is returning in the mainline (issue #23), I'm not so sure of the sequence of events. If Helix's appearance in issue 23 takes place after the story in her Special, then Hawk sent her to infiltrate Cobra long before. What do you all think? When do you imagine the mainline Joe book will shed light on Chuckle's insertion? |

The whole time, I've thought Chuckle's insertion was first, as it seems no one really knew what Cobra was at the time. Then Helix's. The Joes seemed to know a bit more about Cobra then. Finally Scoop's investigation into the cult side.
But by the time Helix appears in issue #23 she's already infiltrated Cobra, then the Chuckles storyline must have happened earlier: Almost as if Chuckles was working his way up Cobra when Hawk was officially still doubting their existence and scolding Scarlett for barking up the wrong tree. |

Yeah, I'm not sure when each story takes place. It's kind of hard to figure out.
The Chuckles stuff feels like it should be before the main book starts, but that doesn't make sense with the way Hawk reacts to SE/Mainframe being on the run because they found out about Cobra and Scarlett being (almost) Court Martialed for working with SE. Helix never infiltrated Cobra. She disappeared at the end of the special. If she did, then maybe her upcoming appearance will help shed some light on when everything takes place. Hearts & Minds is the same way. There's no definitive spot in the timeline that the stories take place. The Joe's seem to take place before they joined the Joes, but at the end they say "I am a G.I. Joe". It's the biggest thing I don't like about the IDW books.

I don't think IDW is this organized, but I just go with the idea that Hawk is sorta playing different people. I wouldn't be surprised if he and select others knew about Cobra long before he is saying they did.

Okay....maybe it's far fetched, but that's how it all works in my head. Never trust a General.
