Comic CC over snake-humanoid CC for sure!

Definitely prefer Comic Breaker. It's not so much a matter of preference since he was barely in the 'toon anyway, but Comic Stalker was a fantastic character. Comic Hawk was far superior to his cartoon counterpart (though I do get a kick out of the fact that Hawk's fondness for Mrs Meadows' Cookies allows CC to bug him in the DIC toon and wish that Comic Hawk liked cookies, too). My favorite version of Snake Eyes is the 91 action figure. I don't know what his filecard says, but I always thought he looked super cool.
I got a little tired of seeing all the bad guys turn into good guys as the comics progressed. So I strongly prefer cartoon Destro, Baroness, and Zartan. Destro gets to be "honorable" and remain a bad guy, Baroness is cool with rocking a bikini for a whole episode, and Zartan's powers of illusion are so strong that his hood sometimes becomes his hair. Frankly, I prefer 'toon Storm Shadow as well. I didn't love the Spirit rivalry like some do, but I thought it was neat that he seemed to be the only Cobra who never threw his Team Commander jersey out for Team Emperor. Comic Serpentor was awesome, though, and so was Mindbender. Major Bludd was cool enough in the cartoon, but he had a whole lot more to do in the comics. Comic CGs eat Toon CGs for breakfast. I love Sunbow Season 1 Cobra Commander - particularly during the Weather Dominator saga. DIC Cobra Commander is amazing, too. He poses as a superhero, writes an autobiography, opens up an amusement park, and teams up with G.I. Joe for the sole purpose of stealing money from a drug dealer. His comic counterpart is extremely compelling in the early issues since he's essentially the opposite of what we got in the cartoon, but, if I'm being honest, I liked Comic CC best when he came back from the dead and was a bit on the crazier side. I guess I talk about the Commander too much, but, in addition to being my favorite character, he's probably the one who has the most substantially different versions in the franchise. Impel Cobra-La. Thought it was very sad that they added Crystal Ball to the group, but I liked that the way they handled the concept. |

Responding to an old comment here, but I just wanted to point out that Roadblock did actually throw out the occasional rhyme in the comics. There's a panel in I think issue #41, where he fires on a FANG with an infrared spotter beam and says "Point that beam up in the sky...and make those missiles whiz on by!"

In general, I prefer the Sunbow versions. They just did a better job of writing most of the characters. Hama was so stuck on 3 or 4 characters they all got really pretentious and tiresome, and most of the others don't have much personality at all.
Cartoon CC in particular is more interesting and more fun (and more competent, oddly enough!) than the version from the comics. (And the Cobra-La origin is a retcon, I'm going with the one he gives in the actual show about realizing at a young age that he could run the world better than the idiots in charge) Duke is crankier and more fun in the show. Destro and the Baroness are undoubtedly evil in the show, whereas the comic versions are sorta wishy-washy. Flint and LJ are a better duo, with the strengths and weaknesses of their relationship shown. They also offer a good contrast to Destro and the Baroness' sick relationship, lol. One exception is Hawk. Though the comic version makes some questionable calls, he's probably better than the Sunbow version. Edit: I also like the Steeler Clutch and Breaker buddy dynamic from the early comics. Wish Hama had used that for more issues. Last edited by SnowCat; 03-18-2022 at 04:21 PM.. |
