Sure looks like him! Not very familiar with Ultraman, good call.

I'm honestly not a huge fan, but Pigmon has a face you never forget. LOL.

Issue #239 is live to discuss. Yo Joe!

issue 239

Dawn's bus gets pulled over on the way into Springfield. Is this the police roadblock set up to catch Heather? The Springfield SWAT would have made a GREAT army builder back in the 80s.

Dawn gets picked up by a total creeper. So you know it's going to end badly for him. Dawn then takes out a Cobra Policewoman to use her uniform for infiltration.

The Darklonia team recons a Revanche facility guarded by Vipers. They attack a shipment out of the facility. One brief firefight later and the Joes are stealing a crate (confiscating?) and Sneak-Peak has been "hit pretty badly." Wow that was faster than I remember. Some Cobra Rages are always cool, Roadblock, Spirit, and Grosz stay behind to slow them down. Grosz says "it's a good day to die" and Sneak Peak apparently agrees.

Tommy, Sean, Obake, and Zartan continue into Springfield. This is a pretty big milestone in the Zartan character recovery as he is on the path to eventually joining the Joes on an actual mission in the future, and very shortly will lead the Dreadnoks in a subterfuge to exfiltrate these characters out of Springfield.

Heather Collins watches the news with the nosey neighbors providing some narrative exposition. The openness of Cobra operating in a town so blatantly really should be capitalized on in a movie if they ever try to focus on ARAH again. The newsman wears a Python Patrol suitjacket. This is the family from whom Dawn receives her Crimson Guard Immortal uniform.

Wendy Ling-Torres is back, now being brought into Springfield for further manipulation by Mindbender. Mindbender brags and Fred days down a "if I were a sycophantic lick-spittle I would agree with you 100%" which is a pretty funny Hama-ism. In the background is an Immortal, whom is probably Heather. And it is. She just bleached her hair from the black color it has been for several issues now to blond instead. Because if you want to really blend in…

Dawn arrives and declares that she wants to get rid of Snake-Eyes' memories. Heather will help. The ninjas in Zartan's van arrive.

In the letters page, someone requests the introduction of Helix.
