issue 274
Torpedo and Wet-Suit, both in their wet suits. Never fails to make me laugh. It's cool seeing a Crimson Guard Immortal stepping up into an officer role. I'm quite sure a word balloon went to the wrong person here. Cobra Commander looks like hell. I like the term "Siegie Immortal." Glad to see Laura is still babysitting Sean. Geez lol. Okay I don't like the colors on the tank battle. It's very bright, everything in the issue could use some toning down on the colors honestly. Except for the Alley Viper shield, that's on point. Oh, brick purse, you're silly. The robotic Oktober Guard takes an injury to one of it's only human members. I've always pronounced it "Diana." Am I doing it right, or is her name pronounced "Dana" instead? As long as it's not Volga. "How can he see us in the dark with our muzzle flashes obscuring our positions? It's Uncanny!" The air team is coming down the stairs and there's an explosion in the far back left, but I don't see any grenade launchers. Who did what? I still find it interesting that Zartan's character arc brought the Dreadnoks over to the side of the angels along with him. Unexpected. It would have been prosaic if he had to stand against them in the end. So out of that crowd of October Guard... only Dragonsky and Daina are humans I think. Everyone else was dead. At least robot Horror Show didn't throw himself on a grenade or something tacky like that. Yet. "So this is the notorious Mindbender lab," he says. Okay if Larry has the Snake-Eyes get in the brainwave scanner together and switcheroo it up in some way I'll be pretty disappointed. That Heat Viper is so surprised that I can feel his expression through the helmet. Oh look. The team needs to get off the buses. Now they're just a bunch of fish in the barrel. The vehicles are still at the wrong scale pretty frequently. Specifically looking at the Hiss with Brekov on it. There's a slight redesign to the Viper helmets here that I like. "Long Priest Robe Cut." Have we seen that since the android ninja of the Storm Shadows series used it? Overall it's coming together about how everyone was expecting. Some of the occurrences such as seeing Freefall in a hallway with Stop Shadow are enjoyable. This has been a fun story arc but I wouldn't mind it being 12 issues so that the battle can actually last a little while.

Pronounced “Day-nuh.”

Picked it up Friday and read it today.
Is it ironic that I don’t care that Diana is “hurt” or “killed?” Considering a dead team mate .....er....totally intentional robot version of him is concerned, I don’t think I will be. |

Didn't Larry tease that a major Cobra character would be biting the dust soon in the letters awhile back?
I could have sworn that he was finally going to put down Cobra Commander, and I legitimately believed it would happen in this arc. CC is my favorite character, *especially* Larry's CC, so I have read almost every issue of Stake Hunt with a sense of dread, just knowing that Shawn was going to usher The Commander into the great unknown at any moment..... I guess not? Also, I'm really tired of that brick in the purse gimmick and wish it would go away. |

I think he’s been saying a major cobra would die for quite some time. I think he forgot.

Can't wait until a GI Joe BUS is offered as a Collectors' Club exclusive!
The dialogue from the various characters is laughable. Stuff like: "look, they are proceeding back down the SECRET TUNNEL that connects to the Hospital".
