I really loved this issue. It shows just how smart Destro really is and how he plays things tight to the chest. Great battle with the Dreadnoks and Darklon and the rest of the G.I.Joe assault team.
If Falcon really got shot like that he would be at the minimum missing several teeth. I guess he will now have ugly scars the rest of time.

No kidding he always did have a big mouth so it was kinda funny to see that happen.

Loved it. This is what a Joe comic should be like. Lots of fighting, some political aspects, big plans.
Great stuff. Hama has been up and down with ARAH, this last arc was a definate up. I even liked Road Pig in this issue.

I'm loving all the sub-plots and how they are coming together. I love the use of lesser-known characters.
SPOILERS FOR UPCOMING ISSUES: jamar - I am so happy for you concerning 189&190's intro of a certain bad guy organization.

One plot point from this issue I eagerly look forward to see developed is Road Pig, and that brief instant he frowned at Zarana when she wanted to leave Pale Peony for dead after taking a bullet for him. Better watch your back from now on, luv. |

This issue was fantastic! Gallant I think is starting to be one of my fav artists. Everything about it felt classic and fan servicey but at the same time very new. I'm still wondering if the Cyber Ninjas in the Retaliation line are based on these blue ninjas and/or the BATS in the Cobra Command arc. They sorta look like them. I hope we see more of a Jinx and this just wasn't her popping in just to steal that info and that be it. that's sorta what it felt like.

I do wish Hama would get a continuity editor like jmm. He-himself-admits he doesn't remember s.e.'s facial reconstruction in issues 93-96. That's pretty important in the long-running series. I befriended him on facebook but for various reasons he doesn't seem to dig me too much but I've been with arah since '82 and am used to many of it's mistakes. But I have loved the last few issues ans
Spoiler alert I can't wait for major bliss's return. He hasn't been seen since 106 and he killed flagg in 19. I also appreciate the absence of the big-names lately- such as s.e.-scarlett-stalker-storm-shadow-etc. I wouldn't even mind revisiting some of the whackier characters that came from the 121-145 era. If darklon can be made cool-anyone can be made cool. But right now I'm just happy about the sub-plots. And utilizing lesser knowns. I do miss just seeing them on missions-though-i would like a lesser-known get an arc like ripcord got in the candy arc.

Oh-and I loved falcon getting shot in the face. I liked it better before it was toned down but it showed true toughness and that sometimes there are moments in war that are ugly.
