Good read. Neat ending. Poor Dr. Mindbender. He took care of your dog, man! Cold.

I just finished the collected edition. It was fine, but in the end it just made reminded of Renegades and how much better executed this concept was there.

I’m so behind, I haven’t really read any IDW GI Joe comics, only some of the crossovers and all the Marvel, Image, DDP, etc... as well as all the IPC’s Battle Action Force an Marvel UK’s Action Force, so gotta catch up but its finding all the comics that’s the nighmare!

This I think could have been better, it was getting really interesting in it's 2nd half as we got more of the world, more cobra vs joe interaction, and meeting other GI Joe agents around the world, it also got lot more darker overall. But it got ended early clearly, forcing the quick conclusion which made it feel like it was missing potential.

This is a really bad angle and dilutes the Joes and military. It basically has made the Joes an informal military ad hoc unit that enacts guerilla warfare which is not what the Joe are on any level. It was based on the old Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during WWII and that was basically a covert action/intelligence action arm to subvert the Axis powers in Europe, read Nazis.
The Joes are well-equipped by all levels of the USG/Pentagon funding streams. This is just lazy by IDW and I am firmly in the camp they don't know what to do with the Joes and don't know how to leverage the IP. It's pretty sad. Whenever they do have a new character, it is usually pretty bad. Aubrey Sitterson's work comes to mind and those characters were an absolute joke. I wanted to puke when I read it. They should really just reskin real-world historical missions with Joes and Cobras. - Destro – Storylines involving this arms dealer and war profiteer are easily analog with the films Lord of War and War Dogs. - Cobra – In the film Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, the global group, The Syndicate, acted as both arsonist and fireman. Cobra could basically do the same fomenting revolts, civil wars, arming rebel groups through Destro, or rigging elections, etc. It is up to the Joes to stop them. - Extensive Enterprises and the Crimson Twins could fund the different actions by Cobra. They could use the corporate espionage angles to steal technology that Joe is developing and provide to Destro and M.A.R.S. for production rendering the Joe tech useless or neutralized. - Cobra tries to maintain legitimacy on the global stage and acts as an army for hire like many private military contractors like Blackwater, now Xe, Triple Canopy, and others. Imagine... - WET DOWN, WET SUIT, TORPEDO, and SHIPWRECK take control of a Merchant Vessel (MV), a tanker full of oil loaded from a Cobra-held port in a fictional country 1. The successful raid by Joes takes place in international waters off the coast of another fictional country 2; preventing a Cobra-supported splinter militia group selling nationalized fictional country 1’s oil on the black market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Morning_Glory - An American and an Australian professor working at the Fictional University of Country X in City X, were kidnapped; news reported that a few days later operators from GI Joe: East Coast, FALCON, FLINT, SCARLETT, STALKER, ROADBLOCK, ROCK n ROLL, attempted to rescue them. The operators parachuted (HALO jump) into Country X, but failed to find them at the location they searched, however, the news reported that there were no US service personnel or civilians were harmed and a number of "hostile forces" were killed. The US was never certain the professors were at the site, or if they were, when they had been moved. Some electronic media was recovered indicating the identities of those who were holding them, Cobra and the Dreadnoks which sparks a manhunt for Zartan and his crew…. - Dr. Mindbender is performing grizzzly experiments on a marginalized ethnic group at a secured location and the Joes have received intel on the location and the crew has to rescue and "liberate" the victims...Read Joseph Mengele during WWII. - Firefly has been dispatched to Cobra commander to sabotage and oil rig in the Indian Ocean and those oil workers aboard are going to die if the Joes don't rescue them. Cutter is dispatched with a team of Joes to rescue those trapped on the collapsing rig during a catastrophic oil spill like the BP spill about 10 years ago... Just reskin the real world stuff and it sells itself instead of these silly attemots to do soemthing new... KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid.... |
