Agree. This issue was decent as the last few issues have been crap. But it gets ridiculous with all these soldiers right on top of each other and no one gets killed or wounded. I'm assuming 99% of the people reading this comic are over 40 yet the comic seems more geared towards kids than when it first came out. I'm not calling for issue 108 clone. But a guy here and there getting killed would just up the stakes of the comic. Even with snake eyes supposedly dead I don't feel like anyone will ever be killed in this comic.

I've been reading this comic since 1982 and if anymore of my favourites, (was a big Breaker fan), were killed off I'd probably stop.

It's felt for years like the Joes just have cheat codes on. When's the last time Cobra has achieved even a minor victory of any kind? The drama has been completely obliterated by lack of stakes and ninja flips. Technically, #274 wasn't that bad. A big action scene with a ton of Joes. But I just couldn't be arsed to get invested in it in the least. Years of slow-build, lack of stakes and accidental resurrections has made everything meaningless. I think I'm at the point where after #275 I can't even be bothered to read the comic for free.

Killing a character is hardly going to help when they'll just be accidentally resurrected down the line. The problem is, like you say, the absolute lack of stakes. You don't need to kill characters to have stakes. Take the original Springfield story, for example. The splash page has the Joes lugging around their wounded while running away from a Cobra army. Instant stakes established, and you didn't need to kill anybody to establish it. Classic stories like SEs cabin or Borovia had us feeling and worrying for the characters, even though we knew they'd make it.
