I see the Blood Hounds as proto-Cobra Troopers.

Curious when we'll see the first Blood Hound customs.
I really like the idea of Bludd having a band of mercenary underlings, I'd honestly like to see them expanded upon and in other media. Blood Hounds is too good a name to let go to waste. More faceless cannon fodder soldiers for the Joes to face off against is always a welcome sight. |

OK...SPOILERS!!!!!
I have no problem with Bludd getting shot in the head and being disposed of in his first appearance, but I'm sure a lot of people will. I've always hated Bludd. Never did anything for me. I have a feeling he's not gonna be dead though. They'll say he was only shot in the eye and he'll have his patch from now on. But that's bullshit. The art shows a bullet passing right through his cranium. The breeze is blowing where his brains used to be. He's dead as hell. If they kill a character right at the start like this, and immediately reverse it, that shows that there are NO stakes in this universe, and there's no point in taking any of it seriously. It'll just be campy schlock like the Hama story devolved into. The success of this series and this Energon Universe depends on them sticking to their story decisions, and that means dead is dead. No miracle resurrections. Sorry to Bludd fans that disagree.

I also wouldn't be surprised if he stands up and turns out to already be partial cyborg in the next issue since hes on the cover and his arms already been replaced. When he showed up with 2 good eyes I knew he was going to lose one before Joe and Cobra formed, didn't expect it this fast though. I was more surprised they didn't start him off with 2 good arms and have him lose it too in the issue, like GI Joe Renegades had him lose a body part each time he showed up. Big shout out to the artist and writer for having Duke punch off Bludd's helmet before Baroness shoots Bludd in the head. I've seen it so many times in comics and other media where the bullet protection is stupidly taken off the head by the wearer or just ignored when the badguy gets 1 shot in the head. |

I?m probably in the minority, but I?m struggling with Duke. The story is OK. I feel like the first three issues could have been told in one. And I can?t get past the amateurish art. I?ll follow through with the series (and Cobra Commander, which is slow as well but the art is much better) in hopes that Codename: G.I. Joe is better, but it?s gotta get better or I?ll be limiting myself to ARAH, which continues to impress me.
ARAH has been kind of a drag in comparison. The whole drawn out plot with clone Serpentor and Revanche using zombie mutant cyborgs (ugh) for another Cobra civil war has slowed that book to a crawl for me. |

Also, anyone who thinks that gunshot was for anything besides getting Bludd his cyborg eye/eyepatch has no media literacy. Come on, guys. They aren't killing him off THAT quickly.
Curious how they handle that when it looks like Baroness is the one who did it, usually those two have a flirty relationship. Shooting off part of his face probably dampens that a little, haha. |

"I hope you choke on it!" When he yells at the alligator that EATS HIS ARM is one of the better jokes on that show too. Last edited by Spider5800; 03-04-2024 at 01:27 PM.. |

Slightly OT, but does anyone know if Bludd has appeared in ARAH lately?
Thanks in advance for any knowledge on the topic! |

He was in #280, a flashback story set after the events of #34, but I think his last "present day" appearance was back in #191, which ambiguously ended with him fleeing a foreign military that had placed a kill order on him and not showing if he survived.
