So the Serpentor situation has finally been explained: the body in Mindbender's freezer is NOT the actual original Serpentor, but a backup clone with a fake arrow wound over his eye. I guess I can live with that.

The ending of the Dawn & cop situation felt off. In theory, I'm fine with the cop betraying Dawn after she saved him, but him deciding 5 seconds after being rescued that she's too self-righteous to live seemed a bit contrived.

The Baroness is shot and badly wounded, but we know she can't die because then she couldn't keep appearing on the retailer exclusive covers.

EDITED to add an interesting tease in the letters page, with Alex Antone saying to "stay tuned" for news about Skybound potentially releasing more titles set in the ARAH-verse. Possible NYCC announcement?

All of this. Can?t wait for whatever this other ARAH title might be. Also, one heck of an action packed issue. Man, I love this title. Best run since the Whigham-Mushynski era.

I like our new Fred VII stand-in.

I guess Muskrat and the Recon Team don?t have much faith in the capabilities of the entire G.I. Joe Team to defeat Serpentor Khan?.instead opting to resurrect yet another Serpentor to defeat him.

Sunbow season 3 please.

I think the closest you're going to get to that is the Energon Universe.

I just hope that one of them sticks around this time. There's no reason why Serpentor has to always be killed off. Let him and his faction co-exist with the rest of the bad guys.

Bring back Special Missions...and leave out the ninjas, zombies, and cyborgs.

A couple of other random thoughts with this issue:

1. Still getting used to Snake-Eyes with word bubbles.

2. Seeing Buzzer, Torch, and Ripper in action took me straight back to them wrecking Skystrikers at McGuire Airfield.

3. Can?t say enough positive things about the covers since Skybound took the reins. Covers that actually directly relate to the story content makes me smile. Some of the Marvel run?s covers have lived rent-free in my head for 30 years. Im looking at you Shakedown and All the Ships at Sea. Andy Kuberts covers harken back to those days. It?s much appreciated by this fan. Nuff said.

Yep. Best covers since Zeck?s classic run. I hope to see it continue.
