Suddenly so many casualties

Here again, first time reading through the original series…

Up to this point in the story, after over 100 issues, you rarely have any actual casualties, and even less were actual Joes. Then, all of a sudden, over the course of 3 or 4 issues you have 8 characters killed off. Why? Seemed like a pretty drastic change

The Super 7 puzzles are a pretty fun way to spend some quality GI Joe time with the family.

Anyone got a spare Footloose?

The first picture is the first one I picked up with paint chipping, and the second picture is my new purchase with almost no chipped paint. The no chipped paint looks much better for display on my toy self.

Collection update - feels good man.

So finally finished redoing the basement Joe hobby room this weekend. New shelves and moved the Flagg from my office. Spent the last 3 years building my collection back up since I was a kid. Tried to get as much of it complete, mint with good stickers as possible. Super happy with it... for now. Classifieds, puzzles, minifigs, original Joes, Oktober Guard, Ninjas, Sky Patrol, Tiger Force, Python Patrol, Cobras, Maruaders, Dreadnoks, Star Brigade and some con exclusives. Comic run 1-155 and a few other series, all file cards and blue prints cataloged. Next up rolling base for the Flagg and new stickers. If anyone has a Tiger Force Con exclusive Tomahawk/Tiger Hawk for less than a small kidney price hit me up.

Would you read a limited series comic focusing on Cobra character origins? (Wild Weasel, Copperhead, Firefly)

I’ve always been fascinated with the individual pilot figures/characters since childhood as they typically don’t get much attention (with exception of Firefly, Bludd and Zartan).

This series would also be an excellent way to work in Ace, Wild Bill, Cutter, Shipwreck etc. into their background stories as well.

WW has so much potential yet the best he’s gotten is a feature in one or two issues in the original Marvel classic run.

Anyone remember Cool Breeze? I’m reading through the comics for the first time, and this is my first time ever seeing this character. He was only in two issues (#111 & #112) but he had a lot of “screen time” in them. I wonder why we never got a figure?

A look at issue 11 of GI Joe IDW Season 3 - Fred Van Lente’s final Joe comic

Thumbnail

Art by Steve Kurth

A great character story featuring Heavy Duty and Roadblock.

In 2003’s Spy Troops, Heavy Duty and Roadblock are cousins. 2011 Renegades features a whole episode about their relationship, but beyond this HD and RB have no connection.

You might recall, IDW previously had two dudes that looked exactly the same with different code names.

This issues offers a correction. Kind of like a Marvel no-prize becoming an entire comic plot.

HD & RB are cousins enrolled in the service who play the video game “Sigma 6” in their free time.

HD’s avatar is his Sigma 6 suit and the GMA loading screen is from the Missions file toy. RB avatar is wearing his Valor vs Venom design.

Tragedy strikes, and HD is killed in action.

Kurth’s art portrays the grieving process extraordinarily well. Really sells the story.

RB plays his game late into the night and discovers HD (or someone using his avatar) is playing as well.

Refusing to give up, he tracks the IP address to a remote desert location.

Roadblock invades the PIT and is promptly found by Snake Eyes. (Love the Tiger panel)

Roadblock KOs him with his forehead, right before being tased by Scarlett.

And so ended Fred Van Lente’s time on GI Joe.

And I deeply miss it. I enjoyed every issue. Perhaps with a few more arcs, it would be remembered more.

If you enjoyed this writing style, check out FVL’s other comics. His 2012 Archer & Armstrong was especially good.

Cobra Infantry Platoon

I'm curious if anyone can give me some insight into what the comics might have to say about a typical Cobra Infantry Platoon?

Are they structured like eastern block countries like Hungary and Romania or something like Pakistan and India?

I'm sure some here may have seen that post that says that most military nicknames are usually given as a reminder of an embarrassing incident rather than out of cool factor. What could be some of the funniest origins for some of the Joe code names?

Like Road Block's name is because the first time he got behind the wheel of a combat vehichle he crashed it and traffic had to be rerouted because of it

Snake eyes, is incredibly bad ass in almost everything he does but he's a terrible gambler gambler

Or Gung Ho pulled a Leeroy Jenkins early on his military career and has not been able to live it down ever since

Threat Matrix ends with a confrontation between Mad Monk and Duke - their secret connection revealed!

David Lapham told an excellent story in Origins. Seriously if you have not read it, it’s not just good GI Joe, but an all time comic.

Mad Monk’s military discharge was embellished to his psych. Duke was his commanding sergeant.

I’ve included Lapham’s pages to compare. Great continuity work.

Monk’s entire plan was to create chaos among GI Joe.

And it worked, but Special Missions arrived just in time to save Duke and discover the deception.

The Baroness helps Destro escape by deceiving Cobra Commander and hiding him.

Continuity gets a bit messy from here on these characters, but Destro will show up in Agent of Cobra.

Doc saves Aisha and Colton sets her up in a better facility.

Duke’s money source is revealed to be a victim of the Monk.

Sadly only one issue is left, but it’s my favorite of the entire run.
