I'll let Larry Hama explain this one through some typically organic exposition.

Everyone got that? Okay, moving on.

Just more evidence for my theory that Cobra Commander is a frustrated fashion designer.
"I came up with some new uniforms! Are the Joes doing anything new?"
"Well, they've got something called the Eco-Warriors--"
"Perfect! Then we'll call these Toxo-Vipers!"
"Sir, I think you have a problem."
"I'll tell you when I have a problem!"

Oh, Larry Hama, the things they make you work into the plot. And I thought Spider-Man writers had it rough inventing constant reasons for Peter and MJ not to jump each other's bones.

Meanwhile, the Dreadnok captured way back in Issue 35 and Candy are being taken to military prison instead of held indefinitely without trial. *scoffs* When will people learn?

The Cobras turn on today's doomsday weapon and it starts killing all the fish in the Gulf. Damn you, Cobra, do you know how good seafood is for people's blood pressure?


In today's huge battle between Good and Nastiness, Hama tries valiantly to give the most useless Joes something to do. See, kids, you should totally buy an action figure of Barbecue. He has an axe!
To stop the fish genocide, it looks like the Joes will have to use a tactical nuke, until they realize they have a buttload of non-nuclear explosives that do the exact same thing.

You hear that, Oppy? They don't have to nuke anything!


I find it hard to believe that Cobra doesn't have a kiloton of their own explosives lying around, but you know these bad guys. If something's worth doing, it's worth doing by tricking the heroes into doing it for you.
