Destro's Iron Grenadiers are attacking a building in New York which, due to copyright law, will not be referred to. The Joes are there to kick ass and take names.









So that's the situation. Joes at the top of the building, bad guys below them, and local law enforcement at the bottom.





I see you, Hama, nerding out on getting to include some actual Tom Clancy stuff instead of action figures. Live your best life.









They decide to actually use their shiny new superweapon instead of just letting Cobra hijack it.

(The reason Barbie had sore boobs, according to a mid-70’s playground joke.)

The bit about him being bigger is a reference to the fact that his GI JOE doll was 12", as opposed to the 3.75" of RAH.

The introduction of Joe Colton as the original G.I. Joe, thus starting a long tradition of tying him into the team, culminating with him being played by Bruce Willis in the only live action G.I. Joe movie worth mentioning.

Also the introduction of the G.I. Joe SPACE LASER DEATH BEAM.
Which they never used to just... vaporize their foes. Because they're the good guys, and they don't do that. Sure, it crops up now and again, but no one ever says "so... Cobra Island...." with a wink and a nudge.

So if they're not going to use it on Cobra, that does kind of raise the question... why did they build a giant laser if they weren't going to use it?

Why does anyone build a giant laser capable of obliterating a target from space with pinpoint precision?

To pop an entire house full of popcorn, I say.

Just imagine. The ninjas sneaking into Cobra Commander's castle and planting the trap. Cobra Commander coming home from another busy day of being routed by the Joes, only to see his entire castle filled with fluffy white kernels. The Dreadnoks playing in the drifts. Baroness and Destro grabbing a bowl to share as they watch CC rant and rave...

Wow, what a plan. It would take a Real Genius to think up something like that!

Wait, are you really saying that you wouldn't build a space laser just for the fun of it?

... well, not just for the fun of it, no...

They got 14 Quadrillion dollars in government funding that year, and if they didn't spend all of it they wouldn't get another 14 Quadrillion dollars next year.....

I thought Cobra Island was a nation and allied with the UN or some-such now?

Whoa. That’s a character Hama dredged up from a Lore™ deep-dive into Lake Baikal:

I'd largely given up collecting comics for a while, but I *had* to buy this issue.

and I would give Hasbro ALL my money for a Classified version of Joe and Jane.

Never read this issue, but I recognized Joe and Jane immediately. Glad to finally see it! 😺
