Duke, Cross-Country, and Lt. Falcon are all that's left of the Joe team sent to Abysmia and the SAW Viper is racking up a lot of villainy points for a guy with the power of "having a machine gun."





This storyline has a lot of slapstick for an arc where seven people have died.



Case in point. (Also, is Cobra Commander suddenly having bridge bunnies a sign of 90sification?)







The Mobile Battle Bunker (tank, it's a tank) finally arrives.





On this website, people are probably on the 'family-friendly should stay family-friendly" end of the spectrum, but... I gotta say, I get it. I kinda want the Michael Bay version of this scene.

None of these people are Batman! They're Navy SEALs! In real life, all these guys would have the Punisher logo somewhere on their body.





Man, these things sure do escalate quickly when oil is involved...

"Cobra Commander...why do your eyes keep changing colors?"

"...shoot this man."

Cobra Commander is scared of killing Joes because he fears Snake Eyes will get him. Yet when he learns that T&X have killed some Joes, his reaction is to head into the field, where he's more likely to meet Snake Eyes?

This whole plot is just bonkers.

The slapstick is indeed a tonal whiplash. Why let Wildcard touch anything?

The SAW-Viper should have experienced an accident, ROE notwithstanding. He didn’t even get to fall down an elevator shaft.

G.I. Joe full mobilization is kind of sexy. All those toys streaming out of the Pit!

Really feels like the page of all the vehicles should come with little captions hovering nearby telling the readers which toy is which and, far more importantly, how much they cost.

I don't think I've ever found a comic book death as funny as these.

I mean, the deaths themselves weren't funny, but just the whole Cobra situation surrounding it...

if memory serves 3 more people are killed, and eventually 6 of the 7 members of Battle Force 2000 are also killed.
