G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #308

The mutant Cobra storyline continues as Serpentor Khan readies stealth fighters with his mutated soldiers who he will drop on Springfield to fight for his version of Cobra. Springfield is also of importance to the Joes who send the entire Ninja Team (hell yeah, give me as much of this group as you fit in every issue) to the city. Interesting to see Scarlett chosen as their leader which chafes Storm Shadow a little. Along with them are also Zartan, the Baroness, and the Dreadnoks, although the attack on the city by the mutated troops may change our heroes’ timeline.

Hit-Monkey - Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Bryce (Jason Sudeikis), Haruka (Ally Maki), and Hit-Monkey look for who set them up leading to a pair of bloody and violent confrontations taking place in the New York Public Library and an an exclusive Gentlemen’s Club. In both situations, Haruka’s new blade overwhelms her creating a new situation for Bryce and the monkey to deal with, but “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?” is most notable for the carnage the three create not once but twice which leaves no one alive left to answer their questions. The episode also introduces the character of Dot, a young assassin who chooses to help our protagonists against the Aldermen for reasons of her own. If there’s a negative to this point in the season, it’s that the humans (each with their own story) are beginning to overshadow our title character.

This will lead to the Olympics and eventually the English Channel as new challenges to overcome.
