G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Silent Missions (Beach Head)

/ / Comics

Honoring the original “Silent Interlude” issue from G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #21 from 1984, Image and Skybound are putting together a series of silent issue one-shots featuring different characters. While I didn’t enjoy it as much as G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Jinx #1, this one-off issue featuring a wounded Beach Head crashing down in a DMZ and being helped by a local woman and her child who he in turn helps with Cobra comes for him, has some nice moments by working around the need for foreign dialogue in an issue without any dialogue and then saving most of the action until the end with the Joe fighting to hold out long enough for his friends to arrive.

G.I. JOE #5 primarily focuses on the escape of Duke, the Baroness, Cover Girl, Risk, and Stalker from M.A.R.S. Industries where Duke receives a not-so-nice welcome from Destro before Clutch‘s theft of a H.I.S.S Tank begins their flight to freedom. We get plenty of action in the escape including Duke rallying the group to action with the franchise’s most famous phrase.

G.I. JOE #2

/ / Comics

The second issue of the relaunched series gives us the end and aftermath of the Cobra raid on G.I. JOE which turned out to be highly successful (although Cobra may have brought more back than they intended). G.I. JOE #2 gives us plenty of Duke‘s hotheadedness pushing for one last surge to stop Cobra before end, and, later while receiving treatment, getting into a fight with the newest member of the squad Risk. On the battlefield, Duke’s actions earns the respect of his enemies, but will continually going off half-cocked cause trust issue with his friends?

G.I. JOE #1

/ / Comics

The relaunch of a new main G.I. JOE title offers us a team of Duke, Rock ‘n Roll, Stalker, Cover Girl, Clutch, and (most surprisingly for those who didn’t read the Duke mini-series) the Baroness. The new series continues the story started in the various mini-series introducing key characters to merging G.I. JOE into a shared universe with the Transformers. The first issue introduces the team and points out early on that despite their skills they are far behind the group who has yet to be revealed as Cobra who is already maximizing Engeron to bolster their forces and the unknown threat of transforming robots from another world.
