G.I. JOE: COBRA FILES
#6: Last time we got to explore
Clockspring’s history. This time, we get
Flint’s, and while it’s not quite as interesting, it goes a long way toward
explaining him and why he wants to relinquish his leadership role and disband
his team. He views everything as FUBAR,
and he’s man enough to know the truth about it.
And we also get a bit more info about Billy, the original Cobra
Commander’s son, but I don’t know. I
think there’s something odd going on with him.
I wouldn’t put it past Mike Costa to turn him on us. Next issue is where things are supposed to
get really fucked up. (On a side note,
it’s suggested that this series might be ending soon. I hope not.
This is my favorite of the Joe books.
The others aren’t even all that good at this point. This is the only good one going.)
ABSOLUTION: RUBICON
#3: Looks like John Dusk has recovered
enough from his last encounter with the Polymath, and he’s gotten Happy Kitty
by his side. In order to draw his
nemesis to him, he publicly cleans up the ghetto by killing a bunch of drug
dealers and other various criminals.
Most people will read this and think, oh, he’s being a real superhero
for a change. Well, kind of. It goes back farther than that. This is the stranger riding into a town
riddled with crime, putting on a badge, and cleaning out the villains. Judging by the last panel, I’m sure we’ll get
his next showdown with the Polymath in the next issue. I’m sure it will be crazier than the last
time.
