G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Silent Option #4

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero - Silent Option #4 comic reviewG.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Silent Option wraps up with Ilsa and her human traffickers, with the help of Firefly, looking for revenge by targeting the suburban home of Helix‘s parents. Far too late do the villains learn that Helix’s parents aren’t your average suburbanites as it turns out the pair are more than capable of keeping the traffickers at bay until help can arrive.

There’s plenty of action in G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Silent Option #4 as the villains face unexpected opposition from their targets (including a Claymore mine in the master bedroom), and then Helix, Dawn Moreno, and Bombstrike slice through what opposition is left including making short work of the Red Ninjas and even forcing Ilsa and Firefly to turn on each other.

The Umbrella Academy - The Day That Wasn't / The Day That Was TV review

We get alternate versions of the same day in back-to-back episodes, but because the focus of each episode is different not much repeats, although the family ticking off Vanya (Ellen Page), once again by excluding her, remains a constant. After a brief look at Klaus‘ (Robert Sheehan) time in Vietnam, much of “The Day That Wasn’t” focuses on Number 5‘s (Aidan Gallagher) new job with the Temps Commission as the bides his time, and puts out a couple of poison pills which force Cha Cha (Mary J.
