G.I. JOE #9

/ / Comics

While checking in on other ongoing threads such as Destro doing research into the Decepticons behind the back of Cobra Commander and Clutch hiding Hound in the Joe’s compound, the majority of G.I. JOE #9 focuses on the adventures of the Baroness and Cover Girl in Paris. After coming to an understanding, the pair are rudely interrupted by Raptor and then Major Bludd. Although holding their own for a time, the pair eventually become the prisoners of Bludd who looks to gets some revenge on Baroness by attempting to pit her and Cover Girl against each other leading to a shocking final panel (which no doubt is part of a larger plan of Cover Girl to help lead to their escape).

The Brave and the Bold #67

/ / Comics

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a Batman team-up from the classic anthology The Brave and the Bold. Originally launched to highlight heroes and swashbucklers from the past, eventually the comic morphed into a Batman team-up book. The Brave and the Bold #67 features Batman and the Flash working together to take down a gang of thieves enhanced by sneakers allowing them to move too fast for the Dark Knight Detective to catch them. Unaware that the Flash is suffering from a condition where the use of his super-speed is slowly killing him, Batman enlists the help of Central City’s hero to catch the thieves.

Fantastic Four #1

/ / Comics

A new volume of Fantastic Four kicks off here with Sue, Reed, Ben, and Johnny (in a ridiculous mustache) in middle battle with the new emperor of the Marvel Universe – Doctor Doom. Tired of dealing with the foursome, Doom sends them hurtling through time with each member of the team landing centuries apart in the past or future where they can no longer cause him grief (but apparently the computer network tied into their suits still works).

Supergirl #3

/ / Comics

I finally figured out what this comic reminds me of. With it’s small town setting and problems that can ultimately be solved with kind words and a hug, this run of Supergirl reminds me of Archie comics (in a good way). Rebranded “Phonygirl,” Supergirl continues to try and win back the inhabitants of Midvale and free them from machinations of the Kandorian Lesla-Lar whose obsession with Kara has led her to try and take over her life. Unable to keep playing hero, Lesla-Lar then turns to villain.
