G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #306

Despite his prominence on the cover, Snake Eyes doesn’t get a big role in G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #306. In fact we only get the Joe on a training course shooting some targets with an even shorter cameo from Scarlett. That’s indictive of the rest of the issue as well with jumps around quite a bit, almost like a checklist making sure to hit several plot points that may play off at a later date.

Doom

Galactus is out of control and the heroes of the universe have failed to stop him. The oversized one-shot is heavy on narration filling in events as Valeria finds the remains of Doctor Doom.

Usagi Yojimbo: The Crow #2

We don’t get all that much of Miyamoto Usagi in Usagi Yojimbo: The Crow #2 as the rabbit ronin is talked into waiting for Yukichi‘s return by Gen and Stray Dog who both believe the hotheaded young warrior will return after he cools off. That means the bulk of the issues stays with Yukichi who does realize his overreaction, but before he can return he is jumped by a number of a mercenaries after the bounty related to those he and Usagi ran into on their way to town. Although he fights them off for a bit, the interference by a local kid quickly ends the battle.

Action Comics #1065

Superman Saturday takes us to the latest issue of Action Comics where unlikely partnerships are the name of the game. Part of the ongoing House of Brainiac arc, the issue features Superman working with Lobo to fight Braniac‘s army of Czarnians who he’s using to kidnap super-powered heroes and villains from dozens of worlds to power his mad plans (which have still yet to be fully revealed but the apparently do somehow involve the last surviving city of the villain’s home planet of Colu).

Transformers #8

Transformers #8 is most notable for the number of familiar faces introduced to the Energon Universe for the first time. In an issue that gives us a good look at what the Decepticons could be under Soundwave‘s leadership we get Astrotrain, who was found trapped on the unearthed Nemesis spaceship that brough the Decepticons to Earth, We also get the return of Jetfire (although only in plane form), as well as and appearances on Cybertron by both Ultra Magnus and one of my favorites in Shockwave.
