G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #303

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #303 is all about weaving Revanche into the main storyline and setting up a new partnership between the artificial intelligence and the mutated forces of Cobra led by Serpentor Khan. Despite past betrayals, the two forces come together with Revanche promising superior cyborg soldiers enhancing the mutated Cobra soldiers as well as a small force of Blue Ninja for another assignment.

Cobra Commander #1

Cobra Commander #1

Choosing not only to acknowledge but also incorporate the goofier elements from G.I. JOE: The Movie into the new shared G.I. JOE & Transformers universe is certainly an unexpected choice. The risk plays out all right in terms of background, although I’m hoping we see far less of Cobra-La going forward. Set before the creation of Cobra, the comic gives us the background the man who would become Cobra Commander as a scientist pushing the edges of science in Cobra-La who would then be sent out in to the world to further his own ambitions.

Superman #123

Superman Sunday takes us back to the Silver Age and the first appearance of Super-Girl (but not the one who you might expect). “The Girl of Steel” is the first of three stories in the comic. Although the look of Super-Girl would be used for later variations of the character, this version is not Kal-El‘s cousin from Krypton. Instead the character sprung to life from Jimmy Olsen making a magic wish on an ancient artifact Superman guilted an archeologist into giving his best friend. Oh, the Silver Age.
